WAYS TO CONNECT
Eight suggested program categories for the temple’s consideration, grounded in respectful Theravada practice and community care.
These categories are ideas, not claims of regular temple programs. Names, responsibilities, dates, and participation rules need temple approval before any event opens to the public.
These are sample plans for February and November 2026, not confirmed temple events. February entries are planning examples, not reports of activities that took place.
RELIGIOUS CEREMONY
A proposed gathering for respectful chanting, with introductory guidance for newcomers.
Proposed · To be confirmed
The suggested morning session would use chanting texts approved by the temple. Confirm dress, venue, and participation arrangements first; no session is confirmed.
