    Notes and Events:

    Purpose –  I am willing to share my 20 ha of forested land so that others may live and work in native forest and with Nature, guided by Buddhist philosophy.

    Teachings  Available Here  – I am willing to teach some forest meditation to a willing student, based on my experience of daily meditation practice since 1982.

    My Buddhist Background - I trained at the Buddhist Society of Vic in the 1980’s under Dhammika, attended a variety of Buddhist meditation retreats in the 80’s and 90’s, attended talks each week at the BSWA throughout 1995, 96 and 2002,  and I trained in the Buddhist monastery 99-01.  

    My Approach to Buddhist Philosophy – is non clerical; I adapt Buddhist ideas out of their original religious setting and into a form that reflects my own experience of following the Path since 1982.  I am most influenced by the writings of Eckhart Tolle, Shakti Gawain and Harvey Jackins.  I refer to Nyanatiloka’s works.

    My 11,000 word treatise on http://noldorathforestcomm.weebly.com  defines my approach to Healing and Spiritual Practice.

    Location - 25 km SW of Gin Gin, 4 hours drive North of Brisbane, in the foothills past the coastal plain.

    Facilities - simple,  close to Nature  -  BYO camping gear and/or borrow mine

    Transport - I can email you “Directions when Driving”.   Or I can pick you up from Gin Gin.  The train arrives in Bundaberg in late afternoon – you might have to sleep the night on the roadside when hitching from the train station.

    Cost – by donation and/or your labour contribution.

    Meditation and inspirational readings - as needed by those present. 

    Contact me  by email if you’d like to stay here, and detail your experience in Buddhism and/or meditation, and whether you’re fit for manual work (a man’s work!) or willing to pay for the Council rates ($40 pw) instead, and whether you’ll bring all your own camping gear.

    Our goal is twofold:

    To accomplish this, the PLLCA first emphasizes the foundation studies of

    Guidelines for Being a Good Person,

    Accounts of Request and Response, Changing Destiny,

    the Ten Virtuous Karmas Sutra, and Precepts for Novice Monks.

    These texts are the foundation in the study of

    morality, ethics, causality, wisdom, and science.

    Building on this foundation, students will progress to advanced studies

    in the five Pure Land sutras and one treatise.

    Notes and Events:

    Founded in 1989 by the late teacher Zen Master Seung Sahn, internationally renowned Grand Master of the Kwan Um School of Zen, the Queensland Zen Centre – Dae Kwang Sa or “Great Light Temple” is a residential training temple for students of Zen Buddhism. 

    The temple offers a training program consisting of daily meditation practice, monthly retreats, and introductory courses for persons interested in discovering their life direction.  In awakening the Bodhisattva ideal, one’s essence is realized and spontaneously functions for the benefit of all beings.

    The formal aspects of Zen training consist of sitting and bowing meditation, chanting of sutras, and kong-an practice, a process of direct inquiry into one’s true nature as it appears in each moment.  The temple’s resident teacher oversees all aspects of Zen training including giving Dharma talks and kong-an interviews.

    The temple’s resident teacher is Zen Master Sen Shin.  An ordained nun since 1990, Zen Master Sen Shin received transmission in Zen Master Seung Sahn’s lineage from Zen Master Dae Gak in 2006.

    Zen Master Sen Shin also oversees the teaching at the Queensland Zen Centre’s practice groups at Nundah (Nundah Zen Group) in Brisbane and at Runaway Bay (Gold Coast Zen Group) at the Gold Coast.

    According to Ven. Huyen Dat, the Tuong Quang Buddhist Monastery has two
    main goals to fulfil the needs of ethnic community services:-

    1. Strengthen the organisation to guide daily life matching with Buddhist
    practice path.

    2. Engage actively to bring Buddhist practice into daily life.
    Besides the above goals, this Monastery has been applying the following basic
    spiritual cultivation in order to nourish the true happiness in individual or
    community activities:-

    (a) Avoid committal of cruel, evil actions. Not doing anything that causes
    suffering to others;
    (b) Trying to perform good deeds. These actions are harmless but also benefit
    ourselves and others;
    (c) Keep a calm and pure mind to prevent bad karma, which comes from our
    thoughts.

    These are the vital basic matters which help people cultivate themselves.
