Everyone are invited to stay overnight and all you will need are your sleeping bag and toiletries. It is also okay to leave and return in the morning to resume your temple practice. Do not worry if you are a little late for the potluck supper as it's understood that traffic can sometimes make 6:00 PM difficult, but do try to make it as both the food and camaraderie are great. Besides being a good time to relax, visit, and get to know one another better, everyone is eager for you to try their vegetarian dish and to try yours too!
There are no fees for the Day of Mindfulness but donations are accepted. All donations received are used to help defray temple expenses throughout the year. If you would like to make an offering please place it in the donation box located in front of the Buddha inside the temple.
Thank you very much and we hope that everyone are able to join us.
