Meditation Daylong with Abhayagiri Puja Livestream

Portland Friends of the Dhamma is pleased to offer a special drop-in meditation daylong for anyone in the Dhamma and wider community. All meditators are welcome, regardless of tradition or affiliation–feel free to join any part or all of the day. This offering is in-person and on Zoom.

The group will also participate in the 7-9 p.m. live stream of chanting, meditation and Dhamma reflections at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery. The daylong will end with a monastery-style tea time at midnight for those still participating.

Upstairs will be available during the practice periods for formal meditation–sitting, standing or walking is fine–and the downstairs area will be available to read and grab a cup of tea or coffee. Please arrive or transition from upstairs to downstairs between formal meditation periods to hold the space for silence and stillness during each meditation. Ryan is available to offer guidance and answer questions as needed. There is no fee for the event, and donations are gratefully accepted to support future events and programs like this one!
