We are very grateful to the congregation for their continued support of the DC Center of the SRF. Our call for volunteers for the Nomination Team and the upcoming Center Tour was successful with several devotees signing up at the in-person General Membership meeting on 1/28. Thank you for your devoted and committed service to the Center.
There is also some good news with regard to visits by Sister Brahmani and other monastics at the Greenfield Retreat. Sister Brahmani has agreed to lead services at our Center every other month (6 times per year) including the Christmas meditation. The first monastic-led service for 2024 is this coming Sunday, February 4.
Jai Guru.
