January 19, 2025
Dear Friends,
We cordially invite you to our monastery on January 19th, 2025 to honor the third year since our teacher’s passing in January 2022.
To celebrate his legacy as his continuation in the Dharma, we invite you to join us in honoring him not on this
day alone but also in our everyday lives.
One of Thầy’s greatest joys in life was walking meditation.
Together, let us walk with Thầy’s mindful steps. Let us breathe with Thầy’s mindful breaths.
Let us walk and breathe mindfully in such a way that there is no longer any divide between Thầy and ourselves.
The student has long since become the teacher and they really are just one, without any separation or difference.
Let us embody Interbeing at its finest as we immerse ourselves fully in this wonderful
art called walking meditation, together, as a community.
The program for this day is as follows:
8:30 Walking Meditation
9:45 Live Dharma Talk
11:30 Ceremony of Honoring Thay
12:45 Lunch
We look forward to seeing you!
Beloved Community
Dr. King and Thầy shared a dream of building a beloved community. Without a beloved community, we cannot go very far.
To honor both of our spiritual giants, we invite you to take a mindful stroll to our Beloved Community Garden. We hope you will find inspiration and creative ways of continuing our spiritual ancestors, of nourishing and building our beloved community through our being and our way of life.
