Full house with Ajahn Dhammasiha!

Yesterday, we had a full day retreat co-organised with Wat Ananda Youth. The session started off with sitting meditation, a dhamma talk by Ajahn and then a Q&A. He left us with an interesting analogy to reflect on:

Imagine a cake or sweet on a public buffet. If someone else takes it, it usually doesnโ€™t bother you much.

Now place that same cake on your own plate, and then someone comes over and takes it from you. The dessert hasnโ€™t changed. It looks the same and tastes the same. What has changed is the mind.

The moment it becomes โ€œmineโ€, losing it brings suffering.

The point is that the suffering does not come from the dessert itself. It comes from the mind making it โ€œmineโ€. This is how attachment works, not only with food, but also with possessions, the body, feelings, and even our views.

For more zen this Wednesday, join us for our meditation session!

๐Ÿฎ DAYWA Cares September 2026 โ€” Lights of Mettฤ ๐Ÿ’›

This Mid-Autumn, join us for a morning of mindful lantern-making as we slow down, reconnect, and cultivate mettฤ (loving-kindness) together.

As each lantern comes to life, may it remind us that even the smallest light can brighten someoneโ€™s path. Through this simple act of creating, we practise bringing warmth, compassion, and care to ourselves and those around us. โœจ

We will join adults with intellectual disabilities for this activity as co-participants and facilitators of the activity.

๐Ÿ—“ Date: Sunday, 6 September 2026
๐Ÿ•ฃ Time: 8:45am โ€“ 1:00pm
๐Ÿ“ Venue: Will be disclosed upon sign up

No artistic experience needed ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿฎ Just come as you are, with an open heart.

Please sign up via Luma here โœจ: https://luma.com/qc9d9e8k

See you there! ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿชท Three Paths. One Buddha.

What does it actually mean to practise Theravฤda, Mahฤyฤna or Vajrayฤna Buddhism? And beyond the labels, what might each tradition offer someone seeking freedom from suffering? ๐Ÿ™

Join us for an open conversation with three lay practitioners, each representing one of these traditions.

Rather than a history lesson, weโ€™ll hear their personal journeys: how they encountered Buddhism, what drew them to their tradition, how they practise, and what they have come to understand about the Buddhist path. ๐Ÿ”Ž
