which is not knowing how to sit quietly in a room.”

Time flies! Year of the Monkey is coming. Has the state of your mind been like the “monkey mind”?
Would you like to purify your mind from “monkey mind” to “Buddha Mind”?
During this session, let us come together and “spring clean” our mind through Dharma sharing, chanting and meditation.
Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on the floor.
We look forward to your loving presence.

It is stated in the Surangama Sutra that in the times of degeneration, there is an overwhelming existence of deviant teachers, likened to the number of sands in the Ganges River.
How do we discern the difference between Buddhism and pseudo-Buddhism in the degeneration period where demonic forces supersede benign forces?
We shall explain and elaborate how one can differentiate between rightful and unrightful Buddhistic teachings and principles, leading one back to the original teachings of Gautama Buddha.
We look forward to your loving presence.
Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on the floor.

The Four Immeasurables (Pali: Brahmaviharas) are a series of four Buddhist virtues that are highly regarded by Buddhists as powerful antidotes to negative mental states. They are:
1. Loving-Kindness (Pali: Metta)
2. Compassion (Pali: Karuna)
3. Appreciative Joy (Pali: Mudita)
4. Equanimity (Pali: Upekkha)
As a start to Year 2016, it will be very meaningful and auspicious to come together to meditate on and radiate these four sublime states to all beings in the world.
We look forward to your loving presence.
Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on thefloor.
