Meditation is a very important method to practice.  Through one-pointed mind in meditation, we can develop our compassion and wisdom.  The meditation class led by Venerable Ta Yu will resumed after the winter break in May.  The meditation class will be held every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. following by a Dharma talk and discussion.

Yearly clean up is scheduled from July 1 to July 7, 2007.  Everyone is welcome to join us for a good chance of physical workout and accumulating merit.
