The topic will be imperfection as a spiritual principle.  We will learn about the Japanese concept of wabi sabi and also reflect on our bonpu nature. How can we find beauty in imperfection and the profundity of nature and the cycle of birth, decay and death? Presented by Jinshu.

Note: There will be a special 20 min. Affirmation Ceremony that will take place during the Gathering for those Buddhism 101 Course graduates who wish to become officially Buddhist. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the meaning of Going for Refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and the Sangha.
