This site:
Little Bang, Bangkok Meditation Guide is to serve as a compass for meditators in Bangkok - of which there are quite a few. There has not been a lot organised in Bangkok in terms of Meditation Events in recent years, so we hopefully we can form a focus point for setting up new things. If you are organising events, send the info via the form below and we will blog it up for you.
There are a few different styles of events that we could do with in Bangkok:
- Some focussed Dhamma Talks on a fiarly regular basis, with different hosts. Topics should be quite specific. With a group meditation session.
- Introductory talks on Buddhism for toursits and the mildly curious.
- Workshops, indepth on particular topics, with open discussion and group input
Occasional Email Notice
5 or 6 times a year we send out a notice of some sopecial event, or series of events. Send your email below if you want to be included. Notices are few and far between so keep checking this site to keep up-to-date.
Contact
Please don’t ask personal questions - you should find someone you can trust for those. Wherever you are in the world there are meditation groups, libraries and wise people available. If you really can’t find someone to answer your questions locally then perhaps you could try the E-Sangha forum where there is a balance of experienced meditators of all kinds.
For the June meditation retreat, please send in the following details:
Name Nationality and Age
Email address and phone number
Your place is only booked once you have paid the fee or a deposit to Dr Will
Comments
Most of the time there is a comments box available for easy access. Sometimes comments are restricted to WORDPRESS users - you can sign up for a WordPress account easily. Your name and password belong to WordPress, and not to Littlebang, and with the account you can start your own blog when you wish, as well as other features of the wider WordPress blogging commmuntiy.
Meditation Lineage
LittleBang is not attached to any particular meditation style, lineage or temple: Mahasi Sayadaw, Abhidhamma, Dhammakaya, Vipassana, Ajahn Chah, Ajahn Dhammadaro etc … Our common thread at LittleBang is not a teacher, but the English Language. If it is Dhamma in English, then it may be included. As for different lineages - we’ll provide information on events, and its up to you all to decide if you like/trust the lineage and teacher.
Little Bang
How did the name ‘ Little Bang ‘ come about?
Well, Samsara, say the scientists, began with a Big Bang. If you undertake meditation or study a little about Enlightenment, you begin the humble process of bringing Samsara to an end (for you and others). So maybe Samsara will end with this, little, Bang. That, and LittleBang is easy to google without too many hits to choose from. ‘ Bangkok Meditation Guide ‘ is what we are.
Other names were considered and argued over.
