Dear Devotees,
The guided meditation program will be running every Saturday (with some exceptions, please check the website event calendar before attending) from 5.00 pm to 6.45 pm and please arrive by 4.45 pm to start on time and minimise any disturbances to the other participants after starting the program. Also, you are welcome to stay afterward to participate in the daily Buddha Pooja program, Vas Dhamma Sermon (during the Vas season), and/or practice meditation further. 

Due to the COVIDSafe guidelines for social distancing, only 60 participants can be accommodated at this stage, but we are looking forward to increasing these numbers in the future if there is a demand.
