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.

Please dress in a respectful manner as this is a monastery. Please do not wear shorts or tank tops (singlets), V-neck shirts or tight yoga clothes. Loose attire is preferred and the most comfortable for sitting meditation. We will also feel more at ease around the monastic brothers and sisters. You may need sun blocks, umbrella, insect repellent… based on your needs. The temperature at Ngong Ping is lower than town, please wear / bring warmth clothes with you, especially for practicing Total Relaxation in the afternoon.
You are encouraged to stay for the whole day to practice and nourish your body and mind. Should you have any question, please email to aiab@pvfhk.org.
