“Spirit of Gratitude” November 28, 2010 (one service at 10 AM)

Wendy Repass, Worship Associate

Appreciation, gratitude, thanksgiving. There are times in life when the feeling of gratitude appears and other times when it helps to practice and just say “thank you.” We will explore the spirit of gratitude together in different ways. In Taiwanese Buddhism, the practice of thanking the gods after a wish has come true is called, Huan-yuan. A theatrical group is invited to perform at the temple as part of the spiritual gathering of thanksgiving. Come celebrate the wishes that came true in your life this year, as we invite female performers from Charlottesville’s improv community to join us as we celebrate together.
