We are so lucky to have Venerable Ayya Sudhamma living here in Charlotte, and that she visits Greatwoods Zen on the first Sunday of each month to offer teachings. Ayya is a nun in a Buddhist Theravada tradition. She is an incredible teacher, has a deep practice and years of experience. She is a Charlotte-born fully ordained Buddhist female monk, has experienced living in Theravada Buddhist monasteries since 1998. She teaches a variety of meditation techniques as well as Buddhist wisdom. People of all religions are welcome.  We do not try to convert anyone. For more information: charlottebuddhistvihara.org

The day generally begins promptly at 9am with taking the 5 precepts, followed by a talk or some sitting meditation. Without any set time, there are a few opportunities for some nice long sits along with some walking meditation in the woods. There is usually time for some Q&A also.

We invite everyone to come and benefit from her wisdom and support.
