NTUBS Meditation Class III: Contemplation of Feeling

Come and join our last meditation class this year which will touch on meditation by using contemplation of feelings. Through this different type of meditation, we hope to learn how to be more objective in judging our feelings and more be aware of the impermanence of those feelings.

Date: 25th March 2013 (Monday)
Time: 7.15-9.30 pm
Venue: Tutorial Room 100 (South Spine)

Conductor: Venerable Chuan Guan was born into a Buddhist family in Singapore and graduated from NTU with a degree in Computer Engineering. He was ordained in 2002 (higher Bhikshu ordination in 2003) and stayed in Fa Yun Monastery (New Mexico, United States) learning the sutras and practiced meditation under the Mahayana Buddhist tradition while studying the Theravadin Pali Canon. Returning back to Singapore in 2006, he is currently residing in The Buddhist Library, while giving Dharma classes and meditation classes. Venerable Chuan Guan is also the spiritual advisor to the NTU Buddhist Society and in this year, he had conducted a series of talks for NTUBS members during NTUBS Dharma Camp 2013. Venerable Chuan Guan was also the conductor of our NTUBS Dharma Class VIII and IX.

Should you have any doubts or enquiries, you can contact Benny (Dharma Propagation Director) at ntubs-dharma@ntu.edu.sg or 84342310.

 

NTUBS Dharma Class X: "The Buddha"

The historical Buddha is far more fascinating than the one told by Buddhist myth makers. He was born into the lap of luxury, was prepared all his life for leadership of his tribe, had a beautiful young family, but gave everything up for a spiritual path fraught with uncertainties and difficulties. He succeeded against all odds and founded a method of practice that bring peace and happiness for any sincere practitioner everywhere and for all time. 

Our last Dharma Class this year will cover who was the Buddha: his life and his achievements. Through this class, we will gain new insights about the journey Buddha had gone through, and hopefully be able to apply the lesson learnt in our daily life.

Besides, there will also be a Dharma Quiz before the class starts!

Date: 22nd March 2013 (Friday)
Time: 6.45-9.30 pm (Dharma Class starts at 7.30pm)
Venue: Nanyang House, Seminar Room 1
Speaker: Sis. Sylvia Bay
has nine years of formal education in Buddhism and holds a BA (Hons) in Buddhist Studies from Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka. Besides, she also holds a Master Degree in International Public Policy. She has been teaching Dharma for 9 years at Mangala Vihara. She is known as an inspiring and captivating speaker that gives regular Dhamma talks at various Buddhist organisations in Singapore such as Buddhist Fellowship.
