Join us for a meditation, reading and discussion class every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm - 8pm. Join by Google Meet or attend the class in person at the Shambhala Center.
Readings and discussions are based on the book, "Welcoming the Unwelcome: Wholehearted Living in a Brokenhearted World", by Pema Chödrön. In her most recent book, Pema Chödrön offers a combination of wisdom, heartfelt reflections, and the signature mix of humor and insight that have made her a beloved figure to turn to during times of change. In an increasingly polarized world, Pema shows us how to strengthen our abilities to find common ground, even when we disagree, and influence our environment in positive ways. Sharing never-before told personal stories from her remarkable life, simple and powerful everyday practices, and directly relatable advice, Pema encourages us all to become triumphant bodhisattvas--compassionate beings--in times of hardship.
You won't need to have your own copy, but if you're joining on Google Meet, it would be good to have it to help you follow along... We'll read aloud together. Join the class by Google Meet (https://meet.google.com/ryj-qvkf-jrt or attend in person at the Shambhala Center.
This is a wonderful opportunity to meditate in a supportive group setting, learn about the principles of meditation, and to meet and mingle with fellow practitioners (bring your friends)! We welcome both newcomers and familiar faces. No previous experience needed. Come to one class, or come every week.
This is a drop-in session. No previous attendance, registration, or fee is required to attend. Suggested Donation 100 Baht (or more). The Bangkok Shambhala Center (which is a Thai non-profit Association) remains open because of the ongoing generosity of our members and program participants.
