One day meditation programs targeted the Newcomers to Mitirigala Nissarana Vanaya Monastery. This was a series conducted in English. 

• We have also included a new movie clip at the end as a response to a question raised by the audience regarding the use of Mindfulness meditation by the US army soldiers. That is the official trailer from the 80 minutes long movie called ‘Free the Mind’. This complete movie will be shown at a future date during the residential retreats at Nissarana Vanaya Monastery.
