This Saturday night, Peace Architect Barbara will be guiding the Dhammakaya Meditation Europe Session. She will be talking about the topic "Letting Control Go, Without Giving Up". This is an invitation to explore the difference between letting go and giving up, while staying connected to what truly matters to us. Together, we’ll practice releasing the need to control and trusting ourselves through change and uncertainty.

A note of gratitude and a gentle update regarding our meditation sessions

Thank you all so much for the continuous warmth and kindness. Beyond the thousands of supportive messages online, I am truly touched by the encouraging words shared when we pass each other around town, the beautiful flowers, and the lovely treats brought to the centre yesterday.

Just a gentle note: if anyone is considering attending our meditation sessions, particularly our Tuesday evening class, simply to show support or solidarity in person, please do not feel the need to do so. Our room has limited physical capacity, and a crowded space makes it difficult to maintain the calm, quiet, and spacious atmosphere needed for meditation practice.

Your kind words on the street and your thoughtful messages are already the best support we could receive.

Of course, anyone who genuinely wishes to learn and practice meditation is always warmly welcome; we simply ask that you book or message us in advance so we can ensure there is enough space to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Thank you once again for your care and understanding.

With kind wishes and blessings,

Phra Karucha (Monk Kom)

This Saturday night, Lp Kom will be guiding the Dhammakaya Meditation Europe Session. He will be talking about the topic "The Sacred Empty Space: Finding Liberation in a Digital World". In an age of endless distraction, we have lost the art of being bored. This session explores how embracing "empty space" not only sparks profound creativity but serves as the essential first step toward true letting go and inner peace.

An update and heartfelt thank you to the Hebburn community

I originally intended to post this update directly in the 'HEBBURN, South Tyneside' group, where so many of you shared such overwhelming kindness and concern. However, as the group is temporarily paused for 5 days, I am sharing this message here on our centre’s page instead so my gratitude reaches you all.

Following my initial post regarding the incident at Hebburn Riverside Park, I thought the matter would quietly pass. Instead, I have been deeply touched by the outpouring of support, warm messages, and today, a beautiful arrangement of flowers delivered to our centre by a kind resident on behalf of the Hebburn community.

I am writing this to express my sincere gratitude to everyone and to share a brief update:

Our Community: I have lived in Hebburn for over six and a half years; I know firsthand how kind, welcoming, and peaceful this town is. This single incident does not change how much I value and appreciate living here.

Reflections on the Incident: As a Buddhist monk, I contemplate life through understanding, patience, and the principle of cause and effect (Kamma). I hold no anger, resentment, or bitterness towards the young lads. While their actions crossed a line, panic and poor judgement often lead young people to react recklessly.

Police & Safety: Northumbria Police have logged the report on their records to assist with future patrols, though there was no direct CCTV coverage at that specific spot.

Health Update: I am doing very well. Aside from minor soreness inside my lip, there are no lasting injuries; it has not disrupted my daily routines, and it is now almost completely healed.

My only hope is that these young lads take a moment to reflect on the kind of community they wish to grow up in. The way we treat others inevitably shapes the environment our own loved ones and families live in.

Thank you all once again for your immense kindness, care, and solidarity.

With kind wishes and gratitude,

Monk Kom

A truly beautiful day of practice! 🙏 Beyond finding stillness in our meditation class, we were blessed with a special opportunity to support the local novitiate. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stayed after class to offer food to the young novice monks. Your generosity and presence created a wonderfully warm atmosphere. It was a joyful experience to come together as a community for such a meaningful cause.
