From October 1 through January 1, Venerable Clear Grace Dayananda will be observing the Rains Retreat (Vassa), honoring an ancient tradition whose roots reach back to the time of the buddha. This sacred 90-day season is a call to deepen study, strengthen practice, and nurture the bonds of Beloved Community. During this retreat, our regular event rhythm will shift to meet the season. We will gather collectively on Saturday mornings from 8am-9pm for silent presence. Any dharma wisdom talks offered by Venerable will be shared by announcement, so please stay connected for updates. All are invited to practice in the daily flow of temple life: meditation, silence, meals, service, and study. The heart of the retreat remains grounded in living practice and mindful presence. |
