Students in the advanced Class (Theory and Practice of Meditation) observe the Ajiva Attamaka Sila prior to meditation and the Dhamma talk. Blessing are chanted after meditation. Emphasis is on taking refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha by striving towards developing the qualities of the Buddha within ourselves, incorporating the Dhamma in our daily life and respecting the Sangha by following their example and providing requisites. The offerings (puja) has been simplified so as to encourage respect and honouring of the Buddha through the practice.
