Buffet Lunch at a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery
Details
Not to be confused with the Chinese Buddhist monasteries we visit, this is the Thrangu Tibetan Monastery, a large Buddhist temple in Richmond.
We are meeting at 10:50 just inside the back door of the monastery. We cannot be late because we are getting a tour.
First we will have a tour of the monastery. Following that there will be a very short talk, followed by a question and answer session, and a meditation. We will then have lunch. The lunch is made up of Nepali, Indian and Chinese dishes.
Please note: While vegetarianism is not a requirement of Tibetan Buddhism, this monastery serves only vegetarian and vegan food. 50% of the lunch buffet is vegan. Be sure to check which dishes are vegan before taking a portion.
Lunch is by donation.
Come prepared with cash for your donation and a question to ask.
N.B. We have to give the monastery an accurate number of guests as they are a charity and buying food for our attendees, so agreeing to the registration question when you RSVP is a requirement for attendance at this event. If you get removed from this event by hosts, it's nothing personal--you are very welcome to reregister and just answer the RSVP question.
