Setting Up the Tone for the New Year!
Pasadena, California – On January 10, members living in the greater Los Angeles area attended the New Year’s Gathering. After a resonating group recitation of the Blue Sutra, members reflected on the challenges and rewards of the past year and what was to come in 2016. At the end of the gathering, members wrote their “Word of the year”, inspired by Kakizome, Japan’s brush writing for the new year. Members naturally chose positive words to set up the New Year!
