KNOW YOURSELF: SEE YOURSELF - Thai Abbot on practical meditation

Ven. Vimokkha, abbot of Wat Pipphalivanaram in Rural Rayong will lead the session. While there are many meditation methods, the goal really is to 'know yourself' - this is not philosophical though; it is a dynamic meditation method that can and will change your life if you can find the way to it.
Focus will be on practical guides for making this a daily practice.

This event is in English language only.

Venue:
Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please wear something that is comfortable and modest. It is very close to Ari BTS Station.

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, support with a donation. These go towards the teacher’s and venue's costs.
