🪞 Buddhism and the Self
Who are you, really?
Buddhism challenges the idea of a fixed, permanent self through the teaching of anatta (non-self). In this session, we’ll explore how loosening our grip on rigid identities can open the door to freedom, peace, and compassion.
🧘♀️ Expect fresh insights, guided reflections, and a chance to see “yourself” in a whole new light.

🧩 Meditation Session: The Five Hindrances
Why is it so hard to sit still?
Buddhism teaches that the Five Hindrances — sloth, doubt, aversion, craving, and restlessness — cloud the mind and make meditation challenging. In this session, we’ll explore these obstacles and learn how understanding them can make our practice lighter, steadier, and kinder.
🧘♂️ Expect simple insights, gentle reflection, and a quiet space to try silent meditation together. The session will be guided by Brother Jia Jie.
