1st Tuesday Tea and Dhamma Talk at Berkeley Buddhist Monastery

When: 5-9pm, September 3, 2024

Location: 2304 McKinley Ave, Berkeley, CA 94703

Description: Dear Friends:

The Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery’s First Tuesday program will be held on September 3 at the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery. Ajahn Karunadhammo will lead the program. The program will be in-person only, and masks are optional.

The schedule is as follows:

• 5:00 - 6:00 pm. Teatime Q&A with the monastics in the Dining Room. This is a great opportunity to ask your dhamma questions. Kindly keep voices low in the lobby and hallway as you enter and exit the building. Please arrive by 4:50 and help yourself to tea and allowables.

• 7:30 - 9:30 pm. Evening Session in the Main Shrine Room. Dhamma talk preceded by chanting, meditation, and refuges/precepts. We would greatly appreciate your assistance with setting up and putting away chairs/cushions. Doors for this session open at 7:15 pm.

The Berkeley Buddhist Monastery, our gracious host, has meditation and chanting programs from 5:15 to 7:15 pm in the Main Shrine Room. These programs partially overlap with the Abhayagiri First Tuesday program. After the Teatime and prior to the Evening Session, please be mindful of others and take conversations outside the building.
