NEW YEAR’S EVE —

Please join us for our annual New Year’s Eve event. Traditionally, we have met in the Aryaloka Shrine room to meditate and ring in the New Year at midnight with our large gong. Due to Covid restrictions, we will be doing a virtual New Year’s Eve event that is a creative alternative to our live event. Join Kamalasiri and Dharmasukta as they usher in the New Year via Zoom. We will convene at 11:15 PM with a loving kindness meditation. Since ringing a gong is impractical on Zoom, at midnight, those who attend will have the opportunity to share a poem that inspires you in any way. It can be related to new beginnings, dealing with , adversity, or hopes for the future. Poetry can be Buddhist-themed or not. We invite you to participate in any way you feel comfortable with. We look forward to seeing you on December 31’st.

NEW YEAR’S DAY —

Every year we gather at Aryaloka to meditate and reflect on peace, setting the tone for the year ahead. This year we will not be able to gather in-person as we usually do, though we will have the opportunity to participate from home via Zoom. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to participate — all are welcome!
