Exploring the Truths Series – Exploring the Wheel of Life

The Wheel of Life is a Buddhist depiction of the circumstances and driving forces of our daily experiences of happiness and suffering, providing a pictorial representation of the Buddhist teaching of Four Noble Truths. By contemplating the different aspects of this diagram, we can bring about a better understanding of our own situation and the underlying habitual tendencies that either help or hinder our search for fulfilment and satisfaction. In this half-day workshop we will engage in a series of guided meditations that reveal our own version of the Wheel of Life and the means to step out of it into a state of liberation from suffering.

All are welcome; no prerequisite required.

Each workshop consists of two sessions with a mixture of explanations, guided meditations and time for discussion or Q&A.

Meet the Teacher: Wai Cheong Kok

Wai Cheong Kok is from Singapore. He has been teaching meditation and Buddhism since 1996, with a special interest in making available the benefits of meditation to a wider audience. 

From 2006-2015 and starting from 2020, he has served as a senior teacher at Vajrayana Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist Centre affiliated to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). 

After studying Dharma for several years, Wai Cheong set out to deepen his understanding of spiritual practice by completing the first 7-year Masters program in Advanced Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy from 1998-2004. This was followed by a four month solitary retreat in New Zealand.
