Sunday sessions start around 11 AM (?) and has more of the Vietnamese individuals. A light dinner and lunch, respectively, are served before the sessions. Do keep in mind that these are vegetarian meals composing of non-meat dishes. I enjoy the Saturday sessions more because it's more relaxing, me not being too comfortable with my Viet. lol. Sessions are causal and varies each week. There is usually a walking mediation, dharma talk, and sitting mediation. Well, that has been my experience on Saturday evenings. Master Hai, or Thay as he likes to be called (roughly meaning teacher), speaks both English and Vietnamese so don't worry about feeling lost. He lives at this place so you can come by to visit, mediate, or ask questions pretty much any time. Although this is a Buddhist temple, they don't force anything upon you or try to convert you. Think of this place as a Zen sanctuary. There is also a garden outside for enjoyment reserved for warmer weather. :) There are a few parking spaces in the front, but just drive around to the back for additional parking spaces. This place is a house that's converted so it will be a normal residential home with flags and other distinguishable statutes. There is no dress code. Just don't come looking like you are about to go to the club in revealing clothing. Check out this link where Master Hai's Master is talking with Oprah. Yes, Oprah Winifred. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=thich+nhat+hai+oprah&view=detail&mid=A2FC537AE4301FF26C41A2FC537AE4301FF26C41&FORM=VIRE11

    Ever since I've been studying Religion, I'm more and more intrigued with Buddhism. I've only knew…read moreabout Theravada Buddhism, which is practiced mainly in SE Asia - Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka (not SE Asia but still). Tibetan Buddhism is unique since it's sort of still Mahayana Buddhism but can be categorized as Vajrayana Buddhism. I never really understood Theravada Buddhism. My husband is Cambodian and I have a lot of Laotian friends. I've attended their temples and didn't understand it. What I love about Vajrayana Buddhism is how beautifully colorful it is to teaching you self-love and meditation. Everyone is invited. Free meditation sessions every Sunday from 11 am - Noon. Donations accepted. Gift shop with beautiful souvenirs. Everyone is very welcoming. The first three rows are for those who want to sit down on floor level to meditate. There are pillows for comfort. I sat in the front, in the middle. The monk is very well articulated and spoke with a little humor. What he speaks about is "common sense" but it will make you think again. About your life. About what it means to live. Towards the end, there was a 20ish minutes session of meditation to clear your mind. I love it! I plan to more and often again. Everyone should take time for self-love. 252/2019

    A great place to participate in a simple guided meditation or advanced Buddhist practice.

Most public talks are available on Livestream. The Shrine is one of the best examples of high Tibetan style in North America. Closed Christmas week next open for company Sunday 12-31-2017. I found the Center right as they opened in the current building around 2008.
