Meditation Groups

Permit us to explain what insight meditation is not.  It is not chanting, humming, or creating any other unfamiliar sounds.  Instead, meditation creates a time of quiet contemplation in the already peaceful atmosphere. Participants are encouraged to sit in whatever manner is comfortable for them while Bhante Sujatha leads them in quieting their minds. This is done through quiet talking, through visualization, but mostly by being mindful of our breath. The great majority of the time is spent simply sitting quiet and being mindful. Sujatha always provides an opportunity for questions, answers, and discussions which many times are highlighted by his own personal experiences throughout the world.

 All are welcome; it matters not if one has experienced a meditation course before. What matters, is a willingness to give it a try in a non-judgmental peaceful space!

The temple is funded by goodwill donations and other goodwill contributions. There is no charge for joining or being a part of meditation groups. Fees that are collected by some individual group are to help organize events and serve the community. Please contact Bhante Sujatha or Bhante Sanyatha for more infomation.
