We are pleased to announce our first public talks of the Autumn this October. We’re very lucky that Rosi Fischer, a Buddhist teacher from Germany, will lead a 2-day course on “Meditation in Daily Life” during the evenings of Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st October.

About the course

The Buddha taught many methods for skillfully working with mind. Among these, meditation techniques are very important and have several aims: they free us from disturbing emotions; help us to realise the dreamlike nature of our experience (while strengthening our compassionate ability to help others to do the same); and allow us to recognise the timeless and perfect potential of mind.

This short series of talks will give an overview of the types of Buddhist meditation, focussing in particular on how these methods can be used in our daily lives, and will include guided Diamond Way Buddhist meditations. There will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. You don’t have to come to all the sessions to attend. All are welcome!

About the speaker

Rosi Fischer is a very experienced international Buddhist teacher from the West and it is great pleasure to have her visit us in Hong Kong after a month-long teaching tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Cost

HK$60 / HK$30 concessions (for each session)

Dates / Times

Tuesday 20th October at 8.15pm and Wednesday 21st October at 8.15pm

The entrance to the studio is on Li Yuen St. West (opposite H&M).

We will have a meditation practice day on Saturday 3rd October at our centre on Lantau Island. Whether you are completely new to Buddhism or already practising the Ngondro (four foundational practices), you are very welcome to join us.

There will be three meditation sessions, starting at 10am, 2pm and 5pm – you don’t need to attend them all, but everyone is welcome to do so. To round things off, we’ll have dinner together in the garden at the end of the day (weather permitting!).

If you need instructions on starting a particular meditation practice, we’ll also have time for explanations. Just let us know if you’d like to come.

The address is Ming Garden, 1 San Shek Wan, Lantau – the easiest way to get here is to either take the ferry to Mui Wo from Central pier 6, or take the MTR to Tung Chung. From Mui Wo take either bus no 1, 3M or 4 to San Shek Wan. From Tung Chung, take the bus 3M to San Shek Wan. Ask the driver to let you know when you arrive here if you’re unsure. Otherwise, you can take a blue Lantau taxi from either Mui Wo (approx HK$40) or Tung Chung (approx HK$80). You can find a map here.

Weekly Meditation in May moved to Thursdays

As we mentioned last month, our regular meditation evenings have been going well at the new location on Queen’s Road Central. Unfortunately, the studio mixed up some dates regarding our booking and we are having to change to meet on Thursday evenings during the month of May. From June onwards, we will be back to meeting on our regular Wednesday evening slot, and we’ll send another update at the time to remind everyone. Apologies for all the confusion and inconvenience caused.

So, starting next week, Thursday 7 May, our regular weekly meditations will take place on Thursdays for May only at 8.15pm at Studio on Queens. **

Our regular meditation evenings have been going well at the new location on Queen’s Road Central. Unfortunately, the studio mixed up some dates regarding our booking and we are having to change to meet on Tuesday evenings during the month of April.
