We will have a meditation practice day on Saturday 18 September April at our centre in Wong Chuk Hang * (near Aberdeen on HK Island). Whether you are completely new to Buddhism or already practising the Ngondro (four foundational practices), you are very welcome to join us and it is free to come.

The centre will be open between 10am and 6pm – you can come along whenever you are able to during the day, and stay for as long (or short) as you want. If you need instructions on starting a particular meditation practice, we’ll also have time for explanations.

In Buddhism, meditation means “effortlessly remaining in what is.” This state may be brought about by calming and holding the mind, by realizing compassion and wisdom, or by working with the body’s energy channels and meditating on Buddha forms of light and energy. The most effective methods are the constant identification with one’s own potential to be a Buddha and experiencing the richness of every situation in life; both of which are taught in the Diamond Way. When one understand that the seer, what is seen, and the act of seeing are not separate from each other, the goal has been reached.

Best wishes and hope to see you there!
