Meditation on ☯ Rebirth and Renewal + Thai Food at a Buddhist Temple!
- March 9 · 12:00 PM
Let's learn about Buddhist teachings on rebirth and renewal for our March meditation event! Our last three events at this temple were our largest events ever, so we've arranged for another trip with the same delicious Thai food prepared by a nearby restaurant.
Join us for a wonderful day learning about meditation in the Thai Buddhist tradition. We will receive an introductory talk and lesson on what Buddhism teaches about rebirth, renewal and reincarnation from a Thai monk named "Peace." Afterwards, we'll enjoy delicious Thai food in the temple while we have a Q & A session with Peace.
The event price includes lunch with a choice of entrees: Green Curry (Tofu or Chicken) or Pad Thai (Tofu or Chicken). Pictured below: Green Curry Tofu.
This EXCLUSIVE event includes:
- Meetup group introductions and facilitation led by Nejla Routsong
- Introductory talk on this month's topic
- Meditation Class led by Thai monk
- Authentic Thai lunch at the temple
- Q & A session with Thai monk
Price: $25 if paid online in advance through Meetup with Paypal. $30 to pay in cash or with credit card at the door. Email [masked] to RSVP without paying online.
Schedule: We will meditate and learn about Buddhism from 12-1:30. Lunch will be served at 1:30 and we will have a Q&A during lunch.

Hi Dick and Maria, actually the temple provides chairs for people to sit in as well as mats for those who prefer to sit on the floor. The temple staff always teach us how to sit before starting.
So don't worry; we will all be very comfortable and happy! :-)

Maria, what you might want to know (and I can't tell with this information) is if, or how long, you might be sitting on the floor. Many Buddhists will sit for hours, which can be quite stressful on the back and knees. Being uncomfortable is not a pleasant introduction to meditation.
