  • The ceremony at 9.00 am is not just for those observing 8 precepts. If you prefer, there's also the option of taking 5 precepts

  • It is possible to attend only parts of the program, but please be seated in the Dhammahall at least 15 mins before start of sessions.

  • Out of consideration to those who meditate all day, please observe noble silence near the Dhammahall on Full Moon Retreat Days


If you can't come personally, the main events at 12:00 pm and 03.00 pm will be live streamed on our Youtube Channel


Below are recordings from earlier live streams, so you can see what we're doing there:
