Continuous English Meditation Class

The English meditation class continues on 6 October at Fo Guang Shan (FGS) South Island NZ with Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA) member, Ding Lih Son and other practitioners leading 10 English speakers into Taichi, walking meditation, sitting meditation and tea meditation.

At first Ding and BLIA member Bill led the Taichi class emphasising on breathing and basic stances of Taichi. It then went into walking meditation where focus is giving to the mindfulness of the steps and the in sitting meditation, attention is given to taming the mind. In the end of the class, students were to enjoy warm tea from the practitioners in the cold winter day.

After the class, students asked on how to train themselves to tea meditation. BLIA members gave guidance on how to observe the heart for a good tea meditating practice. The members then shared how to regulate the body and warming up for Taichi, later on cooling down to an enjoyable tea drinking meditation. The students gave great gratitude for all the guidance of the class.
