Simple rules for the retreat

The minimum of taking 6 Precepts is required.
If you want to do 8 precepts, that would be wonderful. In case, you break a precept by accident, please retake it again.
You can start your day with guided meditation. I recommend TWIM instruction with GM by David Johnson.
Please ensure to mute yourself on Zoom. This is a Global group and we all have a different schedules.
We are all together at the dhamma talks & Q/A time. We’ll listen to pre-taped dhamma talks by Delson. After that, we can discuss or I will answer some of your questions if you have any.
So, please make an effort to come to the time for dhamma talks.
If you are comfortable, please turn on the camera while you are sitting, so we can see each other and get inspiration from each other. You can turn the camera off when you go for walking meditation or doing personal activities.
Please limit your phone. If you can, put it away for 3 days.
Smile and have fun. We are just taking a break from our daily lives for just 3 days 😊
