Upcoming Meditation Retreat

Hello everyone,

From Friday 20th through to Sunday 22nd of January the RMIT Buddhist Society will be holding a mediation retreat. This will be held at our Centre in Ascot Vale, at 39 Sandown Road. The retreat will begin at 9am on Friday morning and finish around 9pm on Sunday evening. A simple daily schedule is followed which includes groups sitting periods, break periods, a session of chi-kung (to help people be physically more comfortable), and a brief morning and evening Dharma talk. We will be taking care of all cooking duties to ensure participants can dedicate as much time to practice as possible. As we have seen over the last couple days the weather can be pretty crazy so bring along suitable clothing. Also bring along your own personal items such as toiletries, toothbrush, towel, etc. If you are vegetarian or have special needs please let us know. You can catch the 57 tram route and get off at stop 31 [Melways page28, H12). Donations are welcomed but not compulsory.

The only prerequisite that Sifu Tim has set is that people have attended in person or listened to a full 6-week introductory Dharma talk series, which can be downloaded from our website (link below). This is to prevent confusion and ensure people know the basic theory before leaping into practice. Its the best way to ensure that people have a retreat that bears fruit of wisdom and compassion as opposed to confusion.
If you wish to attend the retreat, or part thereof, please contact us via this email or on 0417315703 (Steve). Confirmation of attendance is handy as that way we will be able to properly prepare sleeping quarters and food. And likewise, if you need more info just let us know.

Update Complete.

So, we have finally finished changing platforms and updating our website.
Check out the download section for new mantras, ebooks and Dharma talks, which are all available for free. We will continue to add to these on a regular basis. Feel free to notify us if you have any suitable Dharma material that we can add to our lists. Also stay tuned to the events section to keep up to date with our on-going and one-off events.

Take care.

RMIT Buddhist Society.
