We are happy you want to connect with sangha activities, even though they are virtual. With limited resources we have put together a simple way here.
Please support RBC. We have lost most of our donations since people don't visit the temple. We want to be here for you, when this is all over.

A normal session consists of an invocation, a 20 minute Mindfulness sitting, followed by a shorter walking meditation and then a second sitting - tea and question time will follow. Please understand that in our Shin Buddhist tradition we teach and practice meditation as a healthful centering activity. We consider it spiritually neutral and not a process of “perfecting the individual”. You are already ok, just as you are. Dana [donation] is encouraged as is customary at any meditation hall.
