Mani Recitation Retreat 2013

Similar settings as prior year at Toa Payoh Sport Hall.
I think it is 1st trial in Singapore (23rd Dec 2013) by Rinpoche to give his Dharma Talk directly in English (last few minutes on the "37 Practices of Bodhisattvas") in morning and he recited the "Dedication Prayer for the Mani Mantra that brings swift realisation of Perfect Bliss" (pg11 of text)  and "The Extraordinary Aspiration of the Practice of Samantabhadra" in the evening.
Rejoice in his good effort in English. A good attempt and certainly recommended to be continued _/|\_

As per past practice, part-time participants are welcome to join the retreat:

One-day ticket: $35

Morning session (8.30am-12.30pm): $15

Afternoon session (1.30pm-6pm): $15

Evening session (7pm-9.30pm): $10

 

There will be Refuge taking on 24th Dec 2013 4pm & Blessings to public on 25th Dec 2013 from 7pm.
Rejoice!

(It's amazing that one can observe some participants report to the retreat originally with loads of  stress or aversion from daily life (from their stern or stressful facial expression or behaviour) but after a few days of immersing in the chanting, they have relaxed and with smiley face once there is eye contact. There's definitely some positive energy from the chanting :-)
May All continue to be in smiley mood beyond the retreat:-) )
