Aryaloka as a place and as a community of people, is a living, breathing ecosystem that has evolved and been cultivated by various hands. As envisioned in the White Lotus Sutra, individuals are watered by the rain of the Dharma, and like plants, are nourished and grow together, each in their unique way. Please join us as we celebrate this wondrous garden!</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
