Awake: Finding Clarity Through Buddhist Practice
with Ven. Aileen

Drawing from timeless Buddhist methods, this introduction offered simple yet profound practices for cultivating mindfulness, compassion, and insight, whether participants were new to meditation or seeking to deepen their awareness.

We examined core teachings of the Buddha and explored methods to deepen our insight into the nature of our own minds, allowing us to meet life with greater openness and ease.
