Panditavagga - The Wise : Neither for the sake of oneself nor for the sake of another (a wise person does any wrong); he should not desire sons, wealth, or kingdom (by doing wrong); by unjust means he should not desire his own success. Then (only) such a one is indeed virtuous, wise, and righteous. Dhammapada Verse 84.

29 youths attended the program on Sunday the 5th of December 2004. We started the day by taking the 8 precepts, doing the ana-panasati meditation and listening to the morning sermon conducted by Ven. Wimalananda. We then had a guided metta meditation session lead by Ven. Pasanna Manasa, followed by a group reading session of Spectrum of Buddhism by Piyadassi Thera. After lunch we went outside in the warm sun for walking meditation (sakman bhavana). We then got into groups to discuss and share our ideas about problems we face in our everyday lives and how to deal with them in the Buddhist way. The lunch (dana) was kindly prepared and donated by the parents of the attendees.
