On Sunday 28 January, youths gathered at Nalanda Youth Centre to learn from Bro. Jeff Oliver, a Vipassana meditation teacher. Bro. Jeff shared the importance of maintaining mindfulness in our daily lives as much as we can, in order to train the mind to stay in the present moment. This helps us to gradually understand the realities of life, and greatly enables our progress in meditation.
Without mindfulness, we will also find our ego and pride growing. If left unchecked, we will experience even more anger and hatred when our pride is inevitably hurt. We thank Bro. Jeff for being with us and enriching the youths with advice and guidance on mindfulness.
