Free-style Meditation
Monday evenings …
For 8 weeks starting Monday June 6th we will be holding weekly meditation at a new venue near Asoke Junction (which is on both BTS and MRT lines). Meditation will be led by Phra Pandit – British monk for 15 years, and organsier of Little Bangkok Sangha.
After Monday July 25th, we will continue Monday meetings, but at Sukhmvit 24 for the annual Rains retreat talks and meditation.
We will meet just for meditation. All people are welcome to join and sit together, as well as meet some of the other friendly yoga/meditation folk in Bangkok. You can be from any lineage of meditation, it doesn’t matter. You are welcome to continue with your own system.
For any beginners if you come a little early you can get some basic meditation instructions and pointers before the session.
Timing :
Meet 6:15 ish at the venue
6:55-7:35 silent meditation followed by brief Metta (living kindness) meditaion
7:45 finish (feel free to join some of the other yogis for dinner or coffee in town)
No need to book in advance. There is no charge for these meetings.
Venue
The place is a few minutes walk from Asoke: Go to Asoke BTS (aka Skytrain) station, or Asoke MRT station. Walk along Sukhumvit to Soi 18. Immediately on the right as you enter the soi is a right turn behind the 7-eleven, towards a big apartment block – we will be in a shop at the base of the apartment block.
Venue is less than 300 meters from Asoke BTS
There is paid parking in the big mall on the opposite side of Sukhumvit – but the traffic is pretty heavy at this time of day.

Yes, Soi 18.
Soi 25 will be after July 25th (hopefully)
I suppose this is soi 18 and not 25??
hmm..it seems that I need to participate
Good news
Starting Monday 4 June ? Barring the misprinting of my calendar or turbulence in my visual perception, it would seem it was meant Monday 6 June…or is it Saturday 4 June ? Kindly confirm.
Thanks for pointing out the error. Will be from Monday June 6th (I was looking at July by mistake).
Very good news. I am looking forward to get to know you. I would like to emphasise what Savior said, though: Will it be Monday, 6 or Saturday, 4?
Phra Pandit! Thank you for the extensive work at locating a venue for this very important piece of Little Bangkok Sangha practice… your dedication to us english language folks and biligual Thais is priceless! see ya tonite (yes, I and Rubby survived Burma Pilgrimage!)
Cool. I did not know you went with Rubby to Burma.
At the location on the map above, namely, Asoke Junction, on the corner of Sukhumvit 18.
On Monday 8th August, we move location to Sukhumvit 24 for this year’s dhamma talk series.
Thank you!
Meditation on Monday 1 August is at which location?
Sorry – it did say above Soi 25 – I have now corrected it to Soi 24, which is the proper information. All the details, including map/directions, is on the post here: http://littlebang.org/2011/07/08/2011-talk-series-the-dance-of-emptiness/
Thank you for organizing of the various events. Can you pls tell me the venue in soi 25 for the Meditation. thanks Silvia
