Meditate with a Monk is back! Phra Pandit, the founder of the Little Bangkok Sangha, will be leading our first post-Covid Monday night meditation on 30 January 2023 at Baan Aree, the beautiful location so generously made available to us by the Baan Aree foundation. As Phra Pandit may be leaving Thailand shortly, this could be your last chance for the immediate future to sit with him in Bangkok.

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. 

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 Basic meditation instruction followed by group meditation
· 7.30 pm Q&A
· 7:50 pm Meditation ends
· 8:00 pm Baan Aree closes
