We’re starting a regular weekend meditation practice session on Saturday at 11am. Each and every week, we will meet together to continue with our personal meditation practice whether it is the 16th Karmapa meditation, Refuge meditation, Ngondro practices, etc.

The idea behind the day is to give each other some support and a friendly push to continue with our own practice. The day is useful for those who want to know more about integrating meditation practice in their daily lives and have the opportunity to meditate with others in a group setting.

All are welcome to attend and it is free to come. 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.

Hope to see you there!

Please join us for meditation every day at 8pm for the rest of the month – its time for March Meditation Madness!

We will be practising the 16th Karmapa Meditation  – the methods employed in this meditation have been used in Buddhism since the time of the Buddha 2,500 year ago. Focused on fully developing the human potential, the meditation brings about lasting results for those who not only want to learn about their minds, but have a direct experience of it. The meditation will always be preceeded by a short talk from one of the members of the centre – so if you are new to Buddhism, it is an ideal place to start. Our address is:

Unit 3, 2nd Floor,
3-5 Jervois Street,
Sheung Wan,

* Our centre is conveniently located in a quiet street in the Central / Sheung Wan area, a short walk from either MTR station. There are various bus routes that run up and down either Queen’s Road Central or Des Voeux Road Central, and we are also very close to the tram.

We are very pleased to announce that Julianne Ferenczy will be visiting Hong Kong later this month and giving a public talk on “Turning Emotions into Wisdom” on Monday 29 November, at 7.30pm. Julianne will present how one can integrate Buddhist teachings and meditation into our every day lives, providing the tools we need to transform the emotional ups and downs we experience into a state of awareness and joy. As our disturbing feelings dissolve, we are able to experience the true nature of mind more and more: a state of space and bliss inseparable.

* The Regency Centre has two entrances: the main entrance is on Wong Chuk Hang Road and the other entrance is via the loading bay at the back entrance on Yip Kan Street (it is easier for taxis to drop you off at the loading bay entrance as there are double yellow lines at the front of the building). Buses from central include the 75 and 90 (both from Exchange Square bus terminal). There are many other buses and minibuses that drive along Wong Chuk Hang Road (e.g. from Stanley, Causeway Bay, Pokfulam, etc). Guest parking is also available via the loading bay entrance.

Please join us for a special Wednesday evening meditation session on 1 September, as Michael Fuchs will give a talk about this central topic of Diamond Way Buddhism. According to the highest level of Buddha’s teachings, the teacher  is so important because we see him or her not as a person or god but as a mirror to one’s own potential. Showing us our timeless nature with countless skillful means, here the teacher actually represents the Buddha. For more information, please take a look at this article by Lama Ole Nydahl.

The evening will start as usual at 8.15pm at Studio on Queen’s (2F, 55 Queen’s Road Central (Entrance on Li Yuen St. West), Central) *

There will be a chance to ask questions and take part in a guided meditation.

We look forward to seeing you there.
