Tea, Chat & Meditation

Join us for a relaxed Friday gathering at the Dharma Drum Meditation Center! 🏡 We invite you to connect, reflect, and meditate together in a warm and welcoming space.

We'll kick things off with tea and open conversation, allowing everyone to share what’s happening in their lives—be it troubles or delights. 🍵✨ After that, you can partake in a calming meditation session for those who wish to stay.

No meditation experience is required, and you’re welcome to participate in whatever way feels right for you!

• 6:00 PM: Tea and conversation
• 7:20 PM: Meditation session

⚠️ Please note: While our usual gatherings are led by monastic Chang Yuan Fashi, this session will be volunteer-led due to Fashi's absence. Check out our Luma page for information on upcoming monk-led sessions.

In the spirit of the Upaddha Sutra, this gathering fosters community, reflection, and mutual support. Everybody is welcome to arrive as they are and stay for as long as they'd like.

✨ Free entry & open to all! ✨
