On Wednesday night Sangha members old and new gathered to create an ofrenda for Day of the Dead, celebrating our loved ones who have died, our ancestors, and ourselves as we once were.
The ofrenda will remain for several days so that people can continue to add photos and mementos.
On Saturday Nov 2 the SFBC Green Sangha will host a pre-election meditation at 1pm - everyone is welcome to come and meditate and visit the altar.
Here are some of the wonderful quotes from Mokshasi's talk on Wednesday night:
... celebrate un baile con La Muerte, a dance with death —a harmonious partnership between death and life. To love is to learn the steps. To love is to dance the steps.
.. dadme la muerte que me falta.. give me the death I need. (Rosaria Castallenos)
... Today the old one inside you is collecting bones. What is she remaking? What is she making for you?
... You want psychoanalytic advice? Go gather bones.
Feliz Día de los Muertos!
