Meditation Retreat at KT

Since June 2006, I had my last retreat at KT with my Teacher, Ven. Sujiva. since then I have not seen him for more than 5 years.

Welcome back for 2011 retreat at KT!

It is my pleasure, with the arising of the right conditions, to be able to join this KT Retreat again.

This time, with an entourage of substantial European meditators or yogis following Ven. Sujiva coming to Malaysia for this retreat.

It is delightful to see that after more than 10 years, Ven. Sujiva has succeeded in spreading the Teaching of Meditation in Europe.

When retreat coming to an end, witnessing a tree planting ceremony to commemorate for this International Retreat, attending by various nationalities. Each nationality planted a different specie of tree on behalf of his country.

A place of Worship - The four Great Heavenly Kings-

according to the Buddhist faith, these four Guardian gods

live in the heaven of Caturmaharajika. Each of whom takes

care one direction of world: King Dhatarattha (East),

King Virulhaka (West), King Virupakkha (South) and

King Vessuvana (North). They are the protectors of

the world, fighters of the evils, protecting Buddha-Dhamma

and Buddha followers from danger. Pray for風調雨順...
