GUIDELINES
• CMC events start on time. We encourage arriving a few minutes early so as not to disrupt others.
• Please turn off cell phones, pagers, etc.
• Please observe Noble Silence except during Q and A periods.
• During Q and A periods please do not comment on what another has said.
• Tea and chocolates are available at most sessions. Help yourself before and after the session.
• Please avoid moving around during meditations and dharma talks.
• The tradition of Buddhist teachings is grounded in the practice of dana (generosity). This practice comes to us from the time of the Buddha when those who received the teachings reciprocated by donating food, clothing, and medicine. The CMC carries on the tradition of dana by, whenever possible, offering the teachings without charging a fee. We rely on the generosity of those who attend to keep the CMC running. At each session there is an opportunity to practice dana by making a contribution to the CMC and the teacher. This also enables us to maintain a policy of turning no one away for lack of funds.
