Full Tara Prayer

Tuesday Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. to ~8:30 p.m.
The usual Tuesday meditation/prayer this coming week falls on Tibetan New Year (Losar). Instead, we will do a Full Tara prayer to remove all obstacles and to pray for accomplishment of all our aspirations and make it a very auspicious year for everyone.

For the Full Tara prayer, please

• 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 until after the prayers.
• bring your vajra and bell if you have them

Potluck Lunch

Sunday Feb. 10 at 12 p.m.
We will also celebrate Losar with a potluck lunch taking place after the Sunday Dharma teaching.
