PASS ON THE LAMP OF WISDOM
DDMBA Ontario February One Day Chan Meditation Retreat
Event: PASS ON THE LAMP OF WISDOM - One Day Retreat
Date: Saturday, February 12, 2011 Time: 9:15am to 5:00pm
Location: DDMBA Ontario, 154 Poyntz Avenue, Toronto M2N 1J4
You are warmly invited to a One Day Ch'an Meditation Retreat to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of Master Sheng Yen's passing on Feb 12th. This is part of a world-wide set of commemorative events held in that weekend. Please show your support by attending and by inviting friends.
Registration begins at 9:15am, and the program of the day starts at 9:30am. Both in the morning and in the afternoon, there would be showing of Master Sheng Yen's recorded discourses with English subtitles, followed by about one hour of sitting meditation with a break half way for stretching exercises. The day's program would end with a short period of reciting the Amitaba Buddha's name and the transferring of merits. From 4:30 to 5:00pm, there would be a session of optional informal association among the participants.
Sitting in this retreat is less intensive compared to the earlier ones and is suitable to participants with a broad range of meditation experience. Instead of one full day, participants are welcome to attend either only the morning or the afternoon session. Be sure to wear loose, warm and comfortable clothing suited to sitting. DDM provides cushions, sitting mats, towels, and a light vegetarian lunch.
In the spirit of sharing with the community of Ch'an practitioners, participants of this retreat are also encouraged to contribute a vegetarian dish or snack for the retreat lunch. (Dishes contributed should not contain any form of onions, including green onions, any form of garlics, chimes as well as egg products.)
Please kindly RSVP meditation@ddmba-ontario.ca the latest by February 10 should you plan to attend the retreat and, if you plan to bring a dish, inform us about the dish that you would bring.
