We are moving the date of our monthly Day of Mindfulness<\/a> (usually the third Saturday of the month) to November 22, 2025. We are happy to welcome Su Co Phap Lan and Reverend Elena-Hoang Lien to join us as we practice together. We are also celebrating Avalokiteshvara Day on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to facilitate the Saturday class for the Buddhadharma Studies Institute<\/a> of the Dharma Teacher Order<\/a>, we will also be changing our daily schedule. We will begin with Dharma activities we usually observe during our extended practice. The Day of Mindfulness will begin with lunch and conclude at 8 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
