• 5:00 - 6:00 pm. In-person Teatime Q&A with an ajahn 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 an ajahn 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.
