Good rainy afternoon dear friends –
This evening after sitting walking and tea meditation we will practice with a single line of the Five Mindfulness Trainings: “I am aware that happiness depends on my mental attitude and not on external conditions, and that I can live happily in the present moment simply by remembering that I already have more than enough conditions to be happy.” As practitioners we may have very different responses to this line – and this evening is our opportunity to share both the underlying meaning of TRUE HAPPINESS and also how we understand this statement in our own lives and in the lives of other. We will continue with this study and practice for the next several weeks….
AND this Saturday we have a Day of Mindfulness. Thich Nhat Hanh has offered us a new translation of the Heart Sutra and we will read and discuss it this together. We will listen to the music and we will also learn together the final mantra: Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Please arrive at 9:45 and don’t forget a bag lunch! More information concerning Days of Mindfulness with Waves and Water may be found at: http://wavesandwater.org/site/practice/days-of-mindfulness/
Enjoying rain drops on windows….
