Hi everyone,
Exams are nearing and stress levels are rising :(
But there is a way to let go of stress and worry through Buddhist practice :)
During the exam period, 3 or 4 weekly meditation sessions will be conducted under the guidance of Ven. Bhante Kovida. Ven. Bhante Kovida is a monk from Canada who follows the Theravada tradition and was ordinated under Venerable Balangoda Anandamaitreya.
At La Trobe, Ven. Bhante Kovida will conduct a Qi Gong session to relieve the built-up stress and tension in the body. This will be followed by a guided meditation session. The sessions will run for about 2 hours.
As Ven. Bhante Kovida is only in Melbourne for a short period of time, the other meditation sessions will be conducted by us. These sessions will run for 1 hour each (unless you would like to have more time :) ) and will be guided by an experienced practitioner of the club.
Exam time can be hard and there are time pressures. We hope you can come along to join us. Two hours is not much during a whole week and the results can be rewarding :) .
IMPORTANT: Please let us know the days and times that suit you best during the exam period using the on-line time-table below.

But wait, there's more....
Ven. Bhante Kovida will also be leading a retreat at the BSV this weekend. All are welcome to these freely offered teachings. The retreat will alternate sitting, walking and Dynamic meditations through the day; at 4.30pm a session of Qi gong will be offered.
