Time passes by swiftly and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken! Take heed, do not squander your life. On Sunday, February 20, 2011, we were joined by a special guest, Rev. John Plum-Hermit Swanger, who gave a Dharma talk on Home. Ordained this past Summer as a priest at the Zen Center of Los Angeles, Rev. Swanger is originally from Lancaster.
