We had a wonderful day-long retreat at the Long Island Buddhist Meditation Center, sharing and practicing the Dhamma with a large and dedicated gathering.

The Dhamma discussion, led by Bhante Chandrawansa, explored the period before and during the time of the Buddha, along with the profound teachings of the Four Noble Truths.

We are truly grateful to LIBMC for extending the invitation and for the opportunity to lead this special and meaningful event.

During our recent Storytelling Night, we were deeply touched by a beautiful and unique offering from Robby, one of our devoted meditation practitioners.

Robby created and performed a loving-kindness meditation song, filling the space with warmth, compassion, and gentle inspiration. It was a truly special moment that brought everyone closer together in practice and in heart.

Thank you, Robby, for sharing your creativity and kindness with our community. Your offering added a meaningful and memorable dimension to our group meditation. 🙏💛

May the spirit of loving-kindness continue to grow within all of us and extend out to the world.

Tonight we had a truly beautiful Storytelling Night on the theme of Impermanence. 🌊

It was deeply touching to witness everyone’s openness and courage as they shared their personal stories. Each story reminded us how life, like a wave, rises and falls—constantly changing, constantly teaching us.

The vulnerability, honesty, and compassion in the room created a very special space for reflection and connection. Moments like these show the true strength of a mindful community.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and especially to those who bravely shared their experiences with the group. Thank you for making the evening so meaningful.

May we all continue to reflect on impermanence with wisdom and kindness.

Thank you, Rosy, for guiding us through such a peaceful and uplifting Sound Bowl Meditation. The gentle vibrations and calming tones created a space of deep stillness and mindfulness for all of us.

It was truly a wonderful experience — a time to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the present moment. Seeing everyone sit together in silence, immersed in awareness, was a beautiful reminder of the power of community and practice.
