Thanksgiving Dinner: There will be a sangha dinner this year. Pot-luck contributions to the meal are encouraged.
"Thanksgiving is a special day for loved ones to join together however they are able, and for that reason it is positive... We are doing this puja to pray that these turkeys be reborn in Amitabha's Pureland. This practice will focus our compassion for them and all sentient beings, including our loved ones who may be ill or have passed away." Lama Sonam Rinpoche, 2014
