Peace Meditate-A-Thon on Memorial Day

Here’s How it Works

Join us throughout the day for peaceful meditation sessions honoring those who have sacrificed—and continue to sacrifice—for the greater good of humanity.

  • 10:00 AM – Opening Prayer Ceremony

  • 10:30 AM–5:00 PM – 25-minute meditation sessions begin every 30 minutes
    (e.g., 10:30, 11:00, 11:30...)

  • Each session is followed by a 5-minute transition for quiet entry, exit, or mindful movement

  • You may come and go only during transition times between sessions

Guidelines for Practice

To maintain a peaceful atmosphere for all:

  • Please enter and exit only during transition times (bell will ring)

  • Remain for the full 25-minute session

  • Keep noble silence throughout your time at the temple

  • Drive in and out quietly

  • Walking meditation on temple grounds is encouraged during breaks

If you're unable to join us in person, you’re warmly invited to practice with us from wherever you are using this schedule.

With the blessing of this practice, may WE abide in our peaceful nature, ready to share peace in our lives and with the world.

Feel free to sign up in advance—or just drop in quietly during a transition period. You’re warmly welcome either way.

Peace Meditate-A-Thon on Memorial Day

Here’s How it Works

All day on Monday May 27, our peaceful meditations will honor those who have sacrificed and are sacrificing their lives for the greater good of humanity. You are invited to attend any of the 25-minute meditation sessions, as we collectively pass our peaceful energy on to others. 

At 10 a.m. we will begin with a prayer ceremony. From 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., continuous 25-minute meditation sessions will start every 30 minutes. Come and go as you like (staying for the entire 25-minute session).

Transitions will be indicated by the ringing of a bell.

Five-minute transition times are for mindfully entering, exiting, and stretching. To respect the practice of others, please:

  • transition with minimal disturbance

  • stay for the entire 25-minute meditation session

  • drive in and out of the parking lot quietly

  • practice noble silence

Sitting periods may be alternated with walking meditations through the temple grounds. Although this program is not offered online, consider joining us wherever you are, using this meditation timetable.

NEW this year:

Your kind donation to the Meditate-a-thon (any amount you choose to give) will be sent to help the Flood Victims in Brazil and the World Central Kitchen for hunger relief around the world.  

3 ways to participate are:

  • you may simply meditate for Peace

  • you may meditate & donate for peace

  • you may simply donate for peace

If possible, please sign up for time slot(s) HERE. (You are welcome to sign up for as many sessions as you wish. You are also welcome any time without signing up.)

With the blessing of this practice, may WE abide in our peaceful nature, ready to share peace in our lives and with the world.
