Dear friends,
We would like to cordially invite you to join us at the celebration of the most important Buddhist holiday of the year, Vesākha, which will take place
on May 5th, 2018 in the ārāma Karuṇā Sevena.
On this day, the Vesākha reminds us about the Birth, Awakening and Enlightenment of Siddhattha Gotama - the Buddha. We have a possibility to listen to the Dhamma, meet the monastic Saṅgha and share with friends from Karuṇā Sevena.
Karuṇā Sevena will host our residing venerable bhikkhunī Visuddhi therī. It is an ancient tradition to donate gifts to monks and nuns on the Vesākha celebration. This act of your generosity (dāna) brings better life conditions for the monastic Saṅgha, helps to your own feelings of joy and leads to your better kamma.
The celebration will take place in our completely redesigned ārāma Karuṇā Sevena and also in Viveka - a residence for visitors of the ārāma.
We would like to invite all interested parties to join us at this joyful even and/or support our ongoing project of creating a beautiful space of quiet contemplation and meditation, a place created for dwelling, quieting one’s mind and reflexion.
Programme of the day:
9:00 Preparation of the celebration
11:00 Buddha Pūja and receiving of a Triple Gem refuge
11:30 Dāna
13:00 Chanting: Blessing of Viveka
14:00 Dhammadesanā (Dhammatalk)

"Right view, right view' it is said.To what extent is a disciple of the noble ones a person of right view, one whose view is made straight, who is endowed with verified confidence in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma?
When a disciple of the noble ones discerns what is unskillful, discerns the root of what is unskillful, discerns what is skillful, and discerns the root of what is skillful, it is to that extent that he is a person of right view, one whose view is made straight, who is endowed with verified confidence in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma.
When a disciple of the noble ones discerns what is unskillful in this way, discerns the root of what is unskillful in this way, discerns what is skillful in this way, and discerns the root of what is skillful in this way, when — having entirely abandoned passion-obsession, having abolished aversion-obsession, having uprooted the view-&-conceit obsession 'I am'; having abandoned ignorance & given rise to clear knowing — he has put an end to suffering & stress right in the here-&-now, it is to this extent that a disciple of the noble ones is a person of right view, one whose view is made straight, who is endowed with verified confidence in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma."
