A Day of Mindfulness with Wake Up Singapore
Sitting quietly in the bamboo forest, the Sangha’s presence was embraced by the gentle breeze and the warmth of the morning sun. The silence of nature slowly lent itself to the cheerful singing of the young people. The fresh air was filled with the love and the joy of a simple gathering of hearts and mind. Wake up to the beauty in you.
