Valentine's Day Family Program

In the Family Program on Feb 13th, 

the parents discussed different manifestations of love 

while the children made valentines of paper 

and sunflower seed hearts in the snow for the birds.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Work Practice!

Thanks to all who have been participating in Work Practice at Shao Shan Temple.  This past Saturday was our monthly "First Saturday Work Practice"  which left the temple sparkling from top to bottom from the cleaning and the mindful attention.  Thanks also to the informal Thursday work group that has been contributing in so many ways.

Temple Day with Vietnamese lunch

During our January 15th monthly Temple Day, we had the unusual treat of the company of our new Vietnamese friends and that they prepared lunch.

May the connection between Shao Shan Temple and Thich Minh Canh's new temple grow and flourish!

Weekend Meditation Retreat & Family program - Jan 9 & 10

To begin the new year, a weekend meditation retreat was added into the schedule.  The retreat was well attended.  

Also on January 9th, was the family program where the children examined closely bark, snowflakes, clementines and their own breath.  The parents discussed vows and aspirations.

Thanks to all who participated!

Visit by Vietnamese Buddhist group

Shao Shan Temple was honored to host yesterday a visit by Rev.Thich Minh Cahn and a group of lay practitioners.  We look forward to an ongoing connection into the future.  May the Dharma flourish in their new Burlington temple!
