Dear Friends, 

This Sunday, March 29th, please join the WMC for an evening of online mindfulness practice.

After sitting meditation we’ll read Nourishing Happiness, watch a portion of a video dharma talk, and have an opportunity to practice dharma sharing. The entire program will run about 60 minutes total. 

Faced with the war in Iran and the difficulties many sangha members are confronting, we are listening to a 12 minute answer by Thay to a question: Facing ongoing wars waged in our name, how can we transform fear and anger into peacemaking?

On Sunday, we will listen to the second half of Thay’s answer. 

This update may also be helpful: our dear friend Kaira Jewel will be offering WMC a dharma talk on Sunday April 26. She will be reflecting on how to navigate these difficult times? What do we do when there’s a war, with many people suffering, and with different viewpoints about the war?

If you’d like to join us but don’t have the Zoom details, please write to us at wmcsangha@gmail.com and we’ll send you the login information.

Our Sangha is supported by dana - donations given from the heart. Your generosity is a gift that supports the Vihara, WMC expenses, the library, and your own practice. Part of your tax deductible donation also goes to help the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation (which helps support our monks and nuns in monasteries around the world and also helps continue to spread Thay’s teachings everywhere) and automatic monthly donations can be scheduled at our website:

We’ll see you this Sunday! 🙏🪷

Love, Steve
