Not for me. Only know about pujas. Guess the sangha are busy preparing for CNY pujas.
awareness place has dharma talk every thursday at bras basah.
buddhist library at aljunied, kuang ming shan at bishan, meta school at simei also has it every week.
Awareness place's dharma talk is in english only.
meta school one is in chinese only.
karma choying also has a small discussion every week and a whole day dharma talk every month, their topic is free for all, you can ask questions related to all school and lineage of buddhism. highly recommended.
So have you found any dharma talks in this week?
Anyway yesterday I have been listening to talks by Gil Fronsdal. I copied some parts of the talk
| Buddha Nature | 09/19/04 | [Download] | [Play] | 38:59 |
to Thusness, which Thusness thinks is 'very good and very experienced'. It's about Buddha-Nature, mindfulness practice, and non-duality.
The other talks by him are also very good, on a wide range of topics. http://www.audiodharma.org/talks-gil.html
