The monks will be resting and renewing for the month of January. There will be no services. If you would like to donate food for the monks during this time please contact priory via email and the food can be dropped off on porch. If any emergency issues come up you can call Shasta Abbey and request spiritual counseling.

This festival ceremony, Maitreya the Buddha yet to come, is always celebrated as the first Bodhisattva ceremony of the year. The ceremony will be followed by tea and Dharma talk.
