1st Tuesday of December

Dear Friends:
On December 5th, the Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery’s First Tuesday program 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 Karunadhammo. The programs in Berkeley will not be available for online participation. Masks are currently optional.
The schedule is as follows:
-
3:00 - 4:30 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 Karunadhammo in the Dining Room. This is also 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 Karunadhammo 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.
Our gracious host, the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery (BBM) has meditation and chanting programs from 5:15 to 7:15 pm in the Main Shrine Room. These programs partially overlap with the Abhayagiri First Tuesday program at BBM. After the Teatime and prior to the Evening Session, please be mindful of others and take conversations outside of the building.
Note: This will be the last First Tuesday program until April 2024. The Abhayagiri monastics will be on their annual winter retreat period from January – March.
