Ken Pao's Dharma Talk 8/16/2009 at 10AM

Dear Dharma friends,
We would like to invite you to join our Dharma talk by Ken Pao on Sunday Aug. 16th.
Ken has been studying Buddhism since 1993. He has deep understanding of Buddha’s teaching from both Mahayana and Theravada traditions and has also practiced “Emptiness Meditation”, “Zen meditation”, and “Insight meditation”. Ken is currently leading the Insight Meditation Group and the “Middle-Way” Discourse Study Group in the temple.
Ken’s Dharma talk will touch upon the following topics:
1. How practical is the Buddha’s teaching for the lay person?
2. According to the Theravada tradition, what is the most important stage in the enlightened
path?
3. Can the precepts, concentration, and wisdom be accomplished in one single practice?

Hope to see you this Sunday!
Meditation, Kwan Yin Hall, 9:00 – 10:00 AMDharma talk, Kwan Yin Hall, 10:15 – 11:15 AM

Creativity by Ven Thanissaro shows us how to practice consistently. ( http://www.watmetta.org/ ).
