Dear friends,
This Sunday, we will have the opportunity to recite the 14 mindfulness trainings together. We will practice sitting, walking, and dharma sharing as we reflect on the joys and challenges of putting the trainings into practice in our own lives.
Here is some guidance about the trainings from Thich Nhat Hanh's book, Interbeing:
"Mindfulness trainings are practices, not prohibitions. They do not restrict our freedom. They protect us, guarantee our liberty, and prevent us from getting entagled in difficultues and confusion. When we fail, we lift ourselves up and try again to do our best. In fact, we can never succeed one hundred percent. The mindfulness trainings are like the North Star. If we want to travel north, we can use the North Star to guide us, but we never expect to arrive at the North Star" (p. 7).
Looking forward to being with you, and enjoying the moments between now and then :)
With gratitude for your presence and practice,
Stephanie
