A usual Monday evening consists of a number of practices

  • a reading or a taped dharma talk
  • dharma discussion, a sharing of our experience

Our evening usually ends at about 8:30.

How long have you been meeting?
We have been meeting since 2004 when monastics from Deer Park led a retreat here. For more information, read this history of our group.

Everyone is welcome to join us.

What If I'm New To This?
Feel welcome to join us for a Monday night, and if you have questions or need instruction, just ask.

How do you pay for things?
We have modest expenses mostly related to rental of our meditation space and the cost of a Zoom subscription. These costs are covered by the giving (dana) of our members. If you would like to support our sangha, you may etransfer to our treasurer at treasurerscml@gmail.com.
