May all beings be well and free of suffering, and may our votes be counted fairly.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.... ~ Chief Seattle, 1854 See more

Happy Birthday Thich Nhat Hanh! May you be well! "Our practice has to respond to the suffering of modern people. That’s why teachings on communication and reconciliation are important. These teachings are easier for people to understand, even children. But that does not mean these teachings do not have a strong Buddhist base. Their foundation is in no-self, impermanence, interbeing." http://ow.ly/6vvu50BOVro

Sangha Night this week: Wednesday June 17, 7pm: Grieving, with Mokshasi. In the heartbreaking story of Kisagotami the Buddha makes clear the need to move from a pain that separates us from others to a sorrow that connects us to others. As we face the heartbreak of the world we are living in today perhaps we can recognize the nature of being human in our brokenness and pain, and come together and open our hearts in compassion and a desire to help. Register by noon Wednesday - donations optional: http://ow.ly/wV6J50A8B4O
