Orientation Day, Oct 05
Dear Friends,
We will be meeting for the orientation day at South Kensington Tube station at 11am on Saturday, 15 October 2005. From there we will be taking a bus number 14 and changing at Putney Heath to bus number 93.
The committee will be bringing some food to share on the way, but it would be nice for you to pack something as well.
When we reach the Temple, we will also be giving some Dana(Pali for generosity, which is basically a contribution) of fruit and rice, and if you wish you can contribute either towards the expense or bring your own Dana (the monks do not eat after noon, so don’t offer cooked food).
Please confirm your attendance beforehand and leave your mobile number, or we not know to wait for you if you miss us at S. Kensington tube station. Also try your best to be punctual as we will be waiting as a fairly large group. Finally, as this is a visit to a Temple we should, while having fun and enjoying ourselves, be respectful and considerate in our dress and behaviour.
The rough schedule for the day:
11.00am Set off for Wimbledon Temple
1.00pm Offer Dana
1.30pm Introduction to the Temple and stories from the Mural Paintings by Ajahn Sangthong
2.30pm Games and Discussion
4.00pm Meditation with the Lay Buddhist Association
