Happy Thanksgiving 2025 everyone! While preserving the spirit of the holiday, please think of and pray for all of the helpless turkeys which were sacrificed for this day. As I have done in the past, I will stay in the Dharma Center, make an offering to the Three Jewels, and pray & dedicate merit for all of the helpless birds. I also act as a vegetarian and avoid meat on this day. This is my simple way of observing Thanksgiving. “OM AMI DEWA HRI”
