Dear Sangha,
We have just finished the last chapter of The Sun My Heart, an amazing book, which I highly recommend, if you have not read it, even if you have. I can understand why Brother Phap Hai considers it his favorite of many, many books he has read of Thay’s. We will review some of the powerful insights presented to us in the book so we have some simple yet profound practices to make the best use of it.
I look forward to being with you next Sunday.
Keith

Dear Sangha,
Chapter 4 of The Sun My Heart: Reflections on Mindfulness, Concentration and Insight, Cutting the Net of Birth and Death, plunges us into the heart and depths of our practice, taking us as far, as deep and as loving, as we’re prepared to go. I’ll do my best to share how I practice with it’s key teachings and how we can use it to deepen and enrich our experience of being alive and empower ourselves to serve our world with more joy and more wonderful effects.
I look forward to being with you this Sunday.
Please breathe mindfully and practice being present and happy. The world needs your smiles.
With affection,
Keith
