We are especially joyous to once again receive guidance from Venerable Dr. G. Chandima, who will lead us through the one-day retreat this Saturday. This month's theme focuses on Karuṇā (compassion), and it is a particularly opportune time to reflect on this quality of heart as we navigate the world’s disarray.
The Buddha taught that there are five rewards to listening to the Dhamma: one hears what one has not heard before, clarifies what one has heard before, removes doubt, straightens one’s views, and brings serenity to the mind. May we offer ourselves the conditions for stillness and peace.
There’s still time to register for the retreat—scan the QR code or visit www.kalyanamitta.org/ovada to sign up. Registration closes on Thursday, June 19.
One Week to Go 🙏
Join us for Ovāda: Encouragements from Dhamma Teachers, a one-day retreat offered to bring guidance and clarity as we deepen our practice of the Dhamma.
This month, we welcome again Ven. Dr. G. Chandima, who will guide us through the theme: “Karuṇā: Quiet Power, Boundless Heart.” Together, we will explore how compassion (karuṇā) — not as sentiment, but as quiet strength — is cultivated and expressed through the heart.

🕘 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Venue will be in Muntinlupa City (9 minutes away from Alabang-Skyway Toll Plaza). Final venue details will be shared upon successful registration.
🧘♀️ Open to all, whether new to the path or walking it for some time.
