Event parking: There is limited street parking, and we want to be good neighbors. So if you are able to walk a short distance, please do not park on the street near the center. There is a metered parking lot on Monongahela Avenue at Denniston, or you can park for free in the Swissvale Shopping Center at Church Street and Monongahela Avenue. Either location is about a block from the center.
The schedule for the teachings will be as follows (all times are EST/New York time):

Note: If attending in person, you may bring a lunch or go out. The center will provide tea - you may bring your own mug.
It is also customary to offer a khata and dana to our teachers at the end of the teachings as a gesture of gratitude for their kindness and appreciation for their teachings. To learn more about khata offerings and dana,
