Dear Friends
We have just received the following message from Don Mackenzie in Edmonton.
“Our Beloved Teacher Cecilie Kwiat passed quietly into the Bardo this morning.”
Cecilie was a friend and an inspiring teacher for many people around the world. She was a real example of the wholesome power of buddhadharma in action.
This evening, at 12 Lake St. Queenstown, NZ, (Sunday 16) at 5pm, we will do the Sadhana of Amitabha, to honour and support the continuing unfolding blessing of her life.
Contemplating the inconceivable number of wholesome moments birthed
into the world through the life of our friend and teacher Cecilie,
May they continue to flower and increase,
inspiring, supporting and beautifying the lives of uncountable beings to come.
May all her family and friends around the world,
and especially her very close sangha in Alberta
find rest and clear seeing, in the heart of Dharma.
May the blessings of Amitabha,
the Buddha of immeasurable light and love,
be realized by everyone, everywhere.
Though most of you would not be able to physically join us, I invite you all to sit at that time and to contemplate Cecilie and the contributions she has made to your life and the lives of others.
with good wishes
Tarchin
