Sunshine this morning!
During the Waves and Water Sangha Day of Mindfulness on March 12 we will have a transmission ceremony for the Five Mindfulness Trainings. The Five Mindfulness Trainings are Thich Nhat Hanh’s (Thay’s) vision for engaged mindfulness in daily life. With the Three Refuges, they will be transmitted in Thay’s lineage from Dharma teacher, Kristin Penn and the Greater Vancouver Order of Interbeing Sangha. If you are interested in receiving the Mindfulness Trainings please let us know at wwsangha[at]gmail.com as soon as possible before March 5.
Members of all Sanghas in our tradition are welcome to attend and receive or renew any of the Trainings. If you do not attend a local Sangha regularly, please contact us soon so we can talk about your interest.
Tutorial for Chanting the Insight Sutra – our new translation of the Heart Sutra.
We have been studying and practicing the Insight Sutra with the help of the Plum Village nuns! Please see the Resources page on the website for the materials we are using (http://wavesandwater.org/site/resources/new-heart-sutra/).
Shane (who I believe may live in Victoria) has offered a very effective tutorial for the chant! Please find him and his engaging teaching at SanghaSongs.blogspot.com At the end there is a lovely video of him chanting with the Sisters and Brothers from Deer Park.
Smiling, looking forward to practicing with you soon….
