More About the Events
Meditation and Inner Growth
Meditation and discussion on inner growth. We try to learn from our meditation and life and grow ourselves to truly live and contribute positively to others.
Inner growth unlocks deep human potential and transforms us. Transforming ourselves transforms our world. Inner growth is the process of realizing and solving our own contradictions, such as why we often create our own suffering despite not wanting it and why we create the things that we do not want in our meditation. Inner growth also involves learning lessons from our daily life, and solving inner causes of life hindrances, especially repeating the same life lessons. Inner growth is also a foundation for true living.
Held on Thursday 7 pm weekly (or 8 pm during summer).
Qigong: Moving Meditation
Add healing energy to meditation practice.
Truly Living
A bi-weekly gathering for talks and discussion on true and wise living. We try to learn from our lives and grow ourselves to contribute positively to others.
Meditation Retreat
The 3rd Saturday of each month is meditation day. The gathering starting 8 AM and ending before noon, including silent meditation and a short discussion at the end. Although gathering ends before noon, participants are encouraged to continue their practice or maintain noble silence until the end of the day.
