πŸͺž 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.

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Expect fresh insights, guided reflections, and a chance to see β€œyourself” in a whole new light.

πŸ—“οΈ Tuesday, 4th November 2025
⏱️7.15–9pm

The venue is at Yusof Ishak House, MPR 5.

✨ All are welcome β€” just bring an open mind.

🧩 Meditation Session: The Five Hindrances

Why is it so hard to sit still?
Buddhism teaches that the Five Hindrances β€” sloth, doubt, aversion, craving, and restlessness β€” 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.

πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Expect simple insights, gentle reflection, and a quiet space to try silent meditation together. The session will be guided by Brother Jia Jie.

πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈπŸŒΏ Thank you for calming down with us today πŸŒΏπŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

From gentle understanding to curious insights, you made the quiet space feel even gentler and friendlier for all of us. πŸͺ·πŸ’›
Together, we explored just why it is so hard to slow down, but we also learnt how to mitigate it through silent meditation. 🌸

We hope the calm can help you traverse through these stressful times. πŸ’–
