From 24 to 25 August, over 80 participants, facilitators and volunteers joined the BPS 307 (Certificate in Buddhist Studies) Experiential Learning Camp at Wisdom Park. Having completed 10 lectures which include self-reflection and assignments, participants were ready to learn how they can apply Dhamma practices in a sustained and systematic manner in their everyday lives.
Sessions were conducted by course lecturers Ach. S. Vijaya, Ach. Tan Siang Chye, Bro. Ananda Fong and Sis. R. Paruadi to relate the meaning underlying practices such as mindfulness, chanting and meditation, so participants can undertake them with proper understanding. The group also discussed how they can embed in their lives, the foundational practices of dāna, sīla and bhāvanā (generosity, morality and mental cultivation) which strengthen saddhā (conviction) in the Three Jewels.
We extend our appreciation to the lecturers, facilitators and volunteers for your dedication and support to make this camp a meaningful experience for all participants. We hope that all our BPS 307 participants continue to grow in their Dhamma journey, and also wishing them all the best in their final course assignments and evaluations.
