Also, we had a second Precepts Practice meeting to share observations and contemplations on the second precept. It was a lot of fun and have had me realize the value of Sangha. I would like to share with you upcoming happenings at the temple: * The third Precepts Practice meeting is at 6pm this Sunday on right speech. * Beginner's Zen Retreat is on March 31-April 1. This is a good refresher for those who have taken the introductory meditation course. To boost up the feeling for practice. I would encourage you to let others who you know may be interested. * 2-day retreat is from April 14-16 over Easter. One or half-day is welcome. * Membership meetings with Sunim are scheduled in April. I will send a email about this to members. Always good time to become a member or renew your membership. * Opportunity to help and build Dharma friendship: Every Saturday from 2 to 6pm, you can show up and help out with Buddha's Birthday preparations. We will make colorful decorations, lotus lanterns, garden and clean. Also, do some reading and practice. I will be most appreciative when I see you. peace and love, Sanha [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
