๐ŸŒฟ CIP @ Little Bodhi Student Care Centre

A big thank you to everyone who volunteered and made our Childrenโ€™s Day CIP a meaningful one!

We managed the game booths and accompanied the children as they enjoyed mini games such as dropping sticks and mini golf. We hope the children had as much fun playing as we did spending time with them!

Sometimes, even the smallest acts of kindness can brighten someoneโ€™s day. ๐ŸŒฑ

Thank you to all our volunteers for dedicating your time, keeping the programme running smoothly! May we continue to find happiness in giving and creating meaningful moments for others. ๐Ÿƒ

๐Ÿ™ˆ โ€œSorry, Iโ€™m not free.โ€
Easy to type. Somehow harder to actually send ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Between wanting to be there for people, not wanting to disappoint anyone, and wondering if saying no makes us a โ€œbad friend,โ€ boundaries can get messy fast.

This session is for anyone whoโ€™s ever agreed to something while already mentally exhausted ๐Ÿ‘€ Weโ€™ll be exploring how to show up for others without abandoning ourselves in the process, and what healthier friendship can look like when itโ€™s built on honesty rather than obligation.

๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to everyone who joined us today!

This session, we explored spiritual friendship (Kalyฤแน‡a Mittatฤ). ๐Ÿ’š Being a good friend doesnโ€™t mean always saying yes, and learning to say no with kindness is also part of setting healthy boundaries.

Spiritual friendship is not just about finding good companions, but also about becoming one ourselves. By cultivating faith, virtue, generosity and wisdom, we can attract and surround ourselves with good companions who inspire us to grow in the Dhamma. ๐ŸŒฑ

May we continue to nurture wholesome friendships and become the kind of spiritual friends we hope to find! ๐Ÿƒ

๐ŸŒฟ Brain got 37 tabs open? Come close a few.

If meditation has ever felt like โ€œsit still and somehow think about nothing,โ€ this session might change your mind ๐Ÿ‘€
Bro Loh Wei will be guiding us through a practical meditation session drawing from both Buddhist practice and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), with different techniques you can actually experiment with and bring into everyday life.
No need to be good at meditating. No need to have a โ€œpeaceful mind.โ€ Just come curious, try something new, and see what clicks for you ๐Ÿƒ

Imagine being in MBS, moving from the lowest floor with its casual food court to the highest floor with its luxury shops. It must feel good to explore all the different shops, right? But what if you were stuck in this mall, moving between its different levels, unable to leave and explore the other beautiful parts of Singapore?

Thank you to everyone who joined us today!

In this session, we explored both Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Buddhist meditation. MBSR focuses on managing stress and improving well-being through practices such as mindful breathing and body scan meditation, which help increase awareness of thoughts and emotions. ๐ŸŒฟ

For Buddhist meditation, Bro Loh Wei shared how we can use the MBS scenario as a metaphor for Saแนƒsฤra and the different realms of existence. Each level represents a different realm within the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, while Nirvฤแน‡a represents liberation from this cycle. Through meditation, we learn to recognise our cravings and attachments, cultivate mindfulness in our daily lives, and develop wisdom on the path towards liberation. ๐ŸŒฑ

May we continue to practise meditation and mindfulness to deepen our understanding of the Dhamma as we journey towards Nirvฤแน‡a! ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ’— Can you love someone deeplyโ€ฆ without clinging to them?

Romantic relationships can bring out some of our best qualities, and also some of our messiest ones ๐Ÿ‘€

Weโ€™re especially excited for this session because itโ€™s a new panel-style concept weโ€™re trying at NUSBS โœจ

Join us for a candid conversation with two practising Buddhist couples as they talk about love, attachment, intimacy, values, conflict, growth, and what Buddhist practice actually looks like inside a real relationship.

Expect less โ€œperfect relationship adviceโ€ and more honest sharing about how two people can care for each other without turning love into control, insecurity, or losing themselves along the way ๐ŸŒฟ

Thereโ€™ll also be a Q&A, so bring the questions youโ€™ve always wanted to ask. Weโ€™re very curious to see where the conversation goes too ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’š
