Voting is the most precious and fundamental right in a democracy. We all know the 2020 election is a crucial one. Please join us in exploring an engaged Buddhist approach to the elections, as we envision and plan appropriate responses that include voter registration, getting out the vote, voter protection, and elections retreats. As we join with others to create the world we know is possible, change is in our hands.

Remembering Mary Watson

I want to invite us to be with Mary's spirit, because she really embodied compassion. When Blanche gave her the precepts, she gave her the name, Eyes of Compassion, Nurturing Teacher, and that's what Mary was.
