Dust in Our Eyes: Part 2 | Venerable Hue Can | 3 October 2025
28 oktober 2025 · 1 uur 19 min
Venerable Hue Can is the Abbess of Sunyata Meditation Centre in Vic Park and has the very clear goal to teach others how to realise their full potential through Zen Buddhism. Venerable Hue Can had an interesting and diverse career as a teacher, children’s librarian and co-ordinator of the Ethnic Child Care Resource Unit. As an advocate for access and equity she have worked in the area of social welfare, particularly in the Vietnamese community in Western Australia. When the Most Venerable Master Thich Thanh Tu came to Perth in 1996 she was fortunate to attend his lecture "Why am I a Buddhist”. She found out that Buddhism could give her five things that she had always been searching for – wisdom, altruism, freedom, equality and emancipation. She wanted to become his disciple and follow the path that he had illuminated. Her first ordination occurred in 1998. Lees meer
Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it’s a time for deepening their own practice.

Ajahn Brahmali conducts an intermediate/advanced meditation class for approximately one hour. Lees meer
Ajahn speaks on two methods that can lead to the letting go process to happen naturally during our meditation. At the start of our meditation, we can guide our minds towards what is important and valuable in this life. Also, when we have enough mindfulness and awareness during our meditation to let things be, letting go will happen naturally when the causes and conditions are right.
