Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Dhamma, 

You are cordially invited to attend the following events at BGF Ara Damansara: 

1)Anapanasati Meditation guided by Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera

Time: Every Tuesday 8.30 to 10.00 pm

Venue: Shrine Hall, BGF Ara Damansara.

For enquiries please contact: Bro. KL Lai (012-2102519) and Bro. Bobby Ng (012-6355571)

Anapanasati meditation is taught by Lord Buddha (MN 118) to attain enlightenment. Now we have the great opportunity to learn and practise it guided by an internationally renown monk Ajahn Brahm via his weekly meditation sessions from Bodhinyana Monastery, Perth Australia. In fact BGF will be inviting him to personally conduct such a retreat here in Genting Highlands in December this year. To prepare you for the retreat we in BGF have now specially set up this weekly session and together with group support, we hope you will find it helpful and beneficial. Remember Lord Buddha always advise us not to delay our diligent practice as life is impermanent. All are welcome.

"Happy is he who has lofty and noble aspirations.
Happy is he who enriches the lives of others. 
Happy is he who allows others to live in peace. 
Happy is he who makes this world a better place  to live in.
Happy is he whose work, chores and daily tasks are labours of love.
Happy is he who  loves love".

Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda (1919-2006)
