Photos and resources from Shantideva and Chua Pho Tu

Many people gathered at Chua Pho Tu (Compassion Meditation Pagoda in Hayward) on January 12 for a moving ceremony marking the 3rd anniversary of the continuation of Thích Nhất Hạnh. Here is a photo of our happy group! (Thank you to Chau for the photo.)

The following weekend, on January 18, Home Within Sangha hosted a Day of Mindfulness at Shantideva — the first in a series of DoMs this year that will all be organized by different sanghas. In all, 45 people attended. We were honored by the presence of the abbott, Thay Tu Luc, and Sr. Dinh Nghiem from Plum Village.

Here’s a photo of the movement meditation outside.
