    […] While we sat and reflected and discussed what messages Buddhism brings to make our world a better place, the Temple smelled heavenly with the preparation of vegetarian delights and buzzed with activity for tonight’s fundraising event to send both monks and money to Japan.  In a week or so, Buddhist monks are flying to Japan from all over the world. They will gather near the nuclear reactor site at Fukishima to pray and they  are bringing with them funds raised from their temples to help with the restoration and recovery process.  Read on and learn how you can help. Even if you can’t attend in person, you can light a candle at 8:30pm tonight Pacific time and join your prayers with ours. ALL TREMBLE AT VIOLENCE, LIFE IS DEAR TO ALL.
