Teachers from Sancta Maria Catholic College Joins Meditation Class at the Temple – Take Ownership of Oneself

01 / 04


Wishing to improve the meditation knowledge of Sancta Maria Catholic College’s teachers, they enrolled in a series of meditation classes at the temple running from February to March. The first class started on 23rd February and was attended by 11 teachers, who followed the instructions of Venerable Miaoyu, who is responsible for the temple’s English Community Education programs.

The day’s class included outdoor walking meditation, indoor walking meditation, sitting meditation, teachings from the Venerable and group discussion. Through meditation, everyone was able to relieve themselves of the built up of stress from the week’s busy work and subsequently enter the tranquil, peaceful and liberating state of Ch’an for body and mind.

During the second class on 2nd March, teachers expressed they really like the temple’s tranquil atmosphere and they are really appreciative of the temple for giving this condition, for they can immediately experience the relaxing effects as soon as they sit down to meditate.
