We offer a service/practice every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. The Sunday service/practice consists of various chants along with short periods of meditation, music consisting of singing the Tara and Chenrezig mantras, a guided meditation, and concludes with a short Dharma talk. Guests and visitors are always welcome and the service/practice is published in a program and is very easy to follow along. The published program even includes an annotated guide along the right hand margins of each page.

Weekly Sadhana Practices
Tuesdays, 7:00 PM
Green Tara
The beloved deity Green Tara is the feminine embodiment of enlightenment. For centuries, practitioners have turned to her for protection from both external and internal dangers, ranging from fire to anger and arrogance. Anyone interested in pursuing the enlightened qualities of this Bodhisattva is invited to join us in this sadhana practice.
Thursdays, 7:00 PM
Medicine Buddha
Medicine Buddha is associated with healing. There is a difference between healing and a cure. A cure may not always be possible, however one can always be healed. Join us for doing the sadhana of Medicine Buddha.
Yoga Practice
Saturdays, 1:00 PM
Yoga Class
We now offer a weekly yoga class every Saturday from 1 - 2 pm free of charge (by donation only) taught by Britten Bolenbaugh. The class meets in the shrine room and will focus on hatha yoga postures. This class is designed for beginners, as well as advanced practitioners. Wear loose comfortable clothes and bring a yoga (sticky) mat.
Class Description: The first two or three yoga classes will be in the yoga style of Hatha (combination beginners level). This will allow everyone of every level to learn proper breath (oojai/ujjayi breathing) and poses - slow paced and non-stressful. Beginning on the third or fourth class I will move into Vinyasa (combination all levels)style yoga which will be faster paced that Hatha incorporating sun salutation, a variety of poses and balances. I will show poses and balances for many different levels so all will be challenged and comfortable. During Vinyasa we will focus on breath, deliberate movements into poses, holding poses, proper body alignment (to prevent any injury) and building together a class allowing for all levels to find their own way for that day.
Instructor: Britten Bolenbaugh
Dates & Times: Every Saturday, beginning Jan. 5th 1 - 2 p.m.
Class Fee: Free - ($15 donation per class to the Rime Center is encouraged)
