meditation

The public Meditation for Peace and Compassion
will take occur at Auditorium Shores
near the Vaughan memorial on Friday, May 9.

After the first part of the Dissolution Ceremony at City Hall has taken place, the monks will lead a procession out of the building
and along the South First Street bridge.

Arriving at Auditorium Shores,
the second part of the Dissolution ceremony will be completed.
The Monks will then lead those wishing to participate
to an area near the Vaughan statute
and then conduct the Meditation for Peace and Compassion.

The start time for the Dissolution Ceremony
at City Hall, will begin at 5:30pm.
Because of the many factors that come into play,
it is difficult to know precisely when the meditation will begin.

If you are attending only the meditation part,
you might want to arrive at Auditorium Shores around 6,
and then wait. The meditation should be underway
by 7pm and last around 30 minutes.
If you wish, please bring a blanket or cushion.
After the meditation, you are welcome to greet the monks
and offer your thanks.

At 9:15, you are invited to join the Monks
at The Clay Pit Restaurant for a 9:30 dinner.
As much as we would wish otherwise,
this part of the event, is not free.
