MERIT-MAKING PRACTICE DAY |

 |
Join us on Friday, October 3, beginning at 10am, for a Merit-Making Practice Day! Attend any or all of the five 40-minute practices, graciously led by Venerable Angie Muir (offsite, via Zoom), Venerable Amy Miller (offsite via Zoom), and Gen Don Handrick (in person at Kadampa Center and via Zoom). These group practice sessions will collectively generate merit for the FPMT North American Region and each of our centers, projects, services and study groups. All are welcome to join for one or more sessions ~ drop in anytime! Those who live in the Raleigh area are invited to attend in person at Kadampa Center. For those who are unable to attend in person, please join online via Zoom HERE. |
The fall FPMT North American Regional Meeting (NARM) takes place on Saturday, October 4, and is exclusively for Board of Director members and those in other management and/or leadership roles.
However, the Merit-Making Practice Day, offered the day before NARM, is open to everyone! Drop in for any or all practice sessions ~ your participation is greatly encouraged and appreciated! Each 40-minute practice will begin at the top of the hour, followed by a 20-minute break.
