On Sunday, we are going to enjoy the most lovely display of nature and community! We'll offer everyone the opportunity to bring a bloom up to the altar and place them in a vase. Bow to the altar and receive a blessing if you like! The kids program will lead the procession at 11 a.m. π§‘ππ·

On the Buddhist path, we are responsible our our own emotional life and maturity. The Buddha said, Hatred is, indeed, never appeased by hatred in this world. It is appeased only by loving-kindness. This is an ancient law.
