What we’re about
Hi - welcome to our Little Bangkok Sangha.
Upcoming events (1)
See all- Dharma Talk and Meditation with Phra Pandit Bhikkhuมูลนิธิบ้านอารีย์ (Baan Aree Foundation), Khet Phaya Thai
## Details
TO DWELL INDEPENDENT!
In the key teaching on mindfulness meditation the Buddha concludes each of the 4 sections with the words:- "and so he dwells independent, having put aside desire and aversion for the world"
This is what mindfulness actually aimed at - not just 'being mindful' of thoughts and feelings. This is how one 'disentangles'
Speaker:
Venerable Pandit has been an ordained Buddhist monk in Thailand since 1996. He has a degree in Psychology and a MA in Buddhist Studies. His focus is on early Buddhist teachings, enlightenment traditions, story and fairy tales, and psychology - all from the perspective of a real meditation practice. Expect clear and precise delivery, and a little humour!
Inviting:
Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice. If you are a beginner, some instructions will be given; experienced meditators can develop their own practice.
Venue:
Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please wear something that is comfortable and modest. It is very close to Ari BTS Station.

Enter through the passage between EXIM building and the gas station. (Baan Aree is also the home of Kid Mai Death Awareness Cafe - so you can also follow directions for that on G Maps)
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.
