As students, we all hope to be able to concentrate our thoughts, finish our assignments effectively and have more time for fun outside our studies. There're self-help books or materials that teach us how to focus with varying degree of usefulness.

According to buddhist teachings, human minds are subtle and constantly changing. Each moment our minds fluatuate to vast variety of states. The essence of buddhist practice is to exert self-control, and "be the master of one's mind, rather than let one's mind master oneself".

Here in this meeting, we will explore how buddhist practice help us to develop our concentration. We will explain and demonstrate the spiritual practice of chanting. As we focus our mind to chant with our senses open, we physically and spiritually develop ourselves to effectively exert our inner yearns and vows, without being swayed by the environment. We welcome everyone to come to the meeting and explore the possibilities laying within our lives.

Note: Similar Buddhism introductory and chanting sessions will be held on specific Fridays in this Semester, at same time and location. Please refer to our website for updated information.
