Mandala Ceremony in Atlanta  
Thank you Robert for letting us know about this opportunity. I, John, was able to go down on Friday and spent about an hour and a half watching the monks create the mandala. It was very good. The sound they make on the instrument that distributes the sand. the beauty of the art, the intricacy of the design, the attention of the artists, all lead to a wonderful mindful meditation. Did anyone else go? Send in your reflections and I will be glad to share them here.

Ending with a Metta Chant  We decided to end our meeting from time to time with a Metta Chant that Bowman and Sherre have taught us. Come and experience it! Here are the words:

May (I/you/we) be filled with lovingkindness
May (I/you/we) be well
May (I/you/we) be peaceful, and at ease
May (I/you/we) be happy.

Zoom by Request  We currently set up Zoom when we have a request.  The best way to request is by texting John at 914-512-8156. We are in a rural area and internet is can be spotty.
