The Pārāyana Vihāra community will be in Winter Retreat Jan 15 – March 18. Please check the Events section for the Sunday Gatherings schedule.

Welcome to our new website

Welcome to our new website! We’re delighted to be able to share this new online space with you as Pārāyana Vihāra comes into being and puts down roots in the Pacific Northwest.

We have brought some familiar items from the prior site – like events and support information – and refreshed our history and about pages.

We have also created a little pool of light where you can light a candle and make a dedication to share what is on your heart. You can also spend some time taking in the dedications of others and sharing blessings. For us, it is a sacred and meaningful place to connect with you all in the heart and dedicate metta and blessings for the benefit of all.

We are in silent retreat at Pārāyana Vihāra through February and March, taking time to deepen our practice.

We’re very happy that you are here.
