Dengan Muditacittena, saya menginfokan kabar baik ini... Penulis buku *Buddha Abhidhamma "Ultimate Science"*, yaitu *Dr Mehm Tin Mon, BScHons, MSc, PhD* akan hadir di Jakarta dan selama ± selama 10 hari akan memberikan kursus intensif untuk membedah isi buku tersebut. Selama ini kita tahu bahwa; baik itu materi, wadah, maupun kesempatan untuk mengenal dan belajar Abhidhamma sungguh terbatas di Indonesia. Nah, kali ini merupakan kesempatan/berkah bagi kita untuk, selain belajar mengenal juga dibina langsung oleh penulis bukunya. Free of charge alias gratis... malah dikasih kesempatan untuk berdana (kusala-kamma)... Sekilas mengenai sosok *Dr Mehm Tin Mon, BScHons, MSc, PhD* (saya kutip langsung): Was born in Kamawet Village, Mudon Township, Mon State; Burma, on 13thJanuary, 1934.

It explains all the discourses of the Buddha very clearly in terms of Ultimate Realities. Actually, we all can understand all the teachings of the Buddha very vividly in depth only when we can grasp the essence of Buddha Abhidhamma. To understand the teachings of the Buddha in depth is the most beneficial thing in life." He calls Abhidhamma knowledge, the most valuable knowledge in life. ~ ------------------------------ Kursus ini akan dilaksanakan di: *Graha Dharma Sukha (Vihara Pluit Dharma Sukha)* *Jl Pluit Permai I, No: 26* *Jakarta Utara* *Telp: (021)-6660.5358 & 660.2725* Pendaftaran via SMS: *08178.RONNY(6669)* *08178.YUWEI(98934)* Dengan mencantumkan: *~ Kata sandi: DAFTAR ABHIDHAMMA* *~ Nama lengkap* *~ Email* *~ Alamat/domisili, &* *~ No telepon CDMA/PSTN...* Untuk informasi lebih lanjut, bisa hubungi telepon: Ronny: (021)-9226.4799 Yu-Wei: (021)-9289.5758 Ini sungguh kesempatan baik yang langka bagi kita semua; jangan lah disia²kan...
