Use of the Dhamma Hall

 

Visitors are welcome to visit the monastery from 8:00am until the end of the group practice session that evening, i.e. evening pujas, guided meditations, Dhamma talks and midnight vigils.

​

We ask people to refrain from visiting the monastery if they are feeling unwell with symptoms of respiratory illnesses.

 

Dhamma Teachings

 

Commencing on 31 August, a Dhamma talk will be offered every Saturday evening, beginning with chanting and silent meditation at 7.30 pm.

 

Guided meditations occur each week on Sunday evenings at 7.30 pm, also live streamed via the monastery YouTube channel.

 

On most Full and New Moons, the Cittaviveka community will hold a meditation vigil at 7.30 pm, continuing until midnight. The evening programme will include chanting, silent meditation and some form of a Dhamma teaching, either a reading or a recorded talk. Please feel free to join us for as much of the evening as you wish. You can download a calendar showing the lunar days using this link.

Sharing the Midday Meal Offering

 

With the onset of British Summer Time, the midday meal offering is at 11.30am.

​

Visitors wishing to share in the midday meal will be invited to collect food from the kitchen after the resident community has passed through the food line.

 

Once visitors have collected their meal, they can either eat in the house or go back outside. 

 

Making Food Offerings

 

People wishing to offer prepared dishes for the meal may take their offerings directly to the kitchen. Other offerings of requisites can be offered either in the main house or the Dhamma Hall.
