The Sangha welcomes you openly and looks forward to attending your vows on September 20.

The Zen Master Jingqing asked one of his disciples:
What's that sound outside?

Disciple:
That's the sound of rain.

Jingqing:
All beings are upside-down; They lose themselves in the pursuit of things.

Disciple:
How should I feel?

Jingqing:
I am the sound of the rain!
