We will have a Full Moon Tara prayer Wednesday Jan. 31 starting at 7 p.m. It’s not only the first of two Blue Moons in 2018, but also a super moon and total Lunar eclipse. All three special moons in one day. So this will be a very powerful day for practice. The last Blue Moon total eclipse was 150 years ago.

For the Full Tara prayer, please

• bring your vajra and bell if you have them
• bring offerings for the altar: flowers, fruits or cookies made without eggs or animal fats.
• avoid eating meat, eggs, onions or garlic during the day.

Another special event coming up is Yamantaka Purification, Saturday Feb 10 at 11 a.m. A separate reminder will be sent for the event next week.
