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.

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.
Therefore, please make an effort to come to the time for the Dhamma talks.

If you are comfortable with this, 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 use. If you can, put it away for 3 days.
Smile and have fun. We are happily taking a break from our daily lives for just 3 days.
