Happy Thanksgiving!
Greetings, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for many reasons! This year, I will spend it with my adult children in Maryland, so there will be no practice session on Sunday, December 1st. Speaking of Thanksgiving, OZS is made possible by our supporting members, thank you for supporting OZS! We had a wonderful 10 days with Chong An Sunim. I posted 3 Dharma Talks with Sunim from our OZS practice sessions, enjoy.
