The Domes. The local colloquial works as Men's Dome and the “Ladies Dome”. Even within deep TM it is becoming more and more quaint as time goes along the thing of calling it the "Ladies Dome". The progressive element of the meditating community say, the “Womens' Dome”. The more insular old-style strict preservationist-element of the meditating community refer to it still as the “Ladies Dome”, as some matter of cultural tradition either as habit or as they try to enforce it. Times do change though. Usage mostly depends which part of the meditating community you're talking with. Navigating that is part of getting along in the meditating community. Mostly we are all very nice with each other if we happen to be at the same table with each other and we will just dial the dissonance down with each other. The real taliban of the movement don't come to town much. Really there are not too many of them now. Mostly we just run in to the “ladies” thing in their e-mail announcements coming from the middle. -Buck
