To ensure the quality of practice the group requests:

1. Everyone to participate in the respectful and committed way as one attending Dharma event in person. Focus on practice and not engage in anything other than with the group practice. 
2. Switch video on the whole time and make sure the light and your position is right so we could see you clearly.
