The ‘Servants of the Buddha’ organised a lecture on ‘Meditation’ disseminated by Ven.Olande Ananda, in Colombo, recently.
The meeting was chaired by the president of the organization, Anoja Wijeyesekera, and commenced with the observance of ‘Saranagamana’ and ‘Pansil’ administered by Ven. Olande Ananda.
Before the meditation commenced, the Ven. thera gave a brief explanation on why meditation is important for the development of the mind, and spoke about the difference and similarity between Samatha and Vipassana Meditation.
Thereafter, the prelate proceeded to guide the audience on ‘Metta Meditation’ and gradually moved on to ‘Anapana sati Meditation’. The session was followed by a discussion and the meeting terminated with the offering of merit to all living beings.
