What to Expect
Tranquility Meditation - Sundays 9:30 am - 10:00 am
• Silent or Tranquility meditation (Shamata) is done weekly during our open Sunday program.
• Please arrive at least five minutes before 9:30 am to allow time for getting settled in.
• Sunday greeters will be available for guidance if you are attending in person.
• There will be a short opening prayer followed by the ringing of a meditation gong to mark the beginning and ending of sessions.
• At the conclusion of the Open Meditation, a short dedication prayer is recited.
• You may sit for all or part of the session.
• Please enter and exit quietly and respectfully, and keep your voices low in the shrine room.
Sadhana Practice - Sundays 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Our three main sadhana practices are Chenrezig, the 21 Praises of Green Tara, and Medicine Buddha. We rotate through each practice on a weekly basis. If you are new, you are welcome to leave, meditate, or simply observe the practice, as there is great blessing in doing so.
Dharma Talk - Sundays 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
• The Dharma talks are not given every Sunday but will be announced in emails and on this website.
• The talks will be on various topics. The speakers will be Khenpos, Lamas, and senior students.
What to Wear
