Note from Eng Chew Ang:
"See attached schedule that I prepared for the one day retreats.  I would like to focus the study on the Sutra of Hui Neng (the English translation of the Sutra is online).  I chose the great Buddhist Master Hui-Neng since he showed us a live example of an ordinary person who became enlightened by simply listening to one verse from the Diamond Sutra.  Also, he inspired me to deepened my practice after me reading the sutra when I was about 20 years old.  There are many great teachings we can learn from this sutra and I hope that all who read this sutra will be inspired by Hui-Neng to deepen their practice to search for true realization themselves.  Silence will be observed throughout the day during the retreat.  The lectures will be conducted ONLY in English and no translation to Chinese or other languages will be provided."
