Festival of Thanksgiving
Nov 29 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

In the Soto Zen tradition, showing gratitude is thought to be an important virtue and while the holiday of Thanksgiving could be seen as a secular holiday, it seems like an auspicious time to give expression to our gratitude for the many blessings we receive and especially the opportunity encounter and practice the Dharma. Please join us for a morning of meditation and this festival ceremony followed by tea and a Dharma talk.
