Lakeside Buddha Sangha meets every Sunday evening from 7 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. at the First Congregational Church in Evanston, Illinois. The church is located near the corner of Hinman and Lake Streets. Parking is available on the street.
The doors are open at 6:50 p.m. Participants are encouraged to come early to assist in helping to set up cushions in the meditation area.
Participants should enter, using the blue door, on the south side of the building. This leads to the basement, which is handicap-accessible with a stairway lift system.
Formal meditation begins promptly at 7:15 p.m. Participants are encouraged to arrive on time because of a building alarm system that goes into effect once the doors are shut.
