WMC is a friendly & supportive community founded by Bro James Ong. At present, we have Ven Ariya Nani giving regular Dhamma Talks.

 

We meet weekly to meditate, stay on course & to deepen practice. Our practice is based on the Great Discourse on the Fourfold Establishment of Mindfulness (MahaSatipatthana Sutta).

You are very welcome here anytime for practice, support and fellowship.

Bro. James Ong

Late Bro James, founding teacher, was previously ordained as a monk in Malaysian Buddhist Meditation Centre, Penang, Malaysia where his teacher Phra Dhammabarnchanvud was the founder.  

 

He was teaching Wisdom Meditation and Loving Kindness (Metta) Meditation for five decades. During these times, he stressed the importance of going back to the orthodox practice as taught by the Buddha in the Maha Satipatthana Sutta. With this aim, Bro James authored two meditation handbooks, in which he explained the practice in the simplest way possible. He also made the practice accessible and its direction clear with many daily-life examples.

"Be a lamp unto yourself". He explained, "that means, to be anchored to the Wisdom Meditation practice as taught by the Buddha in the Maha Satipatthana Sutta as your refuge. That's the lamp. That's the way to total freedom from suffering."
