We're approaching the sad anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. I was in lower Manhattan that day, and thinking of that terrible loss is still hard. The lower corridors of the World Trade Center used to be part of my daily commute. I walked from the PATH trains to the Chamber Street subway station five days a week, and I still see the whole route clearly in my mind.

By this time next year, for the 10th anniversary, a memorial park is supposed to be open to the public. The city promises a "forest" of 400 trees surrounding two huge reflecting pools built into the footprints of the fallen towers. The first 16 trees, 30-foot-tall swamp white oaks, were planted last week.

On Saturday, from 6 to 9 pm, the New York Buddhist Church on Riverside Drive, Manhattan, will be holding its annual 9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony. The NYBC is a Jodo Shinshu temple established in 1938. The ceremony will be both Buddhist and interfaith. Before the many lanterns representing the dead are floated out on the Hudson River, a series of interfaith prayers will be led by the Interfaith Center of New York. Food will be provided by the local Sikh community.

Via the Rev. Danny Fisher -- His Holiness the Dalai Lama will give three-day teachings on the Heart Sutra and Gyalsey Thokme Sangpo's "37 Practices of a Bodhisattva" that will be available to the public via live webcast. And if you miss the live webcast, you can download and watch the teachings later. Very cool.

Catch the live webcasts on the Dalai Lama's website beginning tomorrow, September 8, and continuing to September 10. Sessions will be from 9:30am-11:30am and 1:00pm-3:00pm Indian Standard Time (GMT+5.30).  If you are like me and need help calculating time zone differences, here is a time zone converter.

My other recommendation is going to sound a bit odd, but it's a sermon by the Rev. James Ford, Unitarian Universalist minister and ordained Soto Zen priest -- "Jesus Was a Carpeter: A Sermon on Religion and Politics." I think some of you might enjoy it.
