Take a 1 hour guided tour of the Dharma Gate Zen Center and Buddhist Temple in Troy. Dharma gates are any form of practice that we undertake to better understand this life, our universe and ourselves a little better. From meditation to selfrefl ection, being part of a sangha to practicing mindful arts, they all provide an opportunity to penetrate deeper into the truth of this universe around us. Experience temple etiquette, an explanation of what a typical Sunday service looks like, as well as a brief overview of Zen. You will also be provided with a short meditation demonstration and then the time to give it a try, if you choose. The tour will wrap with tea and time for a “questions and answers” chat. May we all be well, happy and peaceful, May no harm come to us, May we all also have patience, courage, understanding, and determination to meet and overcome inevitable difficulties, problems, and failures in life (Buddhist blessing). Following, lunch on your own at Ridley’s Bakery & Café
