There are many reasons why I go to Sunday Services and the reasons change week to week, month to month and year to year. However, the first and main reason would be for our children.
I hope they are able to learn about the basic teachings of the dharma such as empathy and compassion, have a familiar place to go or come back to now and in the future but more importantly learn from the other members whom we call family and friends at the mission.
I want them to learn what it means to be part of a community by the genuine smiles, questions of interest from others and even the gentle scoldings from time to time.
These are only some of the reasons I go to Sunday Service.
