Dear Dharma Friends,
Our Wednesday evening yidam practice is Medicine Buddha this week. Saturday is Vajrasattva practice at 9am. This Sunday we will be offering King of Aspiration Prayers and Achi Chokyi Drolma practice and meditation at 10am.
In some unfortunate news, our center was broken into and ransacked last week between Wednesday evening and Saturday morning practices. There was some physical property damage, but we are thankful that it was not worse. The Swissvale police are investigating, and we are implementing some new security measures.
Please be advised: Masks remain optional for our in person practices at the center but we encourage you to please act with caution. We do ask that only fully vaccinated people come in to the center. We will be running the air purifier in the common area. If you are not feeling well or have had a recent exposure to COVID, please ensure that you are negative with a home test before coming in or please join us online.
May the illumination of wisdom teachings shine through all obscurations of our mind, and may our practices be beneficial to all beings!

Sunday, October 27, 10 am. Online and in person. Practice will include recitation of the King of Aspiration Prayers and Achi Chokyi Drolma practice.
