Right Information and Inspirations

Transforming Limitations to Opportunity

The journey of wisdom is to discover the potential that each and everyone of us has. Wisdom is like a torch that shines light on the darkness that has been misperceived as bad and frightening. Are you willing to discover that the unpolished stone (limitations) is actually a diamond (opportunity)?

Thinking vs Understanding

In the spiritual journey, we may face frustration when things don’t appear the way we think they should be. There was awareness but something was also missing in bringing about the turnaround. Do listen to a sharing by a practitioner who noticed all the tendencies burping up until there was some willingness and interest to listen to Right Information about how the mind works, something magical happened.

Not Just the End Result

The Sri Langkasuka Retreat Village (SLRV) is not the means to an end for all who are involved. It is a moment-to-moment cultivation of wholesomeness and noble intentions. Every step we take brings about the end result because every step is the result itself.

When I Am Healed, I Am Not Healed Alone

Am I happy…? I used to ask myself. Sometimes the answer was yes and sometimes no, just like every other person. If yeses were more, I would be happier, so I had to pull and hold onto situations that created more yeses and push away whatever created the nos. It required so much of my energy, yet the promised happiness was always fleeting, never to stay.

A Most Precious Gift

For those of us aspiring to cultivate the mind towards liberation, we know all too well that our worldly environment is not conducive for our practice. Thus the need, every now and then, to breakaway and attend a retreat away from it all. Wouldn't it be great if we have a second home, a retreat centre, which we can go to intermittently?

Not a Coincident

I became interested in the spiritual path in a later part of my life. Although I live a comfortable life in Australia and have a satisfying career in the medical field, I suffered from stress with my patients, relatives, and surrounding events. Questions like long lasting happiness, the meaning of life, what good can sciences and technologies do to humankind arose in my mind.

Item 1 of 6

We are officially launched!

A Community. A Village.

It was 20 years ago when both our teachers, Hor Tuck Loon and Chan Lai Fun came across the beautiful teaching and since then we have been benefitting so much from their sharing. Without a doubt, we knew we had to share this beautiful understanding to extend the same wisdom and compassion that many others had been seeking but did not have the opportunity to come close to.

Thousands of minds have since benefited from it and many lives have changed for the better through learning about the nature of their minds. Together we have grown as a community, as a family. With many spread out all over the world, meeting up is a challenge. However, with the internet and Zoom as supportive causes and conditions, the sharing and learning continue in tandem.

Our Vision

The vision and inspiration of a village as a Home for our community, our family, have been on our minds for a while now. Why a village? A village is a settlement of a group of people that resides harmoniously together for a mutual benefit. Similarly, our community is where sharings, discussions and learnings support one another as we walk on this journey together.

Location

We have identified a beautiful piece of land in the locality of Kedah with a rich history of a long and thriving ancient civilization. The instant connection of its ancestral roots and sacred atmosphere felt like a homecoming. There are no coincidences. We are confident that with all the right supportive causes and conditions, this village will be a place where we can gather, dwell and abide in the most purposeful and beneficial way for the highest happiness of all. In that way, we live the teachings and extend it as One.

In this day and age where such a way of life is rare, let us walk the talk and be an example to inspire others of how understanding our minds and growing wisdom is truly the way to transcend suffering and wake up from this illusion. May the love and support of each and every one of you manifest our village easefully and swiftly so that more can benefit from it.

A Restful Mind is unlike any other rests.

Noble Giving

Giving is an understanding, as there is the awareness that the receiving end is benefiting from it.
To give for the sake of alleviating another’s suffering is noble. Would you be willing to give if the receiving end is striving towards the noble goal of ending the root of suffering that is found within the mind? Would you give whole-heartedly wishing that he or she will achieve the goal that is hard to come by? Would you then give with absolute joy that there are still such 'noblers' who wish to walk such a difficult Path that many wise ones have trodden and finally found Total Freedom?

We are offering you the gift of giving. The gift of supporting a retreat village for those who wish to enter the noble strive. Your support entails freedom from suffering. It is A Noble Giving indeed.
