Cats who teach me to fly…

2 years ago, a new 5 storeys building was built at Kong Meng San. The new building is meant for meditation. The halls are conducive. Lightings are good. Excellent ambience. Due to the Covid19 measures, we were unable to visit the new building. And only lately, the halls are opened and meditation classes resumed.

I am there at least twice weekly for meditation. The first night when I saw Avalokiteshivara, I wish I could live there. I wish KMS can organise a stay-in retreat. I wish the library can be opened soon. I began to wish this and that… I think such desires aren’t so bad afterall! I even wish I can live a stone thrown away from KMS.

A meditation class was given last Monday at the Medicine Buddha Hall. The meditation was guided by Ven. Chuan Hang. Ven. Chuan Hang was sincere and serious in teaching the dharma. I can see the effort he put in. There were walking and sitting meditation and dharma teachings. This is exactly what I want. Sadly, last Monday was the last class and I have requested him to continue teaching and I even write to the management. However, it looks like that won’t be any class taught by him soon as we were given a 3 months “assignment” to do:).

I attended a meditation class last night and the next one would be on Friday. I am looking forward for the full day retreat which is on 2 October. It will be conducted in mandarin. Anyway, the retreat is all about 正念(right mindfulness).

KMS benefited many of us and I have started to repay them by making donations regularly.
