WE'VE REACHED OUR GOAL!
Lama Zopa Rinpoche has advised us to recite 100,000 Praises to the 21 Taras to remove obstacles and create the causes for the 2020 Retreat. 
Our final count of Praises to the 21 Taras: 603,190

Merit Makers & Side Notes
Thanks go out this week to Venerable Lhamo, Gary Mickey, Patti Pandya and Joey Gooch for setting up the beautiful Tara altar in the middle of the gompa for Tara practice that took place last Saturday. Gary and Joey set up the altar early for the volunteers to set up for the practioners. It's always a happy time when everyone is working to make the altar a beautiful centerpiece for the Tara Practice. Thank you everyone for your kind offering of service to our Center!
We are truly fragile. The slightest thing can change our course. I hear Linda Ronstadt singing ...
