Due to the tornado watch and the potential for severe weather in our area, we have decided to postpone tonight’s Meditation Program out of an abundance of caution.
Our Basics of Buddhism class will still meet this evening, but it will be held online only. Registered students will receive the Zoom link and meeting information by email.
