The torrential rains after months of drought has resulted in severe floods in almost 19 administrative districts in Sri Lanka, hampering the lived of thousands. The worst scenario had been the landslides in the mountain regions where still many lives are unaccounted for.
Bhante Rewatha Thero will be visiting Singapore and Malaysia from 1st to 24th of December (2015) to deliver Mindfulness workshops and training courses to various community groups, companies and charities in these countries.
Below are the details of the workshops he will be delivering and if you would like to know more information about the venues and dates please do get in touch with us and we would be happy to share with you his teaching diary for the month of December.
The Glasgow Mindfulness Centre has achieved one of their social enterprise goals by donating £3000 to set up a pre-school in Sri Lanka. The Centre’s aim in setting up a pre-school is to teach basic mindfulness skills at an early stage of a child’s life. The pre-school opens on 5th January 2015 with 50 children coming from disadvantaged families.
Glasgow in 2014 through the Commonwealth Games showed it’s a city that cares by working in partnership with UNICEF to put Children First. The Buddhist Vihara in Glasgow and COPE in Drumchapel intend to continue this legacy.
