Dear all,

 

Due to the poor attendance for this Sat’s session, I regret to say that it will be cancelled, unless those who are still considering whether to come or not can confirm their positive response with me by today. If there is an attendance of 5 persons and more, we will still go ahead with the session.

 

Thank you very much!

 

With metta,

Lena

Subject: 1st Mandarin Buddhist Support Services support group session this Sat

 

Dear brothers and sisters,

 

As promised, here are the details of the upcoming BSS support group session that will be held in Mandarin!

 

Date: 18 Feb (Sat)

Time: 3.45 – 6.30 pm

Venue: Shan You Counselling Centre, Blk 9 Upper Boon Keng Rd, #01-960, Singapore 380009 (5 min’ walk from Kallang MRT)

Topics: What is Counselling (by Bear) and The Buddhist Perspective on Death (by Bhikkhuni Bodhi)

 

Again, I would appreciate it very much if you can RSVP your attendance with me by 17 Feb noon so that I can prepare necessary materials for participants. Those who have attended the first session are encouraged to come as well, if you are bilingual, as even though the topics are the same, the content may be different. Please feel free to bring friends, though RSVP with me as well and do inform them that the session is for BSS volunteers so that they come with right expectations.

 

I look forward to meeting you all next Saturday. In the meantime, take care and may you be well and happy!

 

 

With metta,

Lena
