Weekly submission of meditation logs and reflections;
1 hour of individual interview;
1 hour of Dhamma talk and/or Q&A;
先决条件
Join and complete at least one Equanimity Weekend Retreat;
Attend the weekly Morning Meditation Class for at least 3 months;
Submit meditation logs showing daily practice of Equanimity meditation for at least 3 months.
Subject to teacher’s approval.
常见问题

Yes. Firstly, you need to fulfill the prerequisites stated above. Secondly, your application to join the class is subject to the teacher’s approval.

The retreat teaches the basics of Equanimity method and the hindrances of meditation. These are basic knowledge that every participant should have before they can join the Equanimity Improvement Class.

The Morning Meditation Class is an extension of the Equanimity Weekend Retreat in that it allows participants to clarify their doubts with the Equanimity method and gain further Dhamma knowledge on meditation. This is necessary to ensure that you have sufficient practice, knowledge and lesser doubts to benefit from the Equanimity Improvement Class.

This is to show the teacher that participants have been practicing the Equanimity method for at least 3 months so that they are familiar with the method. It is pointless to join the class if the participants have little to no experience in the meditation method as the class will be solely focused on improving the practice on using the Equanimity meditation method.

This is for the teacher to check that your practice and knowledge are sufficient to benefit from the class. Also, since the teacher will be spending more time and effort giving individual interviews, he has to ensure that you are serious about improving your meditation using the Equanimity method.

All participants need to submit weekly meditation logs and reflections. They may even be required to submit reflections on various topics given by the teacher. The meditation logs will help the teacher ensure that every participant is practicing regularly and errors can be detected through the reflections. Finally, comments for every participant will be given during lessons on changes to be made in order to improve.

Participants are expected to submit meditation logs and reflections and attend the class every week.

Even absent from class with valid reasons, participants still need to submit their weekly meditation logs and reflections. They will need to watch the recorded videos for the lessons that they missed to catch up with the progress of the class.

在我们日常生活的喧嚣中,寻找宁静的时刻比以往任何时候都更加重要。一种因其深远影响而广受认可的实践方式是打坐。这种念的练习可以通过以下方式正面影响我们的心理健康、精神层面乃至身体健康:

一天的平静开始: 早晨打坐提供了一个宁静的开始。在清晨的静谧时刻,人们可以调整身心,为即将面对的挑战和机遇奠定积极而平静的基调。静默内省的仪式培养了内心的平静感,这种平静感会贯穿全天。
提升心理清晰度与专注力:清晨进行打坐有助于大脑重置。当意识从睡眠中苏醒时,打坐作为一种工具,能够驱散思维的迷雾,提升专注力和认知清晰度。这种增强的心理敏锐度使人们能够更高效、更有创造力地应对任务。
改善身体健康:身心联系是不可否认的,而打坐有助于整体身体的健康。研究表明,定期禅修可以降低血压、减少炎症并增强免疫功能。将打坐融入早晨的日常习惯,是迈向全面健康的重要一步。

要求捐赠的目的是为了确保报名后能实际参与课程,而非以金钱为目的。

南传佛教课程的缺课率极高,主要原因是大多数(甚至所有)南传佛教课程免费,导致参与者缺乏承诺。他们不了解组织活动或课程所需的时间、精力和资金投入。因此,许多人报名后未出席,或仅参加几次课程后便退出。这不仅浪费南传佛教组织的资源,也剥夺了其他真正对活动或课程感兴趣的佛教徒参与的机会,尤其是打坐营。

这个方法源自新加坡佛教福利协会(SBWS)。最初,SBWS 提供免费的传统中医(TCM)咨询和药物,但发现许多患者未服用处方药并随意丢弃。于是,SBWS 决定向患者收取每天 1 新元的药费。尽管费用微小,却大幅减少了药物浪费。
因此,RID 也采用此方法,以减少缺课和缺乏承诺的情况。

任何人连续两次缺席课程或累计三次缺席课程(即使不是连续的),除非有正当理由(如出去度假或生病)并且提前通知老师,否则将从名单中移除,并将空出的名额给其他人参加。如果被移除的人想要重新加入,并有更坚定的信念,请重新捐赠并注册。

如果你错过了某次课程,录像将可供回顾。期待你积极参与讨论和活动,这将有助于整体学习体验。
