Free training at Phuket Meditation Center today

PHUKET CITY: -- A Middle Way meditation session will take place today at the Phuket Meditation Center next to Suan Luang Park, starting at 1:30 pm.

The teaching monk is Phra Thada Jaranatharou.

Fluent in English, Phra Thada has a bachelors’ degree in industrial electrical technology from King Mongkut Institute of Technology, Thailand’s top engineering school, where he graduated with honors.

Phra Thada is particularly gifted at explaining basic Buddhist tenets using examples from science.

The Middle Way sessions are free and open to all, though donations to cover expenses are welcome.

The language of instruction is English.

To get to Phuket Mediation Center from Central Festival Phuket, head south on the bypass road and turn left onto Wirat Hongyok Rd at the first set of traffic lights, at the sign to Wat Naka.

Make a U-turn when you see the park on your right about one kilometer past the temple, then take the next left into Soi 7 and turn left again into Soi 7/2.
