In the August issue of the Flaming Rose Journal, as Summer reaches its Natural Fruition and Fulfillment, we proudly announce the addition of two new features to the Flaming Rose website. The first is a set of web pages, created by Lee DuBose, which explain the Buddhist practice of Lojong and offers a new Lojong saying every day (www.flamingrose.org/lojong). The second is the music site of Joe Kirkwood (www.flamingrose.org/joekirkwoodsongs). With these new features, we extend our reach and expand our vision of Community. We reconfirm our Relation to the Creative Spirit, and the Whole Sacredness of Life and the Earth. With Open Mind and Heart, We rededicate ourselves to Harmony and Peace and the Creation of Unity in a Whole Loving World.
