Dharma Services
Dharma services offer an opportunity to practice together as a community. Through reading the Buddha’s teachings and listening to explanations by the presiding Venerable (a resident monastic), we deepen our understanding of Buddhism and its application in daily life.
Practicing at the temple provides a supportive environment where people of all experience levels can cultivate together. Chanting, a core Buddhist practice, helps us become familiar with the Dharma while developing mindfulness and concentration. Through regular participation, we gradually align body, speech, and mind with the path of awakening.
All are warmly invited to join our weekly Dharma services on Sundays at 10:00 a.m., followed by a vegetarian lunch offered to all devotees.
