What happens In Canada when Police Officers Meditate In A Temple? Here's something you don't see every day. Officers from Ontario's Peel Regional Police attended a temple last week for a lecture on mindfulness meditation and Buddhist philosophy. The event at the West End Buddhist Temple and Meditation Centre was led by deputy abbot Bhante Saranapala. "They were very nice and they liked it and they think it should be part of their daily practice," He said. He offers similar lectures to young professionals, teachers, and students in Canada and the U.S. Saranapala said an officer approached him to organize the event. "I think generally people have negative impressions about the police officers, and seeing some officers trying to do mindfulness meditation, [and] being in the front row of a Buddhist temple, they think it's very positive." Saranapala — who says students gave him the nickname Urban Buddhist Monk because he "was a city monk" — said he's offering a similar course to Ontario Provincial Police officers in May.
