Oct 30 service related

Hope everyone is doing okay.  Looks like a lot of people may be experiencing power outages.   For your information, the service at 1pm is as scheduled, but please take it safe!  If gohoshi persons are unable to make it, we will try to coordinate with the available members at the temple :)


We are also getting word that the Metro North trains may not be running on schedule, so please check ahead with MTA for more info.


Thank you!

Central Park Cleaning Gohoshi Updates


Hello Everyone! This coming Saturday Oct. 22nd we will be doing a Gohoshi cleaning in Manhattan's Central Park. There is a wonderful vibe at this Gohoshi so please come if you have time. Everyone is welcome followers and non-followers, all ages EXCEPT children (sorry!). There is still plenty of space, please email dmmclean@gmail.com if you would like to come. We will be meeting at East 97th St and Fifth Avenue at 9:30 am Saturday morning. We will head into the park together. If you have difficulties or arrive late, please call David McLean at 917-514-4806. This will be a weeding project in an area that is extremely overgrown. Please dress appropriately for getting dirty. Closed toe shoes are a must. We recommend long sleeve shirt and long pants. The Conservancy will provide the gloves and tools needed as well as water for everyone. The cleaning will be from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm. See you there!

Directions from the Consercancy to get to work site (although we will meet together beforehand!). Please enter the Park at Fifth Avenue and 97th Street. Take the pedestrian pathway straight to the east drive (top of short set of stairs). Cross the east drive at the traffic light and take either the pedestrian pathway or the bridle path on your left up the hill. At the top of the hill, look to you right and you will see the white Consercancy van.

Regarding the Oct 25 evening service at MTC

We actually will plan to have the HIGHLIGHTS from the Re-inspiriting of the Parinirvana Image that day, and not the full version.  Instead, we will also make time for a live dharma talk from visiting Reverend Tomita from Japan on the theme, "EVER-PRESENT."  Hope to see many of you there!
