Ceremony for the Beloved Dead

Ceremony for the Beloved Dead

6:10 PM  MST,   Monday, November 1

On this evening, in lieu of our usual sutra service, we’ll hold a ceremony to remember and express our love for those who have died, those we have cared for deeply.  The service is simple, and it includes a time for each of you in turn to light a candle for your loved ones, say their names and speak a few words of remembrance.  You might want to have an altar ready on which you’ll have an unlit candle for each loved one you wish to remember, and perhaps a photo or other memento of each.  You could even offer a favorite food item of your loved one. It’s also fine to attend and just listen to the offerings of other participants.
