Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it’s a time for deepening their own practice.
While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk.
Please find the schedule for August, September to early October below.
The last Friday of each month is Dhammaloka’s community night with food & refreshments provided starting at 6:30 pm before the guided meditation and talk.
All are welcome.
