Thầy’s Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to come together in the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood, being truly present for one another in the present moment. Let us walk and breathe in mindfulness to nourish our happiness and to be in touch with Thầy within each one of us.

Similar to our Days of Mindfulness, this event is open to the public and no registration is required.

The program is as follows:

9:30 am ET Live Dharma Talk

11:30 am ET Thầy’s Memorial Ceremony

1:00pm ET Lunch

Friends interested in practicing with us for a weekend Seasonal Retreat Jan 16 - 18, 2026, please visit About Our Retreats for more information and to register. Thank you.
