Wales
http://www.internationalbuddhistcentrewales.org

The International Buddhist Centre Wales is a donation based centre of teaching based on the liberating, non dogmatic, psychologically sound teachings of Buddha Sakyamuni.

Our focus is on the teaching and practice of Samatha Bhavana (calming/concentration meditation) and of Satipatthana Vipassana (Insight Meditation based on the 4 foundations of mindfulness) in the tradition of Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw, and as taught by Phra Dhammamangkhalachan at Wat Phradhatu Sri Chom Thong Voravihara, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The Buddha saw a Lotus at the core of every sentient being, the potential for all to realize fundamental reality and break free from negative emotions, wrong thinking and unskillful behavior.

Based on that principle, we welcome people from all traditions and belief systems, regardless of race, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation or social status. We offer a warm welcome to anyone interested in meditation practice and the teachings of the 'Self Enlightened One'.

Esta Comunidade Religiosa (Sangha) sem fins lucrativos, instituí-se a convite de leigos portugueses, com o aval do Conselho Geral dos Monges Séniores das Comunidades Monásticas Reconhecidas, da Tradição da Floresta da Tailândia da Linha de Ajahn Chah, com o intuito de estabelecer um Mosteiro da Tradição em Portugal, tendo, para esse efeito, indigitado os dois monges subscritores dos Estatutos da Comunidade.

Os monges convidados para liderarem este movimento, seguem o treino tradicional das Escrituras Budistas (Vinaya) na linha da Tradição Tailandesa da Floresta do mosteiro Wat Nong Pah Pong, que foi fundado por Ajahn Chah. Esta tradição foi trazida para fora da Tailândia por Ajahn Sumedho e outros discípulos ocidentais. O contacto que as pessoas estabelecem com a comunidade monástica, permitirá cultivar a generosidade, a virtude e a sabedoria tanto nas pessoas como na sociedade em geral. Assim se poderão os seres libertar.

A vida monástica mendicante depende da boa vontade das pessoas para as necessidades materiais. A partir de Julho de 2012 os monges começaram a viver em Lisboa. A médio e longo prazo estamos à procura de um lugar mais apropriado como mosteiro, com espaço para monges viverem e pessoas poderem visitar o mosteiro por períodos de tempo curtos e longos.

    Samatha meditation involves mindfulness of breathing. Paying attention to the breath ecourages the mind to calm and still. Stillness brings wellbeing and understanding.

The Monaghan group meets at Corcaghan Community Centre most Mondays at 7.00 pm. The group is open to anyone who wants to come along at any time.

There is no charge for teaching but a donation towards cost of room hire is appreciated.
