Chandigarh, May 30, 2013: Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre (MIMC), Leh-Ladakh will conduct 17 short-term silent meditation camps this summer starting from June 2 to September 11.
Each camp will be of three days duration. People seeking immediate physical and psychological relaxation can avail this opportunity in the beautiful, calm and heavenly environment of Ladakh at a nominal contribution.
The camp related enquiries can be made at 09872804369.
Narvijay Yadav, Secretary, MIMC Chandigarh Branch said, “The 3-day meditation camps will be conducted by Buddhist monk Bhikkhu Sanghasena and the programme will be based on the essence of the Buddha's teachings. Sanghasena is an experienced meditation teacher and well known internationally for his contributions in multifarious humanitatian and spiritual services. He has touched the hearts of thousands of people through his popular slogan ‘Compassion in Action and Meditation in Action’.”
Bhikkhu Sanghasena, Founder President, MIMC, Leh-Ladakh, said, “This Meditation is neither a set of religious beliefs nor a set of ritualistic practices. It is purely a scientific technique which purifies the human mind. This enlightening meditation is the fruit of a most intensive research conducted over a long period of time by a compassionate noble prince whose heart was going out to help suffering beings. This flower of mankind is the Buddha who lived and taught this wonderful scientific technique of meditation 25 centuries ago in India. This illuminating meditation has been the greatest contribution of Lord Buddha to the mankind.”
The participants of this programme will be required to keep silent for three days and will not be allowed to use phone, internet, television or newspapers. They will stay at the camp site and simple vegetarian food will be served to them.
MIMC is a great example of one man's vision turning into reality. Bhikkhu Sanghasena established MIMC in 1986 to offer both spiritual instructions as well as desperately needed humanitarian services to impoverished people in the remote land of Ladakh. A dedicated team of social workers, teachers, doctors, monks, nuns, community leaders and care-providers have created an integrated community at Devachan in Ladakh which provides comprehensive care to all segments of society including children, elderly, special needs individuals, monks and nuns, the sick, as well as those seeking spiritual development.
