Weekly Schedule

Because of the Covid pandemic and resulting quarantine, the temple is offering a schedule of "virtual" meditation periods and services via Google Meet. For a meeting link, email northstardharmarefuge@outlook.com. Times are Central Time.

Rev. Master Bennet sets up a laptop computer in the meditation hall focused on the altar. Because of network delays, group recitation of the scriptures does not work. Instead, participants mute their microphones and recite on their own while following Rev. Master Bennet's recitation.

Attitude of mind and heart when attending a "virtual" temple meeting is as important as attending in person. Please bow to your sitting place as you do in a temple's meditation hall, and sit in your usual home sitting place with proper posture. (Allowances can be made to accomodate your computer set-up; again, proper attitude of mind and heart is the important thing.)

Rev. Master Koshin Schomberg of North Cascades Buddhist Priory recorded a series of meditation instruction videos. Newcomers will find it helpful to view at least the first two in the series: Introduction to Meditation and Physical Aspects of Serene Reflection Meditation.
