The Mayor has decided that Tahoma needs a chaplain. In that quest, the Mayor will visit Green Gulch in Muir Beach in Marin to observe some Buddhists in their home environment. Might do some meditating and work on some mindfulness.
In the course of the search, the mayor has identified a potential candidate: a young man who aspires to be a fully ordained Buddhist priest with all rights and privileges. He could set up his own temple in Tahoma and gather a flock centered in his temple. This could have a profound affect on the local environment: natural and social. All for the good.
Despite the seasonal services held on Sundays in the park, there is nothing the rest of the week and nothing after summer is over. Locals would respond positively to a regular presence of a spiritual leader/center that they could count on. It would be a feather in the hat of the community to have its own temple.
The much anticipated experience this weekend should bear fruit. The selection committee eagarly awaits the input from the Mayor(and Deputy).
Stay tuned.
There will be much opportunity for mindfulness exploration and I'm sure you will find many suitable candidates to serve as Tahoma's spiritual advisor. Looking forward to seeing the ranking Tahoma officials this weekend.
