The emphasis in this course is on learning the basic technique of recognition (sati – mindfulness) of the body, feelings, mind, and dhammas in the present moment. 

In-Person Courses are currently paused due to travel.

"Mindfulness is a shining light; all defilements, all evil states, are like darkness. When the bright light shines, the darkness disappears."

– Most Ven. Phra Dhammamangalajaan Vi. (Ajaan Tong)

"Mindfulness is an exceptional preventer (of evil states). During the time when we are mindful, evil won’t enter in to reach our hearts. We will have pure hearts always."

– Most Ven. Phra Dhammamangalajaan Vi. (Ajaan Tong)

"Beyond knowing yourself, setting yourself in a way that is proper and good enough, you should strive to be able to take yourself as your refuge. Don't wait around to depend, lean, or rely on others."

– Most Ven. Phra Dhammamangalajaan Vi. (Ajaan Tong)
