🐦 First Time Seeing a Cardinal Here! 🐦
Such a joy to see a beautiful cardinal visiting and enjoying the feeder — they’re doing quite a good job, emptying it within just two days! 😄 I truly love watching these little beings.
May all birds — and all living beings — be well, happy, and free. 🪶💛

🌕 Ill Full Moon Poya Day 🌕
Today we celebrate the sacred Ill Full Moon Poya, marking the completion of the Vassana Retreat — the three months of spiritual reflection and renewal observed by the Sangha.
On this blessed day, we also remember the Bodhisatta Metteyya’s Vivarana (declaration) and the compassionate mission of the Buddha to share the Dhamma for the liberation of all beings.
May the light of this full moon inspire peace, wisdom, and boundless loving-kindness in every heart. 🌼
With Metta,
Green Mountain Monk 🙏

Green Mountain Monk (Bhante Rathana) guided the community of St. Mary’s Church through a loving-kindness meditation, reminding us that mindfulness and inner peace belong to everyone — beyond all labels, paths, or traditions.
🕊️ “Even one minute of mindfulness each day,” Bhante shared, “can transform our lives — bringing greater clarity, peace, and balance.” ✨
A beautiful moment of unity and shared spiritual practice — where hearts from different faiths came together in kindness and stillness. 💖
