Full Moon Puja — April 10, 7-8:30pm
Back by popular request, Aryaloka’s full moon pujas are part of our 40th anniversary celebration calendar.
It is a traditional Buddhist custom to gather on the full moon and practice together. On these magical evenings that are either on the full moon, or as close to the full moon as our schedule will allow, we gather in community to meditate and chant.
Puja (worship) is a devotional practice that includes recitations in english, mantras in sanskrit, verses in pali, and Dharma readings. All or most is in call and response, so this is suitable for those who have never practiced puja before.
All are welcome and by donation! Please let us know if you’ve never been to Aryaloka before, or if you’ve never practiced puja before. Click here for useful information about visiting Aryaloka.
Our driveway: Driving around Heartwood Circle you'll see a sign for Aryaloka; take a right at the sign and then bear right, following the long driveway that goes into the woods. Please do not bear left into our neighbor's driveway (their house is also a dome and sometimes people get them mixed up). Also please drive around the circle slowly, as there are often walkers in the neighborhood. The main entrance to the center is between the two attached domes.
