Little Bangkok Sangha : Meditation group

Zen gives a tremendous importance to the arts. Not only to the arts the Zen is known for, but to all types of arts. Arts connect us to the sacred, to the present moment and to the unknown and are very significant in our daily life.

Zen master Gil Alon will be leading our next Monday night meeting on 28 April 2025 from 06:30 - 8.00 PM Bangkok time at Baan Aree, the beautiful location so generously made available to us by the Baan Aree foundation.

Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice.

Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please wear something that is comfortable to sit in, and avoid tight-fitting clothes, shorts, sleeveless tops, and short skirts. There may not be sufficient drinking water on site, therefore you may bring your own water in a closed container. No other food/drinks are allowed in the main room.

As is usual with Buddhist teachings, there is no charge for this event. However, the Little Bangkok Sangha follows the Buddhist custom of Dana (generosity). The teachings and the venue are offered as an act of generosity, and those receiving them can, if they wish, reciprocate by making donations. These go towards the teacher’s and venue's costs. Boxes for Dana will be provided.

Programme:
· 6:00 pm Baan Aree opens
· 6:30 pm Dhamma talk
· 7:15 pm Q&A
· 7:45 pm Session ends
· 8:00 pm Baan Aree closes
