Island-wide Dharma Activities!

 

Hey everyone, this year at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, as part of the annual Vesak celebration, there will be a special video showcasing the various activities in KMSPKS and … wait for it … the activities of various Buddhist temples, monasteries and centres from across the island!

You see, when hundreds and thousands of Buddhists come to KMSPKS to participate in the annual Vesak celebration such as the Buddha-Bathing practice, Three-Step-One-Bow practice, Dharma talks etc, many come from all over the island.

While many may stay near to KMSPKS, many others may stay relatively far from the monastery.  Instead of just sharing the Dharma activities found in KMSPKS, we thought, why not share with everyone the exciting lineup of Dharma activities found throughout the island?

This way, my friend, we hope to link you up with the Dharma activities nearest to your home, so that everyone may be able to learn and practise the Dharma wherever we are!

Send me a message today for more information on this special project and more!

Coming Soon

Dharma Talk: No-Self in Buddhism and Our Daily Lives @ PMT.1930~2130.Sat 31 Mar 2012

The teaching on “No-self”, anatta, is uniquely found in the Buddha’s teaching.  The Buddha discovered that in the midst of our lives, there is no “I” that exist.  But yet, our conventional language and our own experience says otherwise.  If there is no-self, then who is reading this very line?

The talk and sharing will focus on two aspects:

  1. What is “No-self” and how it is evident in our life.
  2. The impact or implication of this in our life.

In the discussion that ensues, we will also explore together how our usual “self-ful” mode of relating to people around us has shaped our lives so far.

This Dharma talk will require attendees to talk as well.  So come learn and share together. 🙂
