Nan Tien Temple Community Day

 

Tea Appreciation

Enjoy a moment of peace and tranquillity at our Hai Hui Hall where you can learn the art of mindful tea drinking. Mindful tea drinking is a beautiful and nourishing practice which brings a greater sense of peace and helps cultivate a strong sense of gratitude.

 

Art and Craft Stall

Our Art and Craft Stall will be offering a morning of fun and entertainment, as well as crafty evidence of a day well spent to take home and share with friends and family. Help your young ones explore self-expression, develop fine motor skills, improve memory and enhance their innovation and creativity in a fun, sociable way. Activities will include lantern-painting, bead-stringing and lots more!

 

Children's Fun Class

Our Children's Fun Class offers a place for relaxation, self-expression and socialising after a long week at school. We have a number of fun, cultural and language-based activities on offer, all with a healthy dose of exploration and amusement!

 

Meditation

Learn simple Buddhist meditation practices that encourage and develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivity and a calm seeing of the true nature of things. Observe the patterns and habits of your mind through meditation and learn how to cultivate a profoundly peaceful and energised mind. No meditation experience is necessary, classes are suitable for beginners and experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome! 

 

Family Blessing

Our Family Blessing Ceremony is a very special and unique opportunity to honour and celebrate your family under the protection and guidance of the Buddha so you may live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. Friends and relatives are very welcome to attend this ceremony which will be conducted by a Reverend in the Main Shrine under the gaze of the five Buddha's of Confidence, Longevity, Wisdom, Inner Beauty and Peace.

 

Exchange of Gift

If you're looking for a little entertainment in the form of a surprise gift, then look no further - our Exchange of Gift concept is open to everyone (not just the kids). Bring a Christmas gift along to our Community Day with a message of love, peace and harmony and you will receive a surprise gift in return from another participant! 

 

Family Drumming Workshop

Drumming is an accessible activity for all children and a great way to have fun and boost confidence quickly! Collaborative music lessons encourage children to develop their cooperative skills, boost confidence and social intelligence and enhance their creativity, all while having some fun and more importantly, creating some noise!

Jumping Castle

It is no surprise to many of us that kids just LOVE jumping castles (and some adults, too!). These inflatable structures attract children and fun-loving adults alike like ducks are drawn to water and the Temple is thrilled to be including a jumping castle at this year's Community Day. 

 

Lion Dance 

The Chinese Lion Dance is customarily performed during major year-end celebrations to herald in the new year and bring prosperity, good luck and peace. This energetic performance involves performers mimicking a lion's movements in bright costume and is enjoyed by children and adults alike. Don't forget to join us for this captivating and unique display!
