RECOMMENCEMENT OF MEDITATION CLASS AT MENAI 16TH JULY

I am very pleased to introduce you to our new Meditation Leader, Stephen Procter, who comes to us with vast experience both in Buddhism and Meditation.    Stephen and his wife, Linda were live-in Managers of the Insight Meditation Centre in the Blue Mountains for a while.


Subsequently, the Meditation Class at Menai will be recommencing on MONDAY 16th July, the first Monday after the school holidays.   Please note the new day.   Time and Place the same as before and full particulars are on our Weekly Meditation Class Page of the Website.

The weekly Meditation Class on a Thursday morning will recommence on 18th July from 10 to 11 am as usual and I hope to see all of you then.   We are staying behind at Class on this Thursday for a cuppa to welcome Stephen and give you an opportunity to meet and talk to him, so please come along.

Pamela Gray has the children's classes up and running and full particulars can be found on our Children's Meditation Page.  They are very successful and the children love it!   They even have afternoon tea afterwards!  Very posh!

With the grateful assistance from Stephen and Pamela, I will now be free to run more workshops which will be posted on the Website in due course.   I will be in Cronulla from time to time as some of us have arranged to meet for coffee/lunch and I may even sneak into class.

The Refuge Ceremony will be held at Vajrayana Institute this year on 26th October 2013 and I will, as usual, be holding a half day workshop on what to expect.   For anyone wanting to take Refuge with the Vajrayana Institute, please let me know.   However, anyone is welcome at this Workshop whether you intend to take refuge or not.   More on that as it draws nearer.
Blessings to you all, Venerable Yangchen
