<--break->Schedule:
The 2.5-hour session will consist of three parts:

  • The period from 9:30-10:15 am is designed for those for those interested to deepen their practice of Buddhist meditation. Meditation mats + chairs will be available.
  • Ajahn will offer a Dhamma talk at 10:15 am, and answer questions afterwards.  Here is a sample Dhamma Talk, given on May 30, 2010, called "The Benefits of Meditation." (51 minutes long, MP3 format, 17 MB)
  • After the casual pot-luck meal at 11:00 am, Ajahn Sona will be available to chat about Buddhist practice + "life in general."
