Join us for a day of learning and practicing the Buddha's teachings. This event includes Dhamma talks, meditation and observing Eight Precepts. We are happy to provide participants with the lunch time-meal (11 am to 12:30 pm).It will be mostly vegetarian. If you are a strict vegetarian or have other dietary limitations, we suggest that you bring food that you are comfortable eating.
If you are new to Buddhist retreats, that is not a problem. There are many volunteers to help you.
You can wear anything that is comfortable. Some people like to wear white, but this is totally optional. Feel free to come as you are.
We will have cushions and chairs to sit on, but if you have a cushion and a mat, please bring them along. Most of the floor is carpeted, but some areas are uncarpeted.

The Buddha encouraged his disciples to follow extra training rules known as
the Eight Precepts as often as they could. Also, Supreme Buddha taught to follow the five precepts every day to collect good kamma (karma).
