Meal Offerings

We are deeply grateful that you are considering offering a midday meal and look forward to sharing this ancient tradition with you.

Our daily meal is at 11:00 AM. If you would like to offer a meal:

  • Please arrive approx. 15 minutes early and bring food that is pre-cooked and can be reheated.
  • Please note that there are currently five (5) residents. We are vegetarian and some community members need to avoid cow dairy and wheat.
  • We take our meal in silence. Ayya Ānandabodhī would be happy to meet with you after the meal for Dhamma discussion.
  • Offerings may also be made by bringing prepared dishes at a more flexible time to drop off at the vihara.
  • Please use the calendars below to find a date and complete the booking form. We will confirm via email with additional details. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Anumodanā ~ We rejoice in the blessings of your generosity!
