Every Tuesday night is Sangha Night at Aryaloka. It's when we gather to meditate and explore aspects of Buddhism through workshops, talks, study, ritual, or discussion. The emphasis is on practical applications of Buddhist principles to our own lives.

Newcomers are welcome! The 40 minute silent meditation in the main shrine room is typically not guided and no meditation instruction is given. (Some people may prefer to have prior instruction. See Programs for more information on introductory classes.)

A separate option for a guided meditation is offered in the library for those who prefer to be led, running concurrently at 7:00pm. You will be able to rejoin the rest of the group for the second half of the evening.

What happens on Sangha Night?

Typically, our Tuesday night activities are:

• 6:45 - Tea and Announcements
• 7:00 - Meditation and shrine room activity
• 8:00 - Study, discussion, or talk on evening's topic
• 9:00 - End

With all of the actitivies, you are free to participate or to just sit and listen. Nothing is compulsory. If you have any questions, please ask!
