The Gift of Love and Joy
A special celebration and dinner
As the year draws to an end come and celebrate the holidays with us!
The evening will begin with a short teaching and guided meditation with our Resident Teacher, Gen Dorje. Afterwards we will enjoy the company of friends and a delectable dinner.
I will cherish all living beings without exception because this precious mind of love is the supreme method for solving all problems and fulfilling all wishes. Eventually it will give me the supreme happiness of enlightenment.
