CURRENT GUIDELINES FOR VISITING DHAMMAGIRI

If you have any cold or flu symtoms, please do not visit the monastery.

Daily 10.00 am.
On arrival, register your name and contact details, sterilise hands, proceed to the back deck and follow the instructions of the lay resident. Only six people at a time may lay out food on the buffet tables and proceed in  a one-way  direction through the kitchen and out through the hallway. If you need to use the kitchen, only four people are allowed in the kitchen at any one time. Sangha Dāna may be placed on additional tables on the verandah behind the shrine room.  
Daily 10:30 am.
After being invited by one of the visitors, the monks will come by the visitors lined up along the verandah. ​The monks will not receive rice on their little 'almsround', but just walk past at 1.5m distance. However, everyone can still make a mental determination at that time, and monks can radiate metta. Visitors should then enter the shrine room for Sangha Dāna, Sharing of Merits (only 10 persons plus 4 monks in shrine room). Visitors can then return to the back verandah buffet six at a time and take their meal, proceed in  a one-way direction through the kitchen and out through the hallway, and eat socially distanced. When cleaning up only six people allowed at the food tables and four people in the kitchen at any one time. The senior monk will then be available in the shrine room for a talk at 11:45am. ​ ​

If planning to offer food Dana, note that the Dana time can change on some weekdays.
Sometimes at 7:00am. Please check the calendar above for these days.
(Blessing for donors, but no communal meal or talk on 7:00 am days)
Please note there will be no Dana on 6 October as the monks will be absent from the monastery.

​​Looking forward to seeing many of you at the monastery again.
