Every January, as a sangha, we chant the precepts and the Three Jewels—The Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha. This year, during our ceremony on January 9, 2023, we’ll give all sangha members an opportunity to share their own words of appreciation and gratitude for our Guiding Teachers, Tim Geil and Tuere Sala.

There are two ways to offer your words of appreciation. In person on January 9, 2023, we will have forms to fill out and there will be opportunities to share your words in person and over zoom. In addition, you can submit your written messages to Cubba.reese@seattleinsight.org. We will read some of these submitted messages during the evening. We encourage you to make your statements of appreciation brief. All sharings may be either signed or anonymous.
