Cancellation of Dhamma Talk
Please be kindly informed that we are going to cancel the upcoming Dhamma talk on Sunday, March 17, 2019 as our Venerable U Sanda is out of town.
We, however, will have a day retreat on Sunday, March 31, 2019 as usual. So far, we have no lunch donor and therefore, most likely all yogis bring their favourite dish to share with others.

Summery of Kathina Celebrations – October 28, 2018
There are five opportunities that the monks can enjoy: they are
- An opportunity to go round without informing other monks;
- An opportunity to go round without carrying the heavy double-layered robe;
- An opportunity to eat group meal even though it is accepted in an improper way;
- An opportunity to use or keep extra robes; and
- An opportunity not to share the robes of Sangha’s property with other monks who do not participate in the Kahtina (Kathina).
In return, the lay-donors of the Kahtina (Kathina) robe to the monks can get the following five corresponding benefits:
- An opportunity that they can go round anywhere without have disturbance and danger;
- An opportunity that their belongings will not be destroyed by enemies even when the belongings are away from them;
- An opportunity that they will have plenty of sumptuous food and will not have poisonous food;
- An opportunity that their property will be kept safe even though being left forgotten for a long time; and
- An opportunity that they will gain greater profits than others on their commercial activities and even winning lottery.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Summary of Dhamma Talk, September 16, 2018
A good teacher is the one who wants her/his students prosperous and shows the right way when they are heading towards a wrong way. S/he might be sometimes harsh in her/his words and tones when showing the right way but s/he has always the best interest in them. Parents are also the first teachers to their child. So, the teacher and the parent are regarded as someone who gives us invaluable treasure. One can be prosperous with the guidance of a good teacher. We should be the one who cherishes and re-pay the enormous gratitude of our teachers and parents. We should not be the one who acts against them.
Sadhu! Sadhu!
