Sunday, November 1

Dear brothers and sisters:

Sunday, November 1 is Dia de Los Muertos, and what better day to contemplate impermanence? This is from the National Geographic website: "Dia de los Muertos recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community. On Dia de los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with their loved ones."

I will share some readings from Brother Phap Hai's book, "Nothing to It" and we will practice the Five Remembrances.

Please remember to TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR!

Smiling,

Karen

Dear Friends,

This Sunday we will be reciting the Five Mindfulness Trainings. This is especially timely as the retreat next week at Deer Park offers an opportunity to receive a transmission of the Five Mindfulness Trainings, possibly even for those not attending the retreat. We will look deeply together to explore the question, “What is the deepest fundamental insight and gift of the Five Mindfulness Trainings.” I look forward to being with you.

Smiling with love and gratitude,

Keith
