Sunday Program

The Sunday program begins at 10:00 a.m. with chanting service. Seated meditation begins at 10:20, which is followed with a Dharma talk at 11:20. Everyone is invited for lunch at noon.
 

Seated meditation consists of two 25 minute periods, each followed by a shorter period of walking meditation (kinhin).

Beginners are offered an introduction to meditation during this time. We cover the basics of meditation including posture, meditation techniques, overcoming obstacles, and practicing at home.

 
     

Children may participate in Dharma School which begins after chanting service. Dharma school includes songs, games, and other activities with themes of kindness and compassion.

 

The Dharma talk ranges from Buddhist teachings on meditation and ethical living to current events. The talk is offered by one of our teachers or senior students.
