Working Meditation Day
Nov 20 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm

Work is a long standing element of practice in the Zen tradition and represents a concrete way to put practice into action in our everyday life. Working Meditation days at the Priory are a way to concentrate on and develop this aspect of practice and they are a way to give expression to generosity by helping take care of the practical elements of the life of the temple.

Zoom Transfer Of Merit Ceremony
Nov 28 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

We will hold this ceremony via zoom, if you would like to join us, please get in touch.

When we exert ourselves to practice the Dharma we create good consequences or merit; the transfer of merit ceremony is a way for us to devote a particular time and effort to offering that merit for the benefit of specific beings and the world and beings around us.
