Join us on Fridays (after Introduction to Buddhist meditation class) for a traditional Buddhist chanting service and Dhamma talk. This is a great way to start your weekend with a spiritual practice and the knowledge of the supreme Buddha's wisdom. First, we do some chanting, then a short guided loving kindness meditation. Finally, we finish the program with a short reflection on the Buddha's teachings. There is always time afterwards to speak with the monks and ask your questions.
