During vassa, activities at the monastery will be kept to a minimum in order to provide a quiet environment for practice. The activity that continues will be the monthly Working Bee. At the Vihara, activities continue as usual with a monk from Vimutti leading the monthly Open Day and Sangha-led Sunday evening puja on fourth Sundays.
