We will participate in this national online event, Tuesday May 4, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. , and then reconvene in the SCZC Zoom room at 5 p.m. and reflect on the ceremony, on the rise of violence toward Asian Americans, and on the path before us to heal the wounds of racism in America.
Please log into the SCZC Zoom portal or watch live stream directly at www.maywegather.org and join the nation-wide Buddhist sangha in chanting for the AAPI lives lost in the Atlanta shooting last March.
"This national memorial ceremony offers an opportunity for Asian American and other Buddhist communities to come together in mourning, mending, and renewal. We find support in the Dharma’s enduring wisdom. We take refuge under the compassionate gaze of buddhas and bodhisattvas. We counter violence with equanimity, ignorance with wisdom, hatred with kindness, and suffering with healing."
