The Meditation Hall
We have a spacious Meditation Hall which can seat 20 people or so for meditation.
In addition to chairs, we also have meditation benches (used in a kneeling position) and traditional meditation cushions to sit on for meditation.

With a bay window at the front and patio doors at the rear, the Meditation Hall is very light and airy.
The Common Room
Also on the ground floor we have a common room which is used for Dharma talks and discussions, and where visitors can relax and enjoy a cup of tea.
