Event Background: While many temples in the Buddhist Churches of America take the entire month of August "off" to allow the ministerial team time to "refill their cups", each year VBT's Ministerial Assistants try to provide different opportunities for our sangha to come together during the month of August - even though we will not resume our regular Sunday Dharma services until September, following Labor Day weekend.)
