You are cordially invited to join us on 20 April 2026, when Phra Kru Medhankorn will be leading the Monday night meditation at Baan Aree, the beautiful location so generously made available to us by the Baan Aree foundation.
This session will focus on the Theravada Book of Death, a conceptual framework from the Gilanadhamma Volunteer Group, explores how to turn ancient teachings into simple, heartfelt care. This session introduces initial ideas for a project dedicated to helping patients find peace, while providing a roadmap for caregivers to prepare their own hearts for life’s final transition.
Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice.
Programme:
6:00 pm Baan Aree opens
6:30 pm Start of the session
7:30 pm Q&A
7:50 pm Session ends
8:00 pm Baan Aree closes
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 costs of the speaker and the costs of organizing meetings. Boxes for Dana will be provided.
Phra Kru Medhankorn ordained in 2007. He received a M.A. Buddhist studies from Mahachulalongkornrajvidayalaya (MCU) in 2011. His interests are in holistic care and public well-being, Buddhist psychology, Buddhist gamification and e-learning and insight meditation.
We plan a live broadcast of this talk – it doesn't always work, but we do our best — on our Facebook group and the Baan Aree YouTube channel:
