The usual Tuesday meditation and prayer session tomorrow evening (Feb. 12) is cancelled due to continued extreme cold warnings.

We will keep an eye on the weather as well for the next Tuesday Full Moon Tara Prayer (Feb. 19) and send notice if needed.

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.

Feb. 17 Dharma Teaching Schedule Change
