Wednesday Dhamma Meeting Group

Dear Dhamma Friends 

 

Everyone is welcome to join us for our weekly online Wednesday dhamma meetings 6:30-8:30pm ET.  We focus on monastic and lay teachings and practices in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.

 

Please feel free to drop in for the first and/or second half of the meetings. If you are attending for the first time, please respond to this email. This is a free offering.

 

Our meetings begin with welcoming and greeting, dedications and a group recitation of the three refuges and five lay ethical precepts (optional). We then have a 45 minute guided meditation. After a short break, we have a dhamma reflection to begin our discussion. We end with chanting or a short guided loving kindness (mettā) and compassion (karuna) practice.

 

Next week Wednesday March 1st we will begin a new dhamma reading: The Breakthrough by Ajahn Amaro.  This is a collection of dhamma reflections, contemplations and practices based on the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah.
