Notes and Events:
Open Sky is a group of gay, lesbian, bisexual,straight, and transgendered people with a common interest in Buddhism. We are open to newcomers, seasoned Buddhists, and everyone in between. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at the New York Insight Meditation Center in New York City.
We are dedicated to providing our members with a diverse and inclusive experience of the dharma. This means that we embrace the wide array of lineages and traditions that exist within Buddhism.
We are a completely self-sustaining and independent organization so we have complete autonomy with regard to our meeting formats and speakers. This gives us the freedom to explore and learn about different ways of meditating from different teachers. We have the unique opportunity to meet as peers and to speak freely about our individual approaches to practice.
We provide a space for reflection, discussion, mutual support, and learning. Each meeting begins with meditation instruction and a brief period of sitting. Our meetings focus on assigned readings as well as readings we will do as a group that cover a rich and diverse overview of relevant Buddhist teachings and topics.
Members are encouraged to share their personal experiences regarding their personal practice and spiritual journey.
We realize that all of us are both students and teachers at different moments of our lives--we all have something to teach and we all have something to learn.
Everyone is valuable and everyone is welcome regardless of religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or previous meditation experience.

Notes and Events:
PA-AUK MEDITATION CENTRE (SINGAPORE)
Pa-Auk Meditation Centre (\'PAMC), established as a direct lineage of the Pa-Auk Forest Monastery (Pa-Auk), Mawlamyine, Myanmar, received the strong endorsement and support of The Most Venerable Pa-Auk Tawya Sayadaw Bhaddanta Ᾱciṇṇa (the Sayadaw), the Abbot of Pa-Auk. PAMC is dedicated to the Sangha of Pa-Auk (the Sangha\\) as led by the Sayadaw, and draws its spiritual direction from the Sayadaw.
PAMC was registered in Singapore on 20 August 2007, and its registration was gazetted in the Singapore Government Gazette Notification No. 2555 dated 22 August 2007.
OUR MISSION
PAMC serves to promote the learning and practice of Samatha and Vipassanā meditation, based on the teachings of Lord Gotama Buddha, as taught by the Sayadaw at Pa-Auk.
PAMC\\\'s principal activities include the following:
- providing a conducive venue for the learning and practice of meditation under the guidance of resident teacher(s)
- organizing regular meditation retreats, courses and Dhamma talks (based on the Tipiṭaka, the Pāli Texts and the Commentaries), taught by teachers authorized by the Sayadaw (and/or the Sangha)
- publishing of Dhanmma books and CDs of Dhamma talks approved by Pa-Auk.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to establish a meditation retreat centre with an environment that encourages the observance of the Vinaya and precepts, and conducive for the long-term practice by both monastics and lay meditators. The retreat centre is envisaged to have separate facilities for male and female meditators, including separate meditation halls and residential facilities, providing a certain degree of solitude and minimum distraction.
Our longer term vision is to have a Sangha residing in Singapore, forming part of the larger Pa-Auk Sangha, so that the Sadhamma (true teachings of the Buddha) can be taught and practised, can take root, develop and sustain, and will flourish in Singapore and beyond, for the welfare and happiness of all.
OUR LOGO
PAMCs Logo, comprising the Asoka Lion Pillars topped by the Wheel of Dhamma, is similar to that of Pa-Auk. The Logo encompasses the following key features :
- It symbolizes PAMCs lineage of Pa-Auk Forest Monastery
- Lion is representative of the Buddha in many ways; Lion also symbolizes Singapore, the Lion City
- The words Sīla (morality), Samādhi (Concentration), Paññā (Wisdom) as inscribed on the Wheel of Dhamma, represent the undertaking of Threefold Training (of the Noble Eightfold Path) that will systematically purify ones body, speech and mind (of defilements) in order to realize Nibbana, a state of supreme peace and happiness
The Logo hence depicts PAMCs direct lineage to Pa-Auk, and its aspiration to be the place where :
- The true teachings of the Buddha (the Sadhamma) are taught, and the Wheel of Dhamma turns,
- The Threefold Training is undertaken and practised, can take root, developed and sustained, will flourish in Singapore and beyond, for the welfare and happiness of all.
