The Day of Mindfulness (DOM) is mainly facilitated by the monks and nuns of AIAB with the intention to bring the practices of Buddhism into daily life. It is a day for us to experience the happiness of the present moment simply by having a series of mindfulness practice activities. The mindfulness practice will help us to become more focus and attentive in our daily life. Practicing together is indeed very happy and enjoyable!
The DOM is free-of-charge and welcomes all, regardless of your religious background and experiences.
December 25 DOM is a special one. We do not only practice mindfulness together, but also celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. In the afternoon, we will have a Be-In (Togetherness) session. If you have some sharing, like songs, poem, story…, you are welcome to share with us during the session.
