Interfaith Gathering of Blessings

A GATHERING OF BLESSINGS

The program started out with Dharma master Sure and other nuns started chanting Gwan Yin Bodhisattva name and then a Rabbi (Douglas Kahn) created the sound of the Shofar which was like a horn but the sound that came out of it was magnificent. We then heard a lady named Canto Rosyln Barak recited this verse in Hebrew which I never heard but when she chanted it I also felt very peaceful. After she recited it in Hebrew we then recited it in English. The next speaker was Rev. Paul Chaffee spoke about the history of this interfaith chapel. Dharma Master Sure then recited the Hymn of Repentence and everybody recited along. Rita Semel went to speak about How one tradition addressed the larger community. Father Eugene Boyle spoke but unlike everybody his voice was strong and everybody listened to his inspiring voice. He then sang an old African song

" Well now, this little light of mine, yeah I'm gonna let it shine
Well now, this little light of mine, yeah I'm gonna let it shine
Well now, this little light of mine, yeah I'm gonna let it shine "


Then Rev. Amos Broen talked about the Koran in Hebrew and translated them into English. The next speaker was Shaikh Rashid Patch who talked about the very good relationship with JCRC.
Jewish Community Relation Council. They then gave an award out for the Presentation Of The Bay Area Multifaith Treasure Award and he then gave his speech. Then Dharma Master Sure and Rita Semel sang a blessing to everybody and that concluded the program. After the Interfaith meeting we went to S.F. Chinatown and Tammy and I went to walk in the stores so fun I felt just like a little kid with no worries once again. And we ate a Lucky Creation until about 9:00 then came back home and now typing this hahahaha!!!!!!
