Thank you to all of you that participated in the wonderful year-end gathering and group meditation session at our Bangkok Innocent Perception Centre on 17th December, making the event a truly memorable day among old and new friends.
The gathering was the last of the year (2023) at the Bangkok meditation centre before my return to the UK for the Christmas break, and I left feeling that we have accomplished so much with such fantastic support.
Gathering for a common purpose of world peace
Group Meditation
Group Meditation: It was so nice to see the mediation hall full with people of diverse ages and backgrounds, coming together for a common purpose of making positive and peaceful change.
The guest speakers were enlightening and I’m sure we all learned something from their shared experiences, wisdom and talents.
Sharing & Caring
Everyone was well fed throughout the day with a plethora of healthy food from a huge buffet of dishes made the traditional community way with many joining in the food preparation for all to share.
Many chose to eat in the meditation centre gardens, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the sounds of birds, crickets and the waterfall.
Thanks & Blessings to Founding Donors
Building the Innocent Perception meditation centre wouldn’t have been possible without the generous help of dedicated donor Khun Krishna Petcharat (left), who donated about 4 million baht (90,000 pounds) and Khun Metta (below), who donated 3 million baht.
Khun Metta bought the land adjacent to the centre’s main building to transform into the centre’s gardens with a stone Buddha image. Blessings to her.
Healing Massage
Our Massage & Meditation team of healing massage therapists were on hand during the gathering to give guests free massages to visitors. We launched our mobile Massage & Meditation service earlier his year to offer in-house massage for businesses in Bangkok. Our team has already provided
Celebrating a year of positive change
I’m thrilled at how much progress we’ve made over the past year in establishing The Innocent Perception Centre in Thailand as a hub for practicing and promoting a pathway to inner peace, and ultimately world peace, through group meditation founded on the teachings and wisdom of Buddhism.
Our community is growing and so is our vital message to help humanity find peace and enlightenment. Earlier this year I was invited to talk for the 2nd time on the popular Thai TV talk show ‘Joh-Jai (piercing the heart), which is watched by millions of viewers. Read more about the TV interview. We’ve also held several meditation and mindfulness sessions at the centre with more participants joining each time.
Thank you so much to all of you for your dedication and blessings to you all at this time of positive change as we look forward to another year packed with community-oriented events at The Innocent Perception Centre in 2024.
