Balancing the “Inner World” with the “Outer World” with Jeff Oliver

You are cordially invited to join us on 19 August 2024, when Jeff Oliver will be leading the Monday night session at Baan Aree, the beautiful location so generously made available to us by the Baan Aree foundation.

We have our “inner world” of thoughts and emotions and we have our “Outer world” of people, places, politics, “The Matrix”. Let’s learn how to understand both of these aspects of our life, and create a balance and harmony within ourselves and the world around us.

Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice. If you are a beginner, some instructions will be given; experienced meditators can develop their own practice.

Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please wear something that is comfortable to sit in, and avoid tight-fitting clothes, shorts, sleeveless tops, and short skirts. There may not be sufficient drinking water on site, therefore you may bring your own water in a closed container. No other food/drinks are allowed in the main room.

As is usual with Buddhist teachings, there is no charge for this event. However, the Little Bangkok Sangha follows the Buddhist custom of Dana (generosity). The teachings and the venue are offered as an act of generosity, and those receiving them can, if they wish, reciprocate by making donations. These go towards the teacher’s and venue’s costs. Boxes for Dana will be provided.

Programme:
6:00 pm Baan Aree opens
6:30 pm Guided meditation
6:50 pm Dhamma talk
7:30 pm Q&A
7:50 pm Session ends
8:00 pm Baan Aree closes
