Meditation classes
LIVING WITH MEANING & HOPE | THURSDAYS 14, 21 & 28 AUGUST AT 11AM
We live in a distracted world and we can easily lose track of what’s really important, what really matters. We sometimes even feel helpless and without hope.
Through spiritual practice and meditation, we can gain new beneficial perspectives that bring peace into our mind. We can uncover new truths that open doors to greater meaning and purpose in our lives. These can help us to move forward with confidence in our ability to live and enjoy a peaceful meaningful life and help others in the same way.
Come along to any of these classes and grow your peace of mind. No need to book, just turn up.
HAPPINESS TOOL KIT | SUNDAY 17th AUGUST AT 10.30AM
Life is challenging. We need to equip our mind with a happiness tool kit so that we can remain happy regardless of what life throws at us. In this class we learn how to accomplish this through training in meditation as well as practising in daily life.
No need to book, just come along.
MEDITATION ON LOVE – WEDNESDAYS 20 & 27 AUGUST AT 7.15PM
Love is the great protector. In this world that is full of suffering and pain, we need to protect our mind from negativity so that we can bring positive transformation to the suffering world. What we need is love.
No need to book, just come along.
WORLD PEACE STARTS HERE – SUNDAY 31ST AUGUST
Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.
Prayers for World Peace is a free meditation class that gives us the opportunity to develop a warm and loving heart. The class includes a Dharma talk and beautiful prayers to Buddha Avalokiteshvara.
No need to book, just come along.
RETREATS
This retreat combines the practices of Guru Yoga, which is the gateway to receiving blessings, and mandala offerings, which is the gateway to accumulating merit. It is a special practice that enables us to strengthen our connection with our Spiritual Guide, through chanted prayers, offerings and meditation.
What is Guru Yoga? ‘Guru’ is a Sanskrit word meaning Spiritual Guide. Guru Yoga is a special way of relating to our own spiritual teacher that enables us to receive the blessings of all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and holy beings.
What is a mandala offering? In this context, the mandala is the entire universe visualized as completely pure and offered to all Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and holy beings. When we offer the mandala we imagine we are offering the entire universe in our hands. Geshe-la says: “Making mandala offerings is the best method to free us from future poverty and to enable us to obtain future rebirth in a Pure Land.”
The practice is accomplished within the sadhana Offering to the Spiritual Guide. The retreat is unguided and you can attend any of the sessions. Please bring your mandala kit if you have one.
Weekly fee: RM96; per session fee: RM6
