Weekdays 21.00 PM to 21.45 PM Bangkok Time

 

As people have responded to the conditions created by the Covid-19 virus, many wonderful opportunities to meditate with larger, online communities lead by very experienced teachers have sprung up.

 

One of these is the regular weekday meditations being offered by Gil Fronsdal, the founder and a co-guiding teacher at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California and the Insight Retreat Center in Santa Cruz, California.

 

Every evening—Monday through to Friday—Gil is offering a partially guided half hour sit live on Youtube, followed by a 15 minute dhamma talk. Gil is an excellent teacher of both meditation and the Dhamma, so while the Little Bangkok Sangha is unable to meet, we would like to encourage you to continue your Monday night meditation practice (and maybe other nights too) with Gil.

 

Schedule

Monday to Friday

Donations

These talks are offered free of charge, but the Insight Meditation Center is dependent on dana (the Pali word for generosity), so any donations you can make online (see link above) will be well used.
