Sunday, May 4

A few weekends ago a few members of our sangha celebrated Earth Day by joyfully participating in the Earth Holding Theme Weekend at Deer Park Monastery. Brother Phap Ho gave a talk where he gently invites us to look at our world with open eyes. He encourages us to see that we are not separate from the trees, the rocks and other humans. We have the potential to wake up to our true boddhisattva nature to protect the Earth and nurture the boddhisattva in others. Marge will bring to our sangha some of the highlights from the weekend and will share part of Thay’s Letter to Mother Earth. We will walk peacefully upon Earth, sit together in meditation, and share our aspirations for appreciating this amazing home of ours.
