Starting January 2012 we will be now meeting daily at the center. Monday to Friday at 8pm we do the 16th Karmapa Meditation, while during the weekends we have personal practice sessions. Wednesday at 8pm stays our “main day”, with a short intro talk at the beginning. If it’s your first time to the Center it’s best to come on Wednesday, but feel free to come any other day!

In case nobody from the Sangha can make it on some day, our home-page will have an announcement about it.

To mark a good start of the new year we’re going to host a lay Buddhist teacher, John Christopherson from La Crosse, WI.

John can only come just before midnight on Friday, so we start with a guided 16th Karmapa Meditation at 8pm on Friday in the Center, followed by a little Q&A with local sangha members. We will then continue Saturday morning with a meditation session, Q&A with John, and a lecture. The program on Sunday will be similar, with lecture in the morning, and meditation session in the afternoon.

All the program takes places at our Center. The help cover the cost of travel we will ask you for donation of $10 per lecture/Q&A session (or $30 for the full event).
