When: 5-9pm, 6 พฤษภาคม 2025

Location: 2304 McKinley Ave, Berkeley, CA 94703

Description: On May 6, the Abhayagiri's First Tuesday programs in Berkeley will feature three sessions, including an online-only Q&A with Ajahn Nyaniko. The online-only Q&A will be available to all but primarily intended for those living out of the area or unable to travel to Berkeley. It will be followed by in-person sessions led by Ajahn Kaccana. The programs in Berkeley will not be available for online participation.

The schedule in Pacific time zone is as follows:

· 4:00 - 5:00 pm. Online Q&A with Ajahn Nyaniko. This is a great opportunity to ask your dhamma questions via Zoom. (See Zoom link further below.)

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

· 7:30 - 9:30 pm. In-person Evening Session with Ajahn Kaccana 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 (BBM), 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 Abhayagiri's First Tuesday program at BBM. After the Teatime and prior to the Evening Session, please be mindful of others and take conversations outside the building.
