on Dhamma, make resolution, and radiate loving-kindness. My mind is calm and peaceful, and I hope to make Merit more and more. I would like everyone to gain some experiences at Wat Phra Dhammakaya so that they can realise how Dhamma brings them happiness just as I have realised myself. Right Meditation Brings Relaxation Ms. Ng Chiat Eng, a Nursing Supervisor, and a Management Coun- cellor acting as an adviser for Quinine's Yoga Centre, was one of the meditators who came to celebrate New Year at Wat Phra Dhammakaya. Although she has only just started to meditate, she has already realised the benefit of Dhammakaya technique. She said, "Actually my concentration span has always been very short. I can't really sit for more than fifteen minutes. But one day while having meditation with Doctor Metta, I saw a clear crystal ball go up to my head and then go out. I saw it just once. However, I can say that I feel relaxed whenever I practise meditation." An Unforgettable Temple Materialism brings us all con- veniences except for tranquility and Pece of mind. This is why the majority of city people enjoy taking a trip to the seaside or rural area to get back to nature. Anyone who goes to Wat Phra Dhammakaya can enjoy not POR MO MC Phra WTA IN SINGAPORE, I WAS SOMETIMES SO BUSY. SO I HAVE NO PEACE OF MIND. WHEN I STAY HERE, CHAN- TING, MEDITATION, LIS- TENING TO LECTURES ON DHAMMA, AND RADIATE LOVING-KINDNESS EVERY DAY, IT BRINGS ME PEACE OF MIND. I AM VERY HAPPY HERE, REALLY! only its natural surroundings but also Dhamma Practice. This was recognised by Ms. Ng when she related, "I feel very well here, it's very peaceful, the surroundings are serene and relaxed. The people in the temple, especially Phet, are so friendly and treat us with great honour. They live simple and quiet lives--- not the same as people in Singapore. Really, it's the temple I shall never forget!" The Benefits of a Proper Sitting Position Mr. Choon Chin Chang, a middle- aged Managing Director of Ming Buil- ders (PTE) Ltd. in Singapore, was the only male member of Quinine's group from Singapore. Mr. Chang is a well travelled man mostly in Australia and also in Nepal, China, Japan, Eastern and Western Europe. This was his third visit to Thailand. However, this was his first visit to Wat Phra Dham- makaya, and also it was his first ex- perience of meditation. Mr. Chang achieved a certain degree of benefit from his short introduction to medita- tion. He explained, "When I first started meditation, I could see nothing at all when I closed my eyes. Towards the end of the week, considering the Buddha image, I could see light and faint details when starting to concentrate at the first base of the mind. Also I can sometimes see a large but not very bright crystal ball at the first base after one hour meditation. ๔๖ กัลยาณมิตร Kalyanamitra.org กุมภาพันธ์ ๒๕๓๒
