Spring Term Intersections – Buddhist Practice

Intersections are an opportunity to explore the spaces where our spiritual lives and work/study/activities intersect.  As part of this ongoing intersection, a Buddhist practice series is available for the spring term. This series will explore a variety of methods including sitting and walking meditation, prostrations, chanting, discussion and study. The explorations are open to all regardless of background.  Participants attend a progression of sessions, each building upon the last session. Because of the progressive nature of the series, participants are expected to attend all sessions.

Main Hall Flag Pole

The rigging for the flag pole above Main Hall was damaged in the high winds of a couple of weeks ago. It is a complicated repair process given the fact that the pulley for the line is mounted atop a pole that stands 17 feet above the roof of the cupola! Facility Services is aware of the issue and is working on a solution. The flag will be back up as soon as repairs are completed.
