Meditation & Discussion Group

Due to covid 19, monastics couldn’t visit different states and universities to conduct mindfulness practice and discussion session. The intention of this special event is to bring all dhamma friends from different states and universities to join for virtual meditation session.

Why should we meditate?

It is the core practice of the Buddha’s teachings. To understand Buddhism, one has to apply its theory into practice and develop experiential wisdom “Bhavanamaya Panna” which helps to witness the impermanent, unsatisfactory and insubstantial nature of life.

Meditation helps to train our mind. It transform our mind from thinking unwholesome thoughts and to cultivate wholesome thoughts such as love, kindness and empathy. If one attempts to purify one’s words and actions without purifying mind, it would not be possible because they are the manifestations of our mind.

Mindfulness practice also helps to develop focus and enables us to distinguish essential and non-essential aspect of our life.

Mindfulness is the way to the Deathless (Nibbana); unmindfulness is the way to Death. Those who are mindful do not die; those who are not mindful are as if already dead. Fully comprehending this, the wise, who are mindful, rejoice in being mindful and find delight in the domain of the Noble Ones (Ariyas). The wise, constantly cultivating Tranquillity and Insight Development Practice, being ever mindful and steadfastly striving, realizes Nibbana, which is free from bondage!
