City Weekend - Aspiring Bodhisattva Vows

with Ven. Gendun

Online and onsite.

A precious opportunity to receive the Aspiring Bodhisattva Vows from Ven. Gendun, with a full weekend of commentary on their meaning and practice. The actual vows ceremony will take place on Sunday afternoon. It's possible to join for the teachings only, without actually taking on the vows.

More information will follow soon.

Donation

Dāna (generosity) is one of the cornerstones of the Buddhist path. By virtue of their generosity, the Buddha and the ordained sangha offer us the teachings, and in exchange, the lay community supports Dharma centers and the monastic community. This interdependence is essential for us to share the Dharma and continue our work to benefit all sentient beings. With your donation we support our teachers in their cost of living and we uphold our dharma center, which is managed entirely by volunteers.

The suggested donation for this weekend € 75, coffee and tea included for those who did not register for the IDMT class (part of the weekend, on Saturday 15.30 - 18.00 hrs.) beforehand. If you already donated for the IDMT class, you can make a reduced donation of 60 euro through this link.  For students and people with low income, the suggested donation is €50 (with IDMT) or 40 if you already donated for IDMT. Please send an email to amsterdam@maitreya.nl if you'd like to make use of this option.

Dates and times: Saturday June 14: 10.00 - 18.30 hrs. (incl. regular IDMT class), Sunday June 15: 10.00 - 17.00 hrs.

We'll have a shared potluck lunch this weekend. Please bring easy (vegetarian / vegan) food items to share, that don't need extra preparation. We won't have space for that.

The donation amount should never be an obstacle to your access to the Dharma! Please contact us if it might be an obstacle for you.
