Just back from Meditation Retreat

I just arrived back from a 2 days Meditation Retreat, north of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The program is run in the International Centre of the Buddhist University here and intends to spread the Buddhist theory and practice for both Thai people and foreigners.

The time there was really good! I learnt various medidation techniques, medidated for long hours and got to understand the Buddhist worldview a little better.

One thing that was particularly remarkable was the Master's strength and coherency. He just lost 100 monk friends in the conflicts in Burma, but kept the serenity and led us to continuosly wish happiness and wellbeing to all beings, including the aggressors. He said truly free and happy people are compassionate and loving to others, which meant the Burmese officials were suffering for not acting that way and therefore needed our wishes.

May all beings be safe and secure
May all beings be happy and peaceful
