Meditation and Life's Perspective

Who am I?

​

Hi, I am Dr Jerome. I am a Buddhist practitioner who has learnt from Theravada, Mahayana and Tibetan traditions and is still learning! I first learnt meditation and Dharma from Theravadan monks and practitioners in the lineage of the Arahant Venerable Amatha Gavesi Maha Thero from Sri Lankaramaya Buddhist temple in Singapore. During an overseas work opportunity, I learnt the ten chakras from Zen Master Wu Jue Miao Tian (85th Zen Patriach) from the LingJi lineage in Taiwan in 2014 – 2015. Subsequently, I completed a Diploma in Buddhism from the Buddhist and Pali College in 2016 and learnt from High Eminence Garchen Rinpoche from the Drigar Thubten Dargye Ling tradition (Tibetan) and attended annual Om Mani Padme Hum and Om Ami Dewa Hrih retreats from 2015 till date. Currently, I am a disciple of Master Jin Bodhi (Mahayana) from Bodhi Meditation in Singapore and is an active volunteer there. Master Jin Bodhi is his main Dharma teacher.

 

The purpose of this platform

​

Meditation is life skill suitable for everyone and is not bounded by religion, culture, nationality or age. For those with interest in meditation, it is important to learn meditation with the right purpose from the start. I am not an expert but I hope to give to share my insights on how to meditate safely with everyone. There are many different types of meditation techniques and this platform will share information on how to meditate safely rather than focus on a particular technique.

There are many references from quotes and advices from eminent Buddhist meditation masters in this platform. While meditation is not bounded by religion, it is taught by the Buddha and other meditation masters. Just as a student need to respect and listen to a respectable teacher (Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim) in order to learn a skill, meditators need to learn and listen to advices given by those who are skilled at it (Buddha, meditation masters,etc). Hope everyone finds this resource useful!
