On Saturday, December 16th at 5:30pm the community is invited to gather at the Manjushri Dharma Center (724 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, CA 93950) to celebrate together.   This is a “Lucky Pot” (pot-luck) party, so if possible, please bring a main dish, side dish, snack, fruit, or dessert.   Flowers, candles, and offerings for Rinpoche are also welcome.   Volunteers will provide plates, bowls, cutlery, serving utensils, lemon-mint water, tea and coffee.   A generous volunteer will bring a small American flag cake.  No RSVP is needed for this party, but if you would like to ask questions, make suggestions, or coordinate Lucky Pot offerings, you may contact Rachel C ([email protected]).
