SUMMARY:Meditation Retreat with Bhante Kirinde Chandananda (Sponsorship: Pubudu & Reshani, open)
DESCRIPTION:Knowing and Seeing the Dhamma\nOne-Day Meditation Retreat\nwith Bhante Kirinde Chandananda\nFollowing the Buddhist path involves first knowing the basic principles and then personally experiencing and verifying them for oneself. Without knowing, one cannot esoterically verify.

This retreat will include foundational instructions, guided sitting, standing, and walking meditation, Dhamma talks, group discussions, and sharing sessions.\n\nSaturday 26th July 2025\n8:30 am – 5:00 pmat Cleveland Buddhist Vihara\n\nAbout the Meditation Teacher\nBhante Kirinde Chandananda is the Abbot of the Preah Meada Khante Cambodian Buddhist Association in Fresno, California.He received his monastic training and education in Sri Lanka.
