We are very happy to invite Marcin Baranski to Hong Kong for the first time next month. Marcin has been practicing Buddhism for 20 years and has been teaching since 2001. He is the vice president of the Buddhist Association in Poland since 2007, and is a keen horse rider and traditional fencer.

The program for the weekend will include an opening lecture on Friday evening at 7pm, meditation sessions, and further talks. In summary, the course will explore some of the central teachings of Buddhism and provide practical advice on how one can use the teachings, methods and meditations in everyday life situations to bring fearlessness, joy and compassion into our lives.

Starting with a talk on Friday evening, he will give an overview of Buddhist teachings and their relevance in our modern societies, before moving ever deeper into the core subject. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and take part in guided meditations throughout the weekend course.
