Monk Burin offers Dhamma Teaching in Fall Semester at Columbia University.

On Thursday, October 16, 2025, the Columbia University Buddhist Association (CUBA) welcomed Monk Burin and his team from The Middle Way Temple, New York, for a special Dhamma teaching. Around 30 CUBA members gathered in the Choir Room at St. Paul’s Chapel for a serene evening of chanting, meditation, and insightful wisdom.

The evening began with Nadia, the new president of CUBA, introducing Monk Burin. The session included chanting led by three monks from The Middle Way Temple, followed by a 20-minute meditation session.

Monk Burin then delivered an inspiring talk on “The Power of Luminous Mind,” highlighting the transformative effects of meditation on mental clarity and inner peace.

Participants shared feelings of deep calm and were moved by the teachings. Afterward, many stayed to engage in thoughtful discussions with the monks, expressing gratitude and enthusiasm for the event.

MMF #13 No Self is the New Self

On Saturday, October 4, 2025 between 9.30-11.00 AM (New York Local Time), The Middle Way Institute (MWI) organized a global session via zoom to connect all The Middle Way Friends from around the world. There are peace-loving participants from 22 countries attending: USA, UK, Russia, China, Colombia, Jordan, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Netherlands, France, Israel, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Hungary, South Africa, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.

The program started with a peaceful guided meditation by Monk Burin. After that, there was a request of 5 Caring Ethics (5 Silas) before the Fund Offering. The Offering in October was led by Kosal Ley from Cambodia in Pali and Peggy Sie Geok Choo from Singapore in English. Subsequently, the monastic community gave a Pali blessing to all patrons and volunteers. Several participants felt uplifted after the offering and blessing from teaching monks.

Furthermore, there was a time for a deeper connection. Mayuko Vermeulen from Japan gave an inspiring message in The Middle Way Sharing. Monk Burin delivered a wisdom talk on “No Self is the New Self.” Finally, all participants were invited to interact casually in 4 smaller groups of house meeting. It was such a valuable time once a month for The Middle Way Friends to practice Giving, Ethics and Meditation together and exchange our meditation and wisdom experiences.

Want to join the next event? Mark your calendar for the next MMF #14 on Saturday, Nov 1, 2025 from 09.30-11.00 AM (New York Local Time) via Zoom. And please e-mail us, info@themiddleway.org.
