Interested in learning more about the basics of Buddhism in a peaceful monastic
setting? Join DRBY for a weekend retreat especially geared for young adults with
little or no experience with Buddhism. We will be exploring the Buddha’s core
teachings such as the Four Noble Truths and its application to our daily lives.
The weekend will be an immersion experience in the
Dharma, the Buddha’s teachings, with a full schedule of classes,
meditation, and ceremonies.
