Sunday, 14th June, 8pm AEST
Recitation of the 5 Mindfulness Trainings

Please join Tony, Jan and Ling for another beautiful '5 Mindfulness Trainings' recitation.

​

As Thay has shared, "The Five Mindfulness Trainings have their root in the Five Precepts offered by the Buddha. They have been expanded and updated so that they represent a way to bring mindfulness into every area of life. Rather than hard and fast rules, they offer us a framework to reflect on our actions, speech and thinking so we can create more happiness for ourself and for the world around us".

Our theme for June 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: verse 4
That is why in Emptiness
Body, Feelings, Perceptions
Mental Formations and Consciousness
Are not separate self entities.

Signlessness:
Now signlessness is introduced with emptiness. We mustn’t forget that these three Doors of Liberation inter-are. So, even when there is signlessness there is still emptiness. Signlessness doesn’t mean that there are no signs, but that we try not to be caught by their appearance.
