Benefits To Meditation
(The temple grounds of The Singapore Buddhist Lodge, where I was yesterday.)
“Meditation is like having a spa for your brains. Your brain lasts longer. And you don’t have to worry about degenerating brain cells even after 40 years old.”
These were the opening words to the Bliss Out Meditation workshop that I attended last evening. The speaker was Ajahn Brahm, head abbot of the Bodhinyana Monastery in Western Australia, on a stopover in Singapore. Ajahn Brahm is the spiritual patron to The Buddhist Fellowship, a local non-sectarian Buddhist organisation of which I volunteer my writing services to.
