                            108 Bells

                            At the last meeting of each year we ring the bell 108 times to eliminate all the causes of suffering.  Please join us tonight for an evening of meditation and a New Year blessing.  On the bright and dark altar, you are invited to place items representing your wishes for the new year.  The bright altar is for the things that you wish to come into the light in the coming year; the dark altar is for those things that you wish to recede into the mystery.  Call 602-421-1613 if you have any questions.
