Community Gathers for End-Of-Year Dinners

Members and friends of our Vajrarupini Buddhist Center gathered for both a Christmas Eve dinner on December 24th and a potluck dinner on the last evening of 2009.

The December 24th dinner was provided by the center, ably led by Louise who is developing quite a reputation for excellent meals at our regular Sunday Brunches. 

Delicious food set the stage to facilitate conversation between friends and help people get to know others they had either not yet met or had only seen briefly.

Among the participants were Joan, Deshe's mom, and Ken (left) and Deshe and Aaron shown on the right.

After the Christmas eve dinner everyone gathered in the gompa for a group photo. 

Following the New Year's Eve dinner was a Tara Puja. (Puja is defined on the Kadampa Buddhism site as: A ceremony in which offerings and other acts of devotion are performed in front of holy beings.)

Events like these and others are shown on our Events Calendar. 

We're happy to announce that we're starting a new feature on our site ... news and updates about recent events and activities in our community. Stay tuned for more updates!
