Center cleanup

Please join us in preparation for Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche’s visit for a cleaning day to tidy up the center on Saturday, August 8th at 1PM-2PM. (Immediately after Lorne’s review class.)

This preliminary practice will help us create the conditions to continue receiving the dharma teaching now and in future lives! Cleaning will take about an hour, so the more help we can get, the faster we will be done. Thank you!!
