Weekly Meditation
Program Come and experience peace in yourself! Meditation is a way to know the mind, to cultivate
the mind, and to free the mind. It is a practice to relieve stress, to achieve
happiness. In our weekly meditation
program, we practice sitting, walking meditation and relaxation exercise. The
program is concluded by a brief discussion.
Our vision is to offer our
peaceful settings to organize a meditation group to support one another in the
practice. All programs are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners. Open to the public. The cost is subject to free donation. We suggest
$5.00/person for each program to help us to cover our cost to carry on our
service. Please wear loose and comfortable clothing
that is suitable for sitting.
