Mettathon 2021 - May Full Moon “Wesak Day”
Later this month on Wednesday 26th May 2021 will be Wesak Day ( Buddha's Enlightenment day ) and we will be hosting an all night Mettathon ( Loving Kindness meditation ) during this night. Many of us will sit together through the whole night from 6pm until 6am (UK time) in an unbroken meditation vigil. This is our annual event where we can come and meditate together. I hope many of you will feel to join. The idea is to try to sit at least once during each of the four watches of the night.
The times are (UK times) :
6pm till 9pm
9pm till 12pm
12pm till 3am
3am till 6am
In order to keep un unbroken vigil we ask any of you who would like to participate to commit in advance to certain time slots so that we know that our group effort is continuous. We will send an email asking for these times closer to the event.
Some of us are raising sponsorship for our efforts that evening and all the proceeds will go to supporting our orphanages in Burma. You can see the photos from our last round of donation and the tremendous amount of relief it brought below.
Please don't feel it is necessary to raise money in order to participate. We will have a donation page open through the night and of course on the live stream on YouTube.
I will run the vigil as a continuous 12 hour Live Radio Show on YouTube and there will be a non-stop stream of guided meditations for you to follow regardless of what time you chose to tune in. The full list will be published a couple of days ahead of the event along with the YouTube live link.
For now please mark the date in your diaries and be sure to get a good nights sleep the night before.
Pleas ask any questions on our dedicated telegram group... Wesak Mattathon 2021 (coming soon). We will keep you all updated through that.
Looking forward to sitting with you all on the night.
With love
Burgs
