Welcome
We are a community of practitioners that welcomes everyone. Won-Buddhism is a modern form of Buddhism established in 1916 in Korea. Our goal is to cultivate spiritual strength so that we may attain freedom from suffering and unhappiness.
While our regular services and meditations are held at our temple in Surrey, we also hold bi-weekly meditation sessions on Saturdays at our Burnaby residence. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in Buddhism or meditation. Our contact information is listed below.
Summer Retreat, "Calm, Clear, and Present"
Meditation supports our health by harmonizing and balancing the energy of body and mind, while cultivating calm awareness. In this lovely season of warmth and brightness, give yourself the gift of a day of relaxation!
Our special guest teacher, Rev. WonGong from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, will guide us through various forms of meditation to access the inner calm and spaciousness that is always within us.
The special features of this day-long retreat will include:
Meditation basics
How gratitude and the Threefold Practice can be applied in everyday life
Nourishing chi-energy through qigong movement, sound bathing & mindful eating
All levels of practitioners are welcome to this life-enhancing day of noble silence and fellowship. To maintain the vessel of the practice community, please plan to arrive by 9:50 AM and stay until 5 PM.
A nutritious vegetarian lunch, tea, and refreshments will be provided.
