Hey there! For those who signed up for the run this evening, we will not be going ahead with the outdoor run due to PSI levels being in the unhealthy range. Instead, we’ll have one of our community leaders guide us in a yoga sequence! 🧘🏻 (albeit outdoors) Alongside our usual 5min opening and closing meditation, and optional dinner after :) No sign-ups nor yoga mats required, gathering at the same time and place!

Last Sunday, we held DAYWA Cares event at Metta Home, where we made lanterns together with the residents! 🌕🏮 What we did: • Coloured and built the lantern together! They will be bringing their lanterns aroud the neighbourhood when they celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival soon ✨️️️️️️️ • Sang Karaoke together 🎤🎵 Everyone had a great time, the place was filled with joy! 😄 Being generous about our time and efforts not only brought joy to them, but also gave out volunteers joy of serving 💛 A simple good deed that lifts up everyone’s hearts 😌🍃 Check out our IG Reel for a recap of what we did!

Good AM folkss! Last weekend, 40 of us came to Dharma Drum Mountain Singapore for DAYWA’s first Mindful Coffee Session! ☕️🙏 We tasted more than 10 pourover coffees (mindfully, I hope 😆), while taking a little time to practise being present with something as simple as a cup of coffee. May we continue to bring that same awareness into the ordinary moments of our daily lives by noticing, appreciating, and being present with things as they are. Hope to see you again! 🌱

Thanks for coming for our DAYWA Discussions session yesterday :) We spent the morning looking at something ordinary, but prevalent: comparison. We compare all the time. Someone gets promoted, seems more accomplished or more liked, and the mind can start making it about who we are. One takeaway from the contemporary research was that comparison is human. The question is what happens when it lands. To read more, the paper is in the comments below. AN 8.6 gave us another way to look at this. Life brings changes in fortune, recognition and status to everyone. What differs is whether these conditions come to take over the mind. SN 45.162 pushes this further: the mind can measure itself against others and decide it is ahead, behind, or about the same. Somewhere along the way, “they have something I don’t” can subtly become “there is something wrong with me.” Comparison may arise. We don’t always have to be consumed by it. Join us for our weekly DAYWA Sits session on Wednesday! https://t.me/daywasg/2219

Summer has come and passed~ Join us on Wednesday, 2 Sep, 8PM-9.30 PM, for two 15-20 minute online guided sits.

🪷 Three Paths. One Buddha. What does it actually mean to practise Theravāda, Mahāyāna or Vajrayāna Buddhism? And beyond the labels, what might each tradition offer someone seeking freedom from suffering? 🙏 Join us for an open conversation with three lay practitioners, each representing one of these traditions. Rather than a history lesson, we’ll hear their personal journeys: how they encountered Buddhism, what drew them to their tradition, how they practise, and what they have come to understand about the Buddhist path. 🔎 RSVP here to save your slot!!! https://luma.com/78qivuc9
