SUMMARY:LIFE RELEASE CEREMONY
DESCRIPTION:LIFE RELEASE CEREMONY \nUnder the guidance of Lama Rinpoche\, TMC will be conducting a life release ceremony for fish in Lake Lewisville\, in Hickory Creek\, Texas\, on July 18th at 11:00 AM. At 12 PM we will have a potluck lunch! \nWe will be meeting at Westlake Park. Here is a map link to the specific parking lot area: Meeting Location Linked Here. \nThe entrance to the Park is at 2000 Main Street\, Hickory Creek\, TX 75065. The Park is easily accessed from I 35E. signage indicates a $4 fee for entrance to the Park\, although there was no clear method for payment\, nor anyone in attendance to receive it\, during a recent Park visit. \nThe link to the text that will be used for the Life Release Ceremony is here: Link to Life Release Text \nThe event will be available for online participants on Zoom. \nWe plan to release at least 1\,000 fish (Pimephales promelas). We need about $250 dollars to do this\, but of course\, the more we receive in contributions\, the more fish we can save! They cost $18 a pound\, and there are about a dozen a pound. \nAt last years life release ceremony\, Rinpoche said that saving one life is more important than building a stupa\, and is therefore one of the most beneficial things we can do to benefit ourselves and others! \nJuly 18th is also Chökhor Düchen\, which celebrates the day that Buddha Shakyamuni first taught the Four Noble Truths at the Deer Park in Sarnath\, near Varanasi. This is a day where good karma is multiplied! \nTo share in the merit\, please see our payment link below to make a one time donation for our Life Release Ceremony. \n\n\n\nTMC Life Release Fund
