A DAY OF SHARING GRATITUDE – September 15, 2019

Posted on September 2, 2019 by saraniyasangha

On Sunday, September 15, 2019, please join us for a day of gratitude. We will honour our great Dhamma grandmother, Arahant Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī, the Buddha’s aunt and surrogate mother, on the anniversary of her ordination as the first bhikkhunī.

We will also be celebrating the 70th birthday of our Sati Sārāṇīya Dhamma mother, Ayyā Medhānandī, as well as our 11th anniversary, including 10 years here, in the forests and fields of Tay Valley Township, Ontario.

Along with members of the Tisarana community, we will be hosting Luang Por Viradhammo to bless us with a Dhamma talk as we share gratitude for the devotion and generosity that has created this sanctuary for the Buddha’s Teachings.

11:00 am Rice pindapat, offering food & blessing chant
11:30 Potluck meal
1:30–3 pm Meditation, Dhamma talk, and chanting

** Instead of a gift, please carpool if possible and kindly bring your own plate and fork/spoon to eat out of – this will lessen disposable waste.
