Kalayanamitras of Wat Dhammakaya DC, USA, welcomed natives to meditate in English at Wat Dhammakaya DC. The temple arranges the meditation training every week, but this week was very special because more natives joined in this program.
This is because Wat Dhammakaya DC assigned Ms. Walairat Bamrungcharoen to inform the temple’s activities on the famous American website named www.meetup.com by using the “The Washington D.C. Middle Way Meditation” group. So, more natives were interested and called for booking their seats.
During the training, all trainees had introduced themselves to one another for making friends and had Yoga together before meditation. After that, Phra Weerapong Nimmalo taught about the basic meditation as well as showed Dhamma media and led them to meditate.
After the meditation session, the teaching monk answered their questions which impressed them very much. The topics they were interested are Buddhism, the history of Dhammakaya Temple, how to meditate, etc. Finally, each of them got a souvenir from the teaching monk and took historic pictures together.
