Open for Day Visitors / Alms Round. Although state and local COVID-19 restrictions have been mostly lifted, the monastery is still taking precautions to protect the Sangha and those in residence. Visitors are asked to wear masks, and remain outside the buildings. Morning visitors may sit outside the sala and still hear the Dhamma talk and participate in the chanting. Food offerings are welcome, but at this time we are still asking visitors to observe the almsround from a distance.
Closed to Overnight Visitors. Due to the pandemic the Monastery is still closed to overnight visitors, and we are still not taking reservations for visits. The monastery is working on a plan and a timetable for reopening, and as soon as there is a change in policy it will be posted here.
Dhamma Talks
English. While there are no group sitting meditations for visitors at the monastery, Ajaan Geoff is still giving Dhamma talks every evening in English, and recordings of them are being uploaded to dhammatalks.org and youtube almost daily.
Please also visit the Friends of Wat Metta Facebook page for Ajaan Geoff’s schedule of Zoom lectures and retreats.
Thai. He is also giving Dhamma talks in Thai a few times a week, and those are being uploaded to dhammatalks.org and youtube as well.
