Monthly Days of Mindfulness - Poya Days Once a
month, members and friends of the Ottawa Buddhist Society gather to
practice mindfulness meditation at the Tu-An Pagoda

Days of Mindfulness will be
conducted by a visiting Monk or Nun or by a lay person with experience
in conducting such events. If you are new to OBS events, we
ask that you please consult the following websites for information on
proper conduct / etiquette with Theravada monastics: The Days of Mindfulness run from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and include periods of sitting meditation, walking meditation, Dhamma readings, listening to Dhamma talks (from either an invited teacher or else a taped talk), occasional discussions, as well as a pot-luck vegetarian lunch. If you
cannot attend the full-day program, you may participate in a half-day
session: from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. or from 12:45 to 3:30 p.m.
