Please join us to generate a collective energy of calm, clarity, and courage to help us all embrace our sadness, anger, and fear and resist the temptation to blame, punish, and choose a side. The ceremony will include a short silent sitting, incense offering, chanting, and a reading of our Teacher's poem.

Even as they strike you down with a mountain of hatred and violence;
even as they step on you and crush you like a worm,
even as they dismember and disembowel you,
remember, brother,
remember: man is not our enemy.
— Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

I pray that the evil forces of this world are destroyed.
