Jizo Peace Center

Dear Friends,

Welcome to March! The Center will have a Retreat and Benefit on March 16 (see below). St. Patrick's Day on March 17 will have many celebrations - May the luck of the Irish be with you! Then the Spring Equinox occurs on March 19. Lent continues as a preparation for Holy Week and Easter on March 31 this year, a sacred time for many. Easter is set according to the ancient Moon Calendar - the reason for the date changing every year. Prayers continue for peace on earth and for the transformation of hardened hearts everywhere to compassion!


CENTER ACTIVITIES

The Center is hosting a one day Retreat and Benefit coming up on March 16 (flyer below). Different people, including Chris Faulconer (senior mountain healer), Natalie Zadykian (meditator with a recently printed first book), Izumi Tanaka (artist and meditator) and SunJay (legendary musician) will be leading sessions. Food will be provided by the JPC with the assistance of Ed Serra and Jim Davis. Published poet (The Dust of Shooting Stars) and arts administrator Jeanette Richardson Herring recently agreed to share her work and guidance at the 9:40 - 10:25 time. Ruth Handy will lead meditations associated with the meaning of Jizo - peace, care for children, and help for seniors during the day. Flyer designed by Jim Davis. It has been 5 years since the Center held a Retreat (due to Covid issues).

Regular meditations continue at the Jizo Peace Center, especially at 11:00 am on Saturdays (except for March 9). We are looking forward to granting more compassion scholarships this year, and funds from the Retreat and Benefit will go toward this cause! Donations are also appreciated. On April 20, in the afternoon, there will be Bingo Games with great prizes at the Center. A flyer will soon be out.

AARP TUTORING PROGRAM THROUGH PARENTIS FOUNDATION

The Mid Year Reading scores are out. One of my two students read many more words in one minute than expected, and her accuracy improved from 79% to 99%. The other student, who already is a pretty good reader, did well also. The AARP graded levels of books and method of teaching really work.
