MEDITATION GUIDANCE AND STUDY FOR ADULTS

Although it is a newly established Vietnamese temple in Sri Lanka, Venerable Phap Quang always dedicates time to propagating the Dharma. Starting with a few participants in June 2022, Truc Lam Zen Monastery now regularly holds a one-day mindfulness meditation retreat for adults every Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM. Before the retreat begins, Buddhists perform flower offering ceremonies, worship the Three Jewels, and recite the Three Refuges and Five Precepts. This is followed by an hour of sitting meditation and 30 minutes of walking meditation. After lunch, the Venerable answers questions and gives Dharma talks to everyone. The retreat has grown due to the maintenance of silence and the restriction of mobile phone use during the practice period.

Each week, people look forward to joining the one-day mindfulness meditation retreat at Truc Lam Zen Monastery on Sundays. Through the meditation practice, many people have transformed significantly, becoming less irritable within their families, leading happier lives, and caring for their body and mind.

Helping meditators maintain mindfulness is an immeasurable virtue.

The monastery gratefully accepts any donations you can offer.

Donating food for the Sunday meditation retreat costs 3.8 million VND, equivalent to 46 thousand rupees.
