Please plan to arrive by 9:50 and stay until the end to honor our shared practice.

We gather on Tuesday evening in person and via Zoom. This practice includes stretching, sitting, lying down, and chanting. Enjoy the soft chi energy of the evening which supports our meditation in silence and peace. To receive a Zoom link, please email wontempleNC@gmail.com.

• Please wear loose-fit clothing and clean socks

• Your donations are appreciated!

If you practice from home…

Wear comfortable clothing. Make your home feel like a meditation room with soft light, sitting in a chair or on the floor. Placing candlelight in front of you can be a good ritual for evening meditation.

You may dim the light and sit a little distance from your computer if that is more relaxing, although we encourage you to turn on the video so that we can feel one another’s presence. Thank you for practicing with us! 

Many Voices, Many Insitghts

American Perspectives on Won Buddhism

All are welcome!

With open hearts and minds, we explore each chapter of the book “Many Voices, Many Insights.” Every Thursday, we read, contemplate, and discuss its teachings together. This book is a collection of dharma talks by members of our own sangha, so this study will be meaningful in a unique way.

You can join us:

• 10-11:15 AM in person (Chapel Hill Temple Residence)

• 7-8:15 PM via Zoom

You can purchase a copy of the book from our temples. If you’d like to order this book, we would be happy to mail it to you. (rev.shaun.song@gmail.com)
