Dear friends,
Due to ill health amongst the Sangha leadership, we are cancelling the Day of Mindfulness originally scheduled for November 29. REGULAR SUNDAY EVENING SANGHA GATHERING WILL CONTINUE.
We have been practicing with the Five Remembrances in the recent weeks – and are now given the opportunity to practice with “I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health.” Our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh taught us that practising the Five Remembrances is not only about reciting and acknowledging the inevitable. It is Buddha’s teaching to help us get in touch with our fear – the fear of the unknown and uncomfortable places that old age, illness, death and separation open up for us.
May all beings be peaceful, healthy and light in body and spirit.
