Sunday Morning Meditation, Talk and Service

The morning service begins immediately following the meditation period and lasts for approximately ten minutes, after which there is a short bio break and opportunity to meet and greet. The group then sits in a circle for a dharma talk discussion, led by one of our senior teachers. After the morning events, at around 11:30, we adjourn for lunch at a nearby establishment.

Precepts Renewal Ceremony

At or near each full moon we have a ceremony to renew our commitment to living our lives in accordance with the Buddhist precepts (open to all Buddhist and Non-Buddhist, and regardless of whether you've previously received the precepts). This ceremony is deeply meaningful and an important practice for many of our members. It takes place immediately after the morning service and is followed by a dharma talk and discussion about the precepts.

The community lunch on Precepts Sundays is not at a local restaurant, but rather pot luck in our space. If you would like to bring a dish along, that would be great; but your presence is your most important gift, so please stay and join us whether you bring food or not. We always end up with way too much food, so the more the merrier!
