Throughout the vast world
May there be no anxiety and no hindrance.
The cycles of death and life go on;
What else could there be?
If you go when you must go,
How could you not be at ease?
Turn your mind to the Tao
And deliverance will quickly come!

All beings come to health and receive the gift of life”

As we prepare for All Souls Festival we compose ourselves
We approach the tasks with respectful intention
Carefully, and with reverence we place items on the altar
Flowers, fruit, jai, tea, wine
We light incense
It is muted, quiet
There is a palpable sense of connection
