A DHARMAKAYA CENTER PROGRAM

 

As the moon waxes, people become more susceptible to their emotions. Its apex, when the moon shines full above us, presents a particularly profound time for practice. Instead of falling prey to turmoil and negative emotions, we become more aware of the workings of our minds—and in the process, accumulate additional merit. We invite you to join us.

The program is free and open to all, but reservations are required for each session.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Each month, on the night of the full moon, we hold special full-moon meditation sessions. We sit together at 7 in the evening for 30-40 minutes of group practice, beginning with a recitation of the Sutra of the Recollection of the Noble Three Jewels. Meditators are welcome to spend the night on personal retreat, joining us for dinner on the Full Moon, our morning salutations and meditation, breakfast, and enjoying the campus through lunch. This requires a separate reservation. You may also join just for dinner before the practice; this option is on the registration form.
