Dhamma Talk and meditation session

Chakri Day (national holiday)
Chakri Day (national holiday)
2-5pm
at the World Fellowship of Buddhists HQ (next to Emporium, behind Benchasiri Park.)
free of charge and no need for advance reservation
Topic : Sabbasava Sutta
Buddhism talks a lot about ‘letting go’ and ‘just observing’ but that was not the whole of the original teaching. This particular sutta talks about taking affirmative action where it is needed. Sitting with your eyes closed is only one aspect of developing a meditation practise.
Suitable for beginners to meditation and those more experienced.
We will also be focussing on Walking Meditation. We will look at the two approaches to mindfulness while in the walking posture. While most people think of meditation as something to do sitting cross legged, in fact forest monks probably spend more time doing meditation in the walking posture.
(This is in part for the people engaged in the weekly meditation class at the Indus, as there is not enough room there for us to go through walking meditation as a group.)
Pandit Bhikkhu
Pandit Bhikkhu is from England and got involved with Buddhism when he was 21 back in 1990.

He since moved to Bangkok and gained a degree in Buddhist Psychology. Currently he is finishing an MA in Buddhist Studies.
