Ancient Teachings for the Modern World

Maggasekha Vihara events going forward :

4690 S Washington Street, Englewood , CO, 80113
732-551-7715

Friday Nights : 7pm – 8:30pm Friday Nights Dhamma Session consisting of Guided Meditation, Dhamma Talk, and Q&A

Saturday Community Dana Event : Starting at 10:30 am the Maggasekha community comes together at the vihara for what we in the west would call a pot-luck. Everyone can bring some kind of dish or food to put on the table. We have lunch together and then at 1pm Bhante has a Dhamma session people can attend.

Its typical in Buddhist temples on weekends for laity to bring food and come together to socialize and get to know each other, and then attend a Dhamma session.

Sunday Pindapat and Picnic on Tennyson : Starting around 10:30 am Bhante will be at the Natural Grocers on the corner of Tennyson and W 38th. He will move down the road stopping in various places with his bowl and if no passerby’s give Dana, he will be getting food at “Swing Thai” the restaurant on Tennyson that supports Bhante on Sundays with lunch if no one else does.

Then after that Bhante and anyone there with him will have a picnic in the park there, having lunch and Dhamma discussion.

Pindapat is the ancient Buddhist tradition of a monastic going into the village with his bowl for alms. In the west its a chance for people to have contact with a Buddhist monk, perhaps even give him some food and ask questions.

It is October 1st, as of today the Maggasekha community, thanks to it’s generosity and desire to see the vision grow, is now officially renting the house here in Englewood Colorado. Antakara has moved in as well, and we have already begun some chores and activities prepping the house for what will hopefully be our inaugural busy weekend here at the Vihara.

Friday we will have our 7pm session as we have been for a few months now. Saturday starting around 10:30am we will begin our community dana/pot luck day, where people come and bring a dish or two to put on the table, to meet and socialize with fellow dhamma friends, have a meal and if you stay long enough, attend the in person Dhamma session at 1pm.

Kalyanamitta ( good virtuous friends) is the whole of the path, as the Buddha has told us, so come meet fellow Maggasekha(students of the path) here in Denver this Friday night, and Saturday morning.

Local Denver friends, join us at the Vihara in Englewood tonight for a Dhamma session and discussion. Check about or contact sections for address and phone number.

Hello friends,

Maggasekha is looking for supporters who are skilled at, and willing to help with a few different things.

The first is website design. The Maggasekha website is woefully lacking in modern website design and functionality. An upgraded website, even if not fully professional, would go a long way in helping people navigate all things Maggasekha.

The Second is the need for skilled graphics artists to help with branding, graphics, and logo related activities for Maggaseka.

Anyone interested in helping should contact Bhante Jayasara to discuss.

Just a quick notification. A few weeks back I brought Dhammapalooza back to it’s original time. A year or two ago I switched it to make it earlier, but now that im in Colorado and two hours behind, I figured it was a good time to try out the old time slot. This should also allow people on the west coast to join as they wont still be at work.

Greetings friends,

The Donorbox has been updated to work with paypal, and to use ACH transfers for those who wish to just go through their bank. There is still a cut taken regardless of what option you use, even ach as far as I can tell. Donorbox and Stripe was chosen due to it being a commonly used combo for other buddhist organizations and it had the lowest fees as far as I could tell.

Also. The website is in dire need of being upgraded. if there is anyone skilled at web design that would like to help, it would be appreciated.

Friday night session in Denver at the house , 7pm. Come join for meditation and Dhamma discussion.

if you are in Denver, join Bhante at the house for an evening Dhamma session.

Greetings friends,

We have about a week and a half or so left of the Dana drive. We will be having a board meeting soon to discuss the situation and move towards a decision as to whether we have the community support to rent the house.

Everyone has been greatly generous and supportive of this possibility and hopefully we will make it. Much merit and gratitude to all.

Greetings Friends,
We have two weeks left to tell Ven Rakshi if we will be renting the house as Maggasekha Vihara or moving out. We have come quite far thanks to the generosity of you, the Maggasekha community, and it is looking quite promising that we will say yes, but we are not there quite yet. Lets see what the next two weeks will bring us.
