ATONEMENT SERVICE AT CLOUDWATER ZENDO ON SUNDAY, MAY 5th AT 10:00 a.m. FOLLOWING MORNING MEDITATION. The Atonement Service centers around the principle of Universal Compassion as represented by Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The service encourages us to examine those thoughts, words and actions which may have caused us to create suffering. We then make a series of vows which can assist us to improve our behavior for the benefit of all. The service includes the chanting of the Dharani of Great Compassion as well as some recitative meditation, an incense offering and a Dharma Talk by Venerable Shih Yingfa or senior monks over informal tea.
------------------------------------------
THE NEW WEBSITE IS COMING SOON. Our updated CloudWater Zendo website is just about ready to go online. The site features an updated graphic interface along with newer features such as a document archive, an interactive calendar, and one-click registration forms for certain events. We will send out a bulletin when the new site is activated. Nine bows of gratitude go to Diane Adelson for her work on the website design and technical specifications.

“Practice Poem” by Upasaka Wisdom of Serenity, aka Zev Rosenberg
"Late afternoon sun
Two boys playing basketball
Pure Land here and now
Breathing in and out
The future does not exist
Why are you waiting?
There is no reality
But this present moment. NOW!
You are what you seek,
Just as you are, innately --
Unborn Buddha-mind."
Amitabha!
