Traditional morning, noon and evening ceremonies are performed daily. Sutra recitation, meditation, bowing in repentance, mantra chanting and talks on the Dharma happen throughout the week. 

At GCDR we follow the "Five Schools" of the Mahayana.  These include the following :
*Vinaya school: the practice of precepts, moral rules
*Chan School: the practice of meditation
* Scholastic School: the study of the Sutras, 
* Esoteric or "Secret School": recitation of mantras 
* Pure Land School: recitation of the Buddha's name 



Individual meditation practice in Blessings House is open for meditation
between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm Mon-Fri
