Special Programs

Pilgrimages, visiting teachers and the great celebrations of the year.

A festival evening at the Vihara

Beyond the weekly routine

A few times a year the Vihara organises something special: a visit from a senior teacher, a pilgrimage to the Buddhist sites of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, or a large meditation program for Buddha Pūrṇimā that draws around two thousand people.

Special programs are announced under Events and through the newsletter, which is sent out at each full moon.
