POYA PROGRAM
Each month on Poya or full-moon day the laity can spend a day at the temple and observe sil or the eight-precepts. The intent is to retreat from day-to-day life to train the mind for spiritual development and mindfulness. The day is spent in a pious manner learning the dhamma, meditating, reciting gatha, offering and partaking in dana, and dhamma discussions.
