update – about 130 people are booked in so far, coming from Malaysia, Singapore, Nepal, and Mahaculalongkorn University in Thailand. When I get information on how to register or any costs involved it will be posted up on this blog

Rationale

How does meditation support your life management? This question has been regularly raised at seminars on meditation techniques in Thailand and Malaysia. The answers will be given by International faces who have incorporated meditation in their lives with good results.

Using meditation in real life experiences requires both peacefulness, and wisdom. The guest speakers will answer according to their individual experiences how they have incorporated the teachings in managing Dukkha (suffering), through meditation, making room for  happiness.

To share experiences on the Dhamma practice is meritorious in the Buddhist tradition as it brings people together for the sake of dhamma and spiritual development. This particular time is also the auspicious occasion dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen of Thailand.

Lecturers
English language speakers from Thailand and ASEAN countries

  1. Is it still open? I saw on the application form that it needed to be returned by July 15…

  2. There’s an application form??? I did not see it.
    Yes basically, this being Thailand, information is not of premium quality. I peiced together what I could. The room is pleny large enough so there is no issue of space. Also the trip to Rayong has no space limit. But it should be a good idea to call or email ahead so they know how much food to prepare
