There will be only informal sittings at 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. during this time, as the resident community observes a period with no mandatory routine.

However, there will still be a Meditation Workshop held on Sunday, October 16 – which is also the last day of the Vassa, or Rains Retreat, called Pavarana Day (‘Auk Pansa’ in Thai).

There will be meal offerings as usual every day at 11 a.m.
