Which Activities Should I Attend?

Everyone is welcome to attend any of our events, however the following guidelines may be of help.

Level 1 (L1) activities are appropriate for the newcomer, who has had little or no experience with meditation or Buddhism.

Level 2 (L2) indicates that the activity would work well for anyone who has a basic knowledge of Buddhism and some meditation experience.

Level 3 (L3) activities are designed for more experienced practitioners, who have a solid understanding of Buddhist principles and meditate regularly.

No indicator means that the activity is appropriate for anyone, regardless of experience.

If you’re still not sure please give us a call.


Friends' Night
Sundays, 6:00 PM to 8:15 PM

This is our regular weekly meeting when we come together to meditate, listen to and discuss the Dharma and how it applies to our own practice, and catch up with each other on what is happening in our lives. All are welcome!  A typical Friends' Night is, Sutra study and discussion from 6:00 to 7:15, followed by meditation and puja from 7:30 to 8:15.

Starting Sunday June 8th, we'll be doing weekly readings and discussions around articles contained in the book The Path of Compassion; Writings on Socially Engaged Buddhism, edited by Fred Eppsteiner.  The book contains short articles by various authors.

The book is out of print, but copies are easily obtained at the usual online booksellers.  This book emphasizes the importance of actually taking our Buddhism out into the world.

Schedule for the evening will be 6pm to 7:15 pm, discussion of book; 7:30pm to 8:15 pm, meditation and/or puja.
