      <image:title>Home - Overcoming our Fear of Death &amp; Dying</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Weekend Retreat with Resident Teacher, Gen Chogden April 18th-19th Despite the inevitability of our death, and the complete uncertainty of its time, few of us give it a moment’s thought until it’s too late. In this retreat, we can learn how coming to terms with our mortality enriches our life and enables us to meet our passing with dignity, confidence, and even joy. We can be inspired to live a pure, liberating lifestyle in which every moment is meaningful.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Above the main doorways, there are two deer and a Dharma Wheel. These symbolize the stages of the path to enlightenment.

      <image:title>About KMC Maryland - The Buddha Statue</image:title>
      <image:caption>Along the front wall of the Temple stands the main shrine, at the center of which is a large statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. He showed the manner of accomplishing the ultimate goal of living beings, the attainment of enlightenment, at Bodh Gaya in India in 589 BC. For Buddhists, faith in Buddha is their spiritual life; it is the root of all Dharma realizations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About KMC Maryland - Offerings</image:title>
      <image:caption>In front of the shrine are offerings that are made daily to the holy beings. We can offer anything we find beautiful or welcoming. Traditionally we offer seven substances based on offerings made to revered guests: water for drinking, water for bathing, flowers, incense, light, perfume and food. There is also an eighth offering, music, which is not represented by a physical substance but is offered when we chant prayers. On most days, these offerings are represented by bowls of pure water, but on special prayer days the actual substances are set out.</image:caption>

Part 2 describes different types of mind in detail, revealing the depth and profundity of the Buddhist understanding of the mind.

For us, even a small amount of time or support is most precious; unity and service is our strength. The World Peace Cafe, Temple, and Gardens are open for everyone to enjoy. We hope to create a positive and relaxing environment where people can delight in a peaceful setting, delicious food, and good company.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In late Aug 2015, the work began on installing three rain gardens, which were funded by a $30,000 grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust. Then in September, a variety of native plants were planted due to help from HBI, a federal Job Corps training partner. These gardens are improving the health of the environment and create a more lush and beautiful atmosphere at the temple.</image:caption>
