Dear Friends —
In May, we will explore a line from the Refuge Chant: “I vow to live simply and sanely with few possessions.” We will begin with a recitation of the Five Mindfulness Trainings and a panel of Sangha members who will talk about mindful consumption and how the Five Mindfulness Trainings support their intention to live simply. In the weeks to follow, we will deepen our connection to the Refuge Chant and notice how it feels in the body to live simply and sanely, with few possessions. We will continue by looking with curiosity at our daily lives, noticing what it means to take refuge in the Dharma – particularly the practice of letting go. What happens when we consider our possessions – material, emotional, ideological, intellectual? We will end this study period with the Sutra Service on Taking Refuge.
The Refuge Chant, words and MP3, can be found at : wavesandwater.org, under Resources–Plum Village Chants.
