Full Moon Day practice 

No medicine Buddha practice this evening

We will practice Chenrezing instead, followed by meditation and offering of Butter lamps.

The 21st Century is a time of constant distraction - distracted from one self , from other human beings and  from nature.  Technology and social media entices us into a virtual word devoid of genuine human relationships.  This often results in increased  anxiety, loneliness and isolation.

Meditation and associated practices like loving kindness are   a wonderful way to reconnect with ourselves , others and nature. Practicing together gives us a sense of community and connectedness.
