Realize the Noble Path Retreat
Date: 20-29 December 2019

Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, KL, Malaysia

Picture
The Buddha taught an “easy to understand” practice that was comfortable, light, and fun to learn. It leads you down the Noble Path to understand the true teaching. The teaching has both “Metta” ( Loving Kindness) and “Vipassana” Insight woven into the practice. Lay people can practice his antidote for suffering to manage the challenges they face in today’s world. By changing our mind, we can change our life! This harmonious perspective brings up a new smile. Come and ‘give ear’ to the ‘Suttas’ (the lessons) the Buddha taught and you will hear the wonder of this Living Dhamma. 

Bhante Vimalaramsi takes you on a journey to experience a way out of much of the suffering you face today. Come and listen to a gentle guiding voice full of Metta and Karuna and hear what the Buddha's own words taught his own people and monks. Listen to how he describes his own meditation and how to abandon much of your suffering. Learn the drills the monks practiced to free themselves from atta. Discover a development chart that will help you gauge your own progress.  Begin to see what Buddha Gotama experienced in his own meditation and why he said, "We are the happy ones!"  Listen to a way out of humanity's vast trammel of war and hate in this world today. Learn about the Buddha’s measure for your own successful meditation. Reclaim your own internal peace and smile.
