Morning Meditation and Sharing Circle with Paul Haller (in-person and online)

We will sit together for an hour starting at 7 am local Belfast time, followed by a sharing circle where we will speak about our experience of practising with equanimity and patience. Please arrive approximately 10 minutes early.

• There will be three bells to signal the beginning of the sitting meditation period.
• There will be two bells after 25 minutes, followed by a “clack” to begin kinhin, or walking meditation.
• After 10 minutes of kinhin there will be another “clack” to sit down again, followed by three bells for the second period of sitting meditation.
• We end with one bell, followed by the robe chant (which will be on the chant sheet you’ll find under your cushion).
• For morning service, we will chant the Enmei Jukku Kannon Gyo, followed by the Metta Sutta (see chants here).
• Paul Haller will lead a sharing circle in which everyone is invited to participate.

This event will also be available on Zoom.
