Hello Everyone,

First, to all that attended the Mindfulness Day today, I want to say thank you very much for a wonderful day of fellowship, Dharma and Sangha communion. It was a joyous experience of family and friendship that was enriching beyond mere words. It has already been discussed and there are some of us that would like to have a Mindfulness Day at Magnolia Village once a month. If any of you have additional suggestions or input, please write or communicate your thoughts in any manner you feel appropriate.

Binh, his family and the members of Magnolia Village were incredibly gracious and made us feel at home. He stressed to all that he wants us to know that we have a permanent and personal home with them, there at Magnolia Village. For this, we are extremely honored, humbled and forever grateful.

The meditation, sharing, food and communion were remarkably special and we are also most grateful and look forward to our times together in the future with great anticipation.

Some of the photos from today are already posted on Dharma Memphis, and can be seen here:

For those that were unable to join us today, you were all missed, and we hope that many of you can join us in the future. The photos cannot begin to give you a true sense of the spirit and energy that abounded, but I hope that you will get a chance to come and experience this with us in the months and years ahead.

Finally, there are many special thanks to be given; Binh, John, Pinaki, Supriya, Candia, Betty, Camren, and a special thanks to *Sharon Boon for leading us all in Yoga practice before the morning and afternoon sessions, and well to everyone for all that you have done to make this such a special day.

Thank you all,

With Deep Gratitude and Metta,

Barrett
