    About Lama Rinchen Phuntsok

    The Venerable Lama Rinchen Phuntsok is a skillful teacher with a light and joyful manner. He is a scholar and meditation master of the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition. Born in Tibet, Lama Rinchen began receiving instruction in the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism at the age of six in Tsasum Chokhorling Monastery in Tibet. After he left Tibet in 1958, he studied at Young Lama's Home School in Dalhousie, The Buddhist Monastic School in Rewalsar, Nyingmapa Lama's College in Dehra-Dun, and Zongdog Palri Monastery in Kalimpong. Lama Rinchen graduated from Sanskrit University in Varanasi India where he completed advanced studies in Sutrayana Buddhist philosophy and scriptures, commentaries, logic, literature, history, and the major sciences of the Tibetan curriculum.

    (...) For many years Lama Rinchen was in charge of Zangdog Palri Monastery in India and also Urgyen Dongag, Choling Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal. In 1980, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche asked him to come to the United States to teach in his New York center where Lama Rinchen was director and resident Lama for four years. Since then he has lectured widely throughout the United States and Europe at centers, colleges, and universities. (...)

    'Weekly Group Silent Sitting for the International Community @ Suan Mokkh Bangkok – BIA

    General Description

    • A regular 40 minute silent group sitting, followed by a dhamma talk, will take place each Tuesday evening at 6.45 pm starting July 10. It is designed to provide a weekly group synergy to support participants’ personal meditation practice. The estimated total time is about 2 hours – until about 8.45 pm.
    • Beginners are welcome but please be aware that this is a group run by and for lay people. As such we have no ordained person who is regularly leading the group or giving meditation instruction. Instead a lay facilitator will host the event although duties (e.g. ringing the bell) may rotate if the group would like this.

    Typical evening:

    6:45

    Arrive with a smile inside the
    BIA
    ‘A Taste of Nibbana’
    meditation room on the 2nd floor.
    Greet friends briefly and settle oneself into the space.

    7:00

    Bell to announce the beginning of
    the silent sitting meditation.
    Many people will practice mindfulness of breathing and/or vipassana. You may conduct your own practice as long as it is silent meditation that respects the other participants. Sitting mats, cushions or chairs are available.

    7:40

    Bell to announce the end of the sitting meditation. Anyone who wish to leave at that point have the opportunity to do so.

    7:45

    After any departures, we intend to follow the sit with
    listening in silence to a recorded dhamma talk
    of between 20- 45 minutes. These may be selected from any of the Buddhist meditative traditions and from a variety of speakers of Theravada (Ajahn Buddhadasa, Ajahn Chah lineage etc…), Mahayana, Zen or other meditative traditions. When it is possible we will have a visiting teacher to lead the meditation and conduct a talk. At the conclusion of the talk, a hot drink will be available in the building.

    Location

    Suan Mokkh Bangkok - BIA is a 10 minute walk from the MRT Pahon Yothin Station (exit 3) and a 25 minute walk through the park from BTS Mochit Station (See map).

    We hope that this opportunity will provide encouragement to experienced as well as beginning meditators and will lead to renewed and strengthened mindfulness of daily life. Please lend your energy by being a part of this lay sangha group. smile.png
