Saga Dawa Anniversary : Thursday, June 3rd
celebrating Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and parinirvana
“Without wavering he shined his awareness on his mind. He saw that living beings suffer because they do not understand that they share one common ground with all beings.. When we learn to calm our minds in order to look deeply at the true nature of things, we can arrive at full understanding which dissolves every sorrow and anxiety and gives rise to acceptance and love.” (from Old Path White Clouds, by Thich Nhat Hanh, as a reading offered to the Nalandabodhi Sangha)
“Live from Nalanda West”: Nalandabodhi Sangha Retreat
Students from Nalandabodhi Sangha Retreat would like to report some auspicious events from the past 24 hours. Within an hour after closing the Konchok Chidu Guru Rinpoche empowerment and feast, a magnificent meteor lit the skies of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. During the morning program, the assembly recited “In Praise of the Twelve Deeds of the Buddha.” Rinpoche addressed the sangha about this special holiday, and at lunch the lifestory of the Buddha was read aloud. During lunch and into the afternoon, the high midday sun was surrounded by a large, completely circular rainbow in remarkably clear Seattle skies.
