We suggest a $15 fee per person for the day rate for lunch*.
*Note on day rates: We are keeping prices as low as possible for these special sangha events. As we all know, costs have risen considerably since we met in years before, especially food. The fee amounts requested for the day rates are suggested guidelines.
If you are able to give that amount, thank you very much!
We most want to share your company, so please join us and do register for the days you will attend. You are able to enter any amount for your day rate. That information is confidential.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to welcoming you here at Buddha’s Enlightenment Day Sangha Weekend 2025!
