Thank you to everyone who joined in the opening of the Temple garden on Saturday, April 19th!
There was a Temple "Garden Opening Ceremony" to begin the garden growing season. The ceremony included walking in procession around the garden chanting the "Disaster Preventing Dharani", ceremonially planting the first seeds, and chanting our "Garden Chant". We also read a Thich Nhat Hanh quote about being aware of what kinds of thoughts we "water" within ourselves - whether wholesome or unwholesome.
We worked tilling the soil and shaping the garden beds - finishing just as the pouring rain started!
