A new experience for new Buddhists

On 1 to 2 October, 60 participants and volunteers of the recently completed courses – BPS 104 Buddhist Studies in Mandarin and Svagatam Inspiring Programme joined a two-day retreat at Wisdom Park to deepen their Dhamma learning and experience aspects of the Buddhist way of life.

In the Dhamma talks, Sis. Nandini Tan shared the importance of cultivating generosity (dāna), morality (sīla) and development of the mind (bhāvanā) as the foundation for a wholesome life.  She also expounded on how the support of good spiritual friends and an attitude of gratitude towards those around us, eases our journey to cultivate our mind.

We rejoice in the spirit of learning and service of the participants as well as volunteers in this joyful retreat.  Let us together progress in Dhamma for our well-being and the happiness of many beings.
