Join us this New Year’s Eve for a simple yet profound occasion of re-dedication to extending wisdom and compassion for all.
“Moment after moment we should renew our life; we should not stick to old ideas of what life is, or what our way of life is. Especially at the end of the year we should completely renew our feelings and completely clean even our cars. If we always stick to old ideas and always repeat the same thing over and over again, then we are confined in our old way of life. Some excitement or some occasion is necessary to encourage us along.”
– Suzuki Roshi
