[Week 13] Mindful Living
Mindfulness extends beyond the time you spent meditating on the cushion — it is a practice that we can weave into every moment, no matter how busy life gets. In fact, life's busyness offers a valuable opportunity to cultivate mindfulness and inner calm to face life's inevitable challenges. 😌🕊
As we wrap things up after months of hard work in school or work, let's take a step back and come together for the last session of this semester! We are once again grateful to invite Dharma Drum, who will lead us through some mindfulness exercises and stretches, teaching us how to incorporate mindfulness in our daily lives. 🧘♂️
📅 9 Apr 2025
🕒 7:30 – 9:00 PM
📍 SOE/SCIS2 CR3-3
No registration is required. All are welcome, see you there :D This session is on Wednesday, as usual 😊

[Summer] Mindfulness in the Digital Age: Finding Balance in a Hyper-Connected World
"Doomscrolling" has become a modern habit—an unhealthy refuge we often turn to in times of stress. Buddhism, however, offers a gentler path: inward reflection through mindfulness.
Join us on 31 July as SMUDC is grateful to invite Siling Tongkhor Rinpoche, a Tibetan monk from India, who will share practical meditation techniques that we can apply in our daily lives in navigating our emotions.
The session will also feature Rinpoche sharing a simple meditative practice of making symbolic water offerings to the Buddha. This serves as a short, cheap & simple mindfulness practice that helps us experience the joy of giving and contentment amidst our busy lives.
