This list was created by Upasika (lay supporters) of Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery in Redwood Valley, California. The list's foremost purpose is to disseminate information about the activities of Abhayagiri Monastery. Secondly, it is a forum to facilitate lay support for the monastery and affiliated groups such as the Upasika program, First Tuesday Sitting Group, etc. For more information about Abhayagiri, please visit www.abhayagiri.org.
