Meditation is not Therapy!! Meditation sitting and dhamma

I'm just back from America, and from some interesting encounters. There is a lot of emphasis here on psychological healing, ego (good and bad), 'growing' etc.... All great stuff. But that is not quite the goal of contemplative (mystic) traditions like Buddhism. There are two streams of 'work' in this meditation tradition - developing good qualities, and stepping outside of the whole self delusion (Maya). That's the topic tonight!
__________
Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice.
Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please dress modestly.
___________
As is usual with Buddhist teachings, there is no charge for this event. However, the Little Bangkok Sangha follows the Buddhist custom of Dana (generosity). The teachings and the venue are offered as an act of generosity, and those receiving them can, if they wish, support with a small donation. These go towards the teacher’s and venue’s costs. Boxes for Dana will be provided.
