WEEKLY PRACTICE SCHEDULE CHANGE

Effective this month, we are discontinuing our Monday night practice, which has been oriented toward beginners.

Instead, we will now offer a beginner's orientation every Thursday at 6:30 pm prior to our standard 7 pm practice session.

As part of orientation, you will be shown a variety of postures, including sitting or kneeling using cushions or a bench or chair. All these postures support sitting upright and still while offering options that minimize discomfort. We will also take you through what to expect during chanting and walking meditation.

Our goal is to make your first visit as comfortable and familiar as possible.

Beginners are still always welcome at any of our special events and regular practice sessions. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early, let someone know it is your first visit, and we will help you get situated.

If you plan to visit as part of a school project, please contact us beforehand so we may plan to be available to answer your class-related questions. Special arrangements should be made to accommodate 3 or more students.

Thanks for your interest in the practice of the Dharma!
