The current COVID-19 outbreak has taught a lasting lesson to all of us about the impermanence of life. As per the Lord Buddha’s teaching in Maha Sathi Patthana Sutta, ‘Ekayano Ayan Bhikkave Maggo..’, the only way to get rid of suffering is by practising the four folds of mindfulness.
This is in addition to the ongoing Monthly Sil program on Full Moon Poya Day.
We and Retreats WA invite Venerable Theroes who are well-known meditation masters in Sri Lanka and in other countries to join online to guide us and conduct the sessions throughout the day.
The Month of April meditation programs has been scheduled on:
Saturday, 2nd April from 8.00 am to 5.30 pm
No previous meditation experience is required to attend the program.
Experienced Venerable Theroes will guide you during the program.
If you already practise meditation or not and need advice from an experienced Thero or if you have any questions related to Dhamma Deshana, kindly send your questions to the email address below or send via ZOOM to share with the respective Thero. During the last session, we have received very useful questions which had been answered.
