meditation, as well as a Dharma Talk and Transmission of the 5 Mindfulness
Trainings by Venerable Brother Thich Chan Huong Hue. After the Ceremony, we
will enjoy a traditional Vietnamese vegetarian lunch lovingly prepared by
the monastic and lay Sanghas.

Please arrive by 10:30 A.M. so you can relax, absorb the peaceful beauty of
the natural surroundings, and help the Sangha set up for the day. Formal
activities begin promptly at 11:00 A.M.
