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 doesnโt bother you much.
Now place that same cake on your own plate, and then someone comes over and takes it from you. The dessert hasnโt changed. It looks the same and tastes the same. What has changed is the mind.
The moment it becomes โmineโ, losing it brings suffering.
The point is that the suffering does not come from the dessert itself. It comes from the mind making it โmineโ. 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!

๐ชท Three Paths. One Buddha.
What does it actually mean to practise Theravฤda, Mahฤyฤna or Vajrayฤna Buddhism? And beyond the labels, what might each tradition offer someone seeking freedom from suffering? ๐
Join us for an open conversation with three lay practitioners, each representing one of these traditions.
Rather than a history lesson, weโll 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. ๐
