Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Please come join us for a peaceful and uplifting meeting!

The Rainbow Sangha has recently changed our meeting location to the Albuquerque Zen Center (AZC) located at 2300 Garfield Ave. SE in Albuquerque. It’s on the south side of Garfield, a couple of doors east of Yale Blvd. This is about four long blocks south of the University of New Mexico. We are renting meeting space from AZC, which is a community zen center. It has a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere.

We meet from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday evenings in the Zendo. The Zendo has recently been renovated with fresh plaster and floor sealant. It will be available again for our meetings starting Nov. 3, 2019.

We are fortunate on Nov. 3 to have Bee leading us on the Sutra of the Full Awareness of Breathing.

This is not a recipe in the usual sense. But David brought a herbal tea that had a poetic name and a large fascinating ingredients list. And the taste and the aroma was amazing.I can’t help but be mindful when I sip this tea. I think I have a new favorite.

David got it from teasource.com.
