May 30th we go back to our standard schedule & around 11am it is our June 2015 full moon ceremony. June is the full Strawberry Moon to the Algonquin tribes. however, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. also named “strawberry” because of the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of june.
and as such, it is our renewal of our Bodhisattva vows this upcoming Saturday morning after the Saturday Morning Dharma talk.
The ceremony takes about a half-hour and involves some thirty full prostrations, but simple standing bows are also all right if prostrations are too strenuous. All are welcome to join in this ceremony/celebration.
Every Saturday we offer early morning zazen (seated meditation), morning service, a brief drop-in meditation instruction at 8:30am. And again zazen at 9:25 am. We wrap up with a dharma talk at 10:15am followed by ceremony when applicable and then right to social time, tea and cookies. Please join us!
