Our monthly meditation invites you to pause, sit, and return to the simplicity of the present moment.

There is no goal to achieve. No struggle to resolve. Only the gentle act of sitting with yourself—breathing, noticing, allowing. When the mind quiets, the world becomes clearer.

This session welcomes both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. Come as you are, and rest in the stillness that is already within you.

To promote professional training in spiritual care and psychospiritual therapy, the Society establishes a scholarship fund (Scholarship) for Buddhist clergies currently enrolled in accredited courses by Canadian Association for Spiritual Care (CASC/ACSS) or other courses approved by TLKYCS. Students may apply for the scholarship to cover the tuition paid. Students must submit a completed application form with relevant supporting documents. Please note that scholarship applications are reviewed and awarded semi-annually.

In our Sowing Seeds in Your Mind gardening series, participants are guided by agricultural professionals to engage with nature through sustainable and mindful cultivation. The program also integrates ecological awareness with Buddhist precepts, nurturing a sense of care, interconnection, and gratitude.
Through hands-on learning and observation of the natural cycles, we uncover the teachings of interdependence and impermanence — not only in the garden, but in life.

23-29 August
