There is no better time for focused practice than this! Consider joining for what you can.
Ceremony of recognition: On Sunday we will have a ceremony in recognition of Jack’s years of dedicated teaching and encouragement, followed by the confirmation of Lee as Diamond Sangha teacher associated with Three Treasures Sangha.
Registration: It would be helpful if all participants would send an email confirming your plan for attendance to Barb Carey (click here) including your phone number. Registration is necessary for full-time participants who would like dokusan with Jack. All are welcome to attend at the last minute as well.
Dana: We ask for dana for the teaching. As you think about what to give, please remember Jack’s commitment to practice year-round, and to each of us and all of us during a retreat. Dana can be sent to Jack Duffy, Box 512, Deming, WA 98244, or the Mountain Lamp PayPal account with a note that it is for Jack.
