Common Grounds Seminar (Slides for Today Available)
Dear friends,
Below is a pdf of the slides presented by myself on Buddhist Meditation today during the Common Grounds seminar at Catholic Junior College.
Sr. Theresa and Sr. Dewina are trying get it printed out if possible for participants without internet access.

Note about the booklet given.
On page 40 and 41, the passages under “A Reading from the Dhammapada” and “A Reading from the Heart Sutra” was provided by other parties. The readings from the heart sutra is unfortunately wrongly placed. They are not from the Heart Sutra. I’m trying to determine the source of these verses with Sr Theresa and Daulet. Below is a translation and explaination notes that I prepared for a series of workshops on the Heart Sutra for your reading.

One Minute Meditation
An interesting video on meditation for one-minute.
This reminds me of a fellow venerable from Indonesia who raised this idea to me back in 2007.
“If you can meditate and be mindful for just one minute, then just repeat that 60 times, and you have meditated for an hour!”
nBut let’s not get ahead of ourselves, let’s start with the minute! 😉
