Mid-Autumn Celebration by RYI Student Society 

On October 6th, RYI students gathered to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival through a serene session of copying the Heart Sutra. Tracing the characters from carbon copies of the Sutra, students were able to venerate the Sutra in the same way that Chinese people have been doing for millennia. Mooncakes were also shared and savored (courtesy of the Student Society)

Under the full moon and the chanting of the Heart Sutra quietly playing in the background, our students enjoyed a mindful evening filled with quiet joy.
