Half-day sitting led by Eishin Nancy Easton, @ 7:30 am until 12:30 pm.  Parinirvana Day is a Mahayana Buddhist holiday that commemorates Buddha’s passing into Parinirvana, upon the death of his physical body. This half-day sitting is an opportunity to deepen your practice, and to reflect on ways that Buddha’s life and teachings continue to resonate in our world.
