The IBC holds a Mid-Winter Sutra Recitation at the Birthplace of Rissho Kosei-kai
   for 9 days from Saturday Jan. 18 to Sunday Jan. 26, 2014.

   During this period, we recite the Threefold Lotus Sutra
   (Dr.Reeves' translation version) from beginning to end according to the following schedule.

   The Lotus Sutra is available at
http://www.wisdompubs.org/book/lotus-sutra.
   Or you can use sutra books prepared at the reception desk for each day's recitation
.


   This is an annual practice we carry out in the coldest season of the year through which
   we purify and strengthen our mind and body, and realize Buddha's deep compassion.

   The recitation starts at 6:00 a.m. and finishes around 7:30 a.m. All are welcome.
   Please contact the IBC if you are interestd in joining this traditional Buddhist practice.
Place: Birthplace of Rissho Kosei-kai
