A short pilgrimage to the Big Buddha in Hong Kong with a few members of the Sri Lankan Buddhist community in HK—a journey filled with reflection, gratitude, and a deep sense of connection to the Buddha’s teachings. The experiences reminded us of the value of community, spiritual growth, and giving back to society. I hope these shared moments bring you joy and a sense of connection with peace and Dhamma, wherever you may be.

I’m happy to share some recent moments from my ongoing social service (or Dhammadhūta) work on behalf of the Paññā Discussion Society—an organisation I founded in 2014 in Sri Lanka dedicated to sharing Dhamma, encouraging mindful practice, and promoting the study of Buddhist teachings.

Recently, I was invited to lead two special activities. The first was a guided meditation session where we reflected on the profound stanza:
Ye dhammā hetuppabhavā
tesaṃ hetuṃ Tathāgato āha
tesañca yo nirodho
evaṃvādī mahāsamaṇo

“Of those phenomena which arise from a cause,
The Tathāgata has explained the cause,
And also what brings their cessation:
This is the teaching of the Great Sage (the Buddha)

The peaceful setting, with soft rain and natural sounds, created a perfect atmosphere for group meditation.

The second activity was a short pilgrimage to the Big Buddha in Hong Kong—a journey filled with reflection, gratitude, and a deep sense of connection to the Buddha’s teachings.
Both experiences reminded me of the value of community, spiritual growth, and giving back to society. I hope these shared moments bring you joy and a sense of connection with peace and Dhamma, wherever you may be.

Five Rewards of Listening to the Dhamma

Listening to the Dhamma brings profound benefits to our lives. Here are five rewards we gain:

1. We hear what we have not heard before.
2. We clarify what we have heard before.
3. We let go of doubts.
4. Our views become straight and clear.
5. Our minds become serene and peaceful.

Let’s take time to listen, reflect, and grow together on the path of wisdom. 🙏

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is one of Asia’s top universities, consistently ranked among the top 50 globally in the QS World University Rankings.
