Notes and Events:

With the core belief that “Inner Peace brings World Peace”, Dhammakaya Centre Singapore was set up as a Buddhist Meditation Society back in September 1999, with teaching and promoting meditation as its principal activity. Meditation is a popular activity suitable for all ages, races and religions, and particularly relevant for people living in a dynamic and fast-paced city like Singapore. On top of well-established benefits to one’s physical health, it has also been shown to be effective in reducing stress and elevating cognitive abilities and work productivity. In the area of inter-personal relationship, it has an even more profound impact; a positive change at the individual’s emotional level has a positive influence on the well-being of one’s immediate family and community, thus setting in place the foundation for a world that is accepting, inclusive and cohesive. This is the world that we value and aspire for. The DCS Building was designed specifically to provide a space of tranquillity to anyone who seeks to achieve that inner peace. It’s like an oasis in a desert, a safe harbour to nourish an individual’s mind. Having set base at Punggol, we are now ready to fully pursue our mission to benefit the masses. In lock-step with the development of the Punggol district, we shall now march towards a blissful, harmonious and prosperous society.

Introduction to Dhammakaya Meditation

About five hundred years after the Great Decease of Lord Buddha, there remained no evidence of the Dhammakaya meditation technique. After devoted practice, the Venerable Chao Khun Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni restored the principles of Dhammakaya meditation and taught them. Today the approach has become well-known once again.

The Venerable Chao Khun Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni once said that Dhammakaya meditation would be known all over the country, primarily because it penetrates right to the heart of the practice of purification. Defilements such as greed, hatred, delusion, conceit, wrongview, doubt, sloth, restlessness, shamelessness, and lack of moral dread are uprooted naturally and effectively. Avijja or ignorance becomes Vijja or knowledge.

Dhammakaya meditation is not a new practice, as many believe. It is the original Buddha-Teaching. Dhammakaya meditation is the exact path that the Buddha practiced. It is cited many times in the Tipitaka (Buddhist Canon), and directly follows the Noble Eightfold Path which is classified into the three categories of Sila or morality, Samatha or Right Concentration, and Vipassana or Right Wisdom. In combination with the four Satipatthana or Foundations of Mindfulness, the Samatha (concentration) and Vipassana (insight) will advance to Right Wisdom pertaining to the Sankhara or compounds and Visankhara or non-compounds. The Right Wisdom of the Four Noble Truths will be unfolded. Nirvana or freedom from all conditioning and suffering will, thus, be attained.

Without Lord Buddha, this teaching would never have been known and practiced. Without the Venerable Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni, Dhammakaya meditation would never have been well known again. Various benefits will be gained even at the beginning of Dhammakaya meditation practice.

This is for all who seek to understand reality or the true meaning of life as well as those who seek inner purification. Wisdom and virtue develop hand-in-hand. As the meditator progresses beyond the distortions of the passions, insight sharpens and understanding deepens.

Dhammakaya Meditation does not require blind faith. You do not have to believe in Buddhism to benefit from it. It is a method for training the mind to become concentrated and keenly aware, focused inward at the center of the body. With practice, you will encounter new experiences for yourself and will develop confidence.

In 1916, Luang Phor Sodh Candasaro (Chao Khun Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni) rediscovered the Dhammakaya approach to meditation which had been lost sometime during the first five hundred years following the passing away of Lord Buddha. The technique leads the meditator directly along the path to enlightenment and emancipation by combining concentration (Samatha) and insight (Vipassana) meditation techniques. It is, thus, extremely focused and effective.

Dhammakaya Meditation practice has become popular and widespread throughout Thailand. This is intended to make the method more widely available to English speakers.

Meditation begins with turning the powers of observation and awareness inward. We are accustomed to perceiving the outside world, but introspection requires special effort. Steeped in science, we have prided ourselves on “objectivity” while remaining largely unaware of inner biases.

Traditional scientific objectivity required isolation from the object observed. Since quantum mechanics was introduced, science has recognized that we are part of the world we perceive and what we see depends on how we look at it. Meditation is like polishing a lens to enable us to see more clearly. Skill in meditation develops the ability to perceive experience directly without the distortions implicit in conceptualization.

Many seekers turn to meditation because of dissatisfaction with life. This is the universally experienced sadness / suffering / tension (Dukkha) on which Lord Buddha based the Four Noble Truths. But, this motivation to ease tensions or cope with anxieties is only a starting point. Many meditation techniques will provide relief on this worldly level, but the beauty of Dhammakaya Meditation is that it leads directly upwards from this plane to more and more refined, purer and purer levels of awareness.

The effectiveness of the Dhammakaya Meditation derives from focusing attention at the center of the body and combining three meditation techniques simultaneously. Meditators often debate the efficacy of concentration (Samatha) versus insight (Vipassana). Dhammakaya Meditation employs elements of both. Higher and higher levels of concentration enable personal insight to progress from a more worldly view to Right Understanding and ultimately to Supra-mundane Right Wisdom.

Notes and Events:

We bieden cursussen en andere activiteiten aan, waarbij we niet de nadruk leggen op het werven van leden of het ‘bekeren’ van mensen tot Boeddhist. We proberen, zoals eigen is aan het Boeddhisme, de wijsheden van de Boeddha aan te bieden aan alle geïnteresseerden, aan zowel de allochtone Thai die in België, Nederland en Luxemburg wonen, als de steeds meer geïnteresseerde autochtone Europeaan.

We benadrukken de praktische kant van het Boeddhisme: hoe je Boeddhistische wijsheid op een pragmatische manier in je dagelijks leven kunt integreren, door eenvoudige maar zinvolle dagelijkse activiteiten zoals vrijgevigheid, zelfdiscipline en vooral meditatie.

Daarom organiseren we elke week meditatielessen voor zowel nieuwkomers als meer ervaren beoefenaars.  Daarnaast organiseren we verschillende keren per jaar retraites aan in het Nederlands, Thais en Engels. Nu en dan zijn er vieringen, die worden gehouden in overeenstemming met eeuwenoude Boeddhistische tradities. Deze vieringen bevatten vaak verschillende ceremonies of plechtigheden, die we simultaan vertalen in het Nederlands of Engels naar gelang het publiek dat de viering bijwoont.

Notes and Events:

Our Vipassana Sangha, in the Forest Monastery tradition, practices mindful awareness within the awesome beauty of nature.  We practice being in the moment, in bare receptivity to all that arises, as we kayak in silence at sunset/moonrise on the Russian River, hike mindfully along a redwood canyon, or meditate beside a rushing sun-sparkled creek.

We practice in harmony with the elements and our bodily sensations, to cultivate non-conceptual Being (mindfulness), to realize the truth of our own nature. Just as the waters are ever-changing, as the trees and plants dance with the air element of wind, or as the sun appears and disappears through the clouds and coastal fog, we cultivate our awareness of impermanence, which is reflected in our constantly changing thoughts and feelings, and the arising and dissolving away of all forms.  We practice surrender to the moment as it is unfolding, without clinging to any particular object, thought, or sensation--allowing all to arise and pass away within the field of our non-judging awareness.

Dharma Creek Sangha currently offers one weekend womens sunset/moonrise kayak retreat each month, plus a week-long womens dharma camp in June.  The Sangha is located on 200+ acres of beautiful land which is available for guided or solo private retreats, and for small-group use by other spiritual groups upon request.
