This Sunday at our regular gathering we will continue with the care of the earth theme that Pete and our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh brought to us last week. Thay wrote that "every Buddhist practitioner should be a protector of the environment" (from The World We Have, A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology). Marge will introduce the Earth Holder Bodhisattva and the Earth Peace Treaty Commitment Sheet, and we will contemplate our own personal role in caring for the planet as we approach Earth Day, April 22.

This Sunday, April 7th

This Sunday we will have the opportunity to spend 20 minutes with Thich Nhat Hanh via videotape. In this portion of a Dharma talk from last year he explores, among other things, "The Practice of Non-Practice.” If the equipment works as expected we will not only get to hear Thay talk about this practice but also see him actually doing it/demonstrating it right there for us.
