Meditation to Liberation with Dr. Maechee Chiraporn Khanardnid

You are cordially invited to join us on 23 February 2026, when Dr. Maechee Chiraporn Khanardnid will be leading the Monday night meditation at Baan Aree, the beautiful location so generously made available to us by the Baan Aree foundation.

The session will focus on meeting life as it is, through awareness and meditation. This is a gentle path to understanding and releasing, grounded in the willingness to be present. It invites a way of practicing that gently loosens habits of grasping and resistance. Through sitting and observing, and by meeting life as it unfolds one breath and one moment at a time, it becomes possible to relate to experiences with greater ease, clarity, and openness toward liberation.

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

6:00 pm Baan Aree opens
6:30 pm Start of the session
7:30 pm Q&A

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.
