Yeap, I went to join this meditation camp specifically for pregnant mother. The reason I joined is because there is a meditation camp for pregnant mother. and after I joined this camp, i got a shock, there isn't 90% of sitting meditation like the retreat i went before.
I kind of liking this metta camp. Aims to cultivate Metta in ourselves, in our family in our heart.
As usual, it all started with introduction to Metta Camp by Sister Mei Yan, the.. main organiser or the chairman.

Sayalay Uttara is from Dhamma Earth, Kuala Lumpur. During her university years,
she developed a deep interest in the Dhamma and actively participated in various
Buddhist activities.
After being introduced to meditation, she was profoundly
inspired and felt that she had found a sense of spiritual belonging and inner peace.
After graduating, Sayalay Uttara dedicated herself to Buddhist work, serving as a
Dhamma worker for over a decade. During this time, she was deeply involved in
Dhamma propagation and the daily affairs of the monastery. Through these
experiences, her understanding of the Dhamma deepened, and she developed the
aspiration to ordain.
In 2010, she renounced worldly life and became Sayalay,
committing herself fully to the path of practice.
After ordination, Sayalay Uttara trained under Pa-Auk Sayadaw and his disciples,
diligently practicing Samatha and Vipassanā meditation.
She focused on refining
her meditation practice and deepening her understanding of the Dhamma.
Alongside her own spiritual growth, she actively shares the wisdom of meditation,
helping others find inner peace and wisdom.
与sayalay 一起讨论 how does baby has impacted the parents and how parents wish to nurture in them.
Sayalay Sudassi guided us in the sharing t oo.
Me seriously pondering and reflecting on the topic.
I kind of seeing my belly in that black marathon t-shirt. 😍😍
=======================
======================= Lunch =====================
Sayalay Sudassi 带领我们一起正念用餐
只可惜我一直玩手机 😂😂😂😂， 因为用手机做工。

sister们准备的食物很用心， 很variety 叻， 跟月子餐差不多了，
 其实是说比月子餐好也说的过去， 一些细节的东西， 如水果的type都超过一个了。

and there were 3 pregnant mothers including me. We were served this 很有爱心的delectable ， 看得出很用心准备的午餐。 我真的很受宠若惊， 因为不但我不用自己去拿食物， 还有义工们端过来给我们， 太受宠诺惊了。 有一种何德何能， 要别人服侍我的感觉。
吃完后也不用自己洗碗碟。 有点像在confinement center (月子中心) 因为刚生产后， 所以有人服侍的感觉。
sister 们很用心的摆盘。。。太感动了。
因为只有南传佛教 Theravada Tradition 才有
托钵 的culture, 所以在这里我们有供养给bhante and sayalay的习惯。 这也是我过了好几年才有机会供养给南传法师。
然后也很好奇平时Dhamma Earth 的人是怎么供养的（流程， 要顶礼，要贵吗？ 有什么要注意的吗？）
难得有机会供养， 我也很38的去帮忙。
对于有机会供养Sayalay , 当然要当人而不让。
其实这里的法工sister们对每个人都很用心， 连糖水， 汤都serve好好。
这位sister 特地在家里煮了一些面食， 然后特地拿过来这里供养法师。
随喜赞叹。
Sadhu sadhu sadhu
过后三位Pregnant mother和他们的老公就一起在课堂上跟Sayalay Sudassi 一起用餐 😊😊😊
