From 13 to 15 September, 45 participants and volunteers joined the first ‘Young Working Adults’ Stay-in Programme at Wisdom Park.

Dedicating their long holiday weekend to learning, the youths explored the theme of ‘Quality of Mind determines Quality of Life’ through Dhamma talks, experiential learning, meditation and mindful practices, and Dhamma chats.

Guided by Sis. Santī Cheang and Sis. Sunandā Ong, the youths delved into the Mahā-Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (MN 10) and put into practice mindfulness through meditations sessions, mindful walking and mindful eating.
