SUMMARY:Life Release
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that on June 11th from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM\, Loppön Rinpoche will lead the Sangha in a life release ceremony. We are blessed with the ongoing opportunity to participate in Loppön Rinpoche’s precious life release activity. This transformative practice invites us to save lives and extend compassion to sentient beings in both California. \nLocation \nThe life release will be held at Loch Lomond Marina park in San Rafael. \nMeeting Point \nWe will meet at the Loch Lomond live bait house:\n110 Loch Lomond Dr\, San Rafael\, CA 94901 \nOfferings \nIf you feel called to offer your support\, please send your contribution via PayPal to https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/77SBTSHKDYBAW. \nIn the wise words of HH Chatral Rinpoche: \n\n“Make every effort not to kill any living creature—birds\, fish\, deer\, cattle and even tiny insects—and strive instead to save their lives\, offering them protection from every fear. The benefit of doing so is beyond imagining.“ \n\nAnd as Loppön Rinpoche reminds us: \n\n“Long life and happiness are what we long for; this is no different for all living beings. Of all the relative virtues\, there is no greater merit than giving life to near-death beings.“ \n\nLunch \nPlease bring your own vegetarian lunch to enjoy with us after the life release. If you would like to\, you may also purchase something vegetarian from Andy’s Local Market in the Marina. \nThe life release is open to anyone who would like to attend. \nThank you all for your generosity and unwavering commitment to compassion. May your hearts be uplifted by the countless lives you help save\, and may we all continue to share in long life and happiness.
