Please note that no breakfasts or dinners will be served at the camp. There are diners and restaurants serving breakfasts and dinners within both walking- and short-driving distance (a couple are open 24 hours). All lunches served are vegetarian meals.
On Friday evening, please come to 2F of the Education (ED) building for orientation.
The driveway into the campus on Walnut Grove Drive diverges into two paths; take the one on the right and drive into the parking lot (the one to the left will take you to the dormitory). There are two buildings to your left as you drive into the parking lot. The one further down is the ED building. Alternatively, virtually any student or staff on campus will be able to point you to it).
On still another note about the meditation camp:
The services provided by the lead teacher for the meditation camp is freely offered in the spirit of Dhamma and generosity. He only receives nominal compensation from the university for the expenditures incurred from his travel (the camp fee goes primarily to the use of university facility). Traditionally, the gift of Dhamma is considered invaluable--that is, it cannot be calculated in monetary terms and is esteemed as beyond the worth of any material gift. The practice of generosity as directed to meditation teachers is especially praised. If you'd like to give donations to the lead teacher, as a token of appreciation for his time and effort, it would be appreciated. It is suggested that the donations be placed within an envelope, and offered to the teacher in person.
