A group of people are sitting in lotus position on mats in a large white dome, listening to two Buddhist monks at the head of the room. The dome is decorated with white fabric draping from the center, with a long red banner hanging vertically. Behind the monks, on a red-covered table, is a decorated altar with flowers and candles. Two large framed images of Buddhist figures flank the table. One of the monks is standing and reading, while the other sits in front of the altar. A man stands to the side, also reading. The room has a calm and spiritual atmosphere. Some attendees are adjusting their positions.
