Dear Friends,
Thay has spoken often about the 5 Skandhas, the five elements of our being, which I recently heard him clarify as being: Body, Feelings, Perceptions, Mental Formations and Store Consciousness. These are the fundamentals of Buddhist psychology, and Thay has said we should use them everyday to take inventory of our territory. He has said we are sovereigns over our territory, King or Queen, and we need to know what is going on in our territory, and take care of the wellbeing of these constituents of our being.
This Sunday we’ll explore these domains and how we can practice with them to bring about wellbeing for ourselves, our community, and our world.
I look forward to being with you,
Keith

Contemplating Limitless Life – Thay teaches us that we have 8 different types of bodies and are not limited to our physical body. Marge will explore some of these and how we inter-are with our ancestors and the whole cosmos. These teachings allow us to see that birth and death are just part of the continuum of existence, and we need not fear “dying.”

Heather will facilitate on the Five Remembrances, impermanence and interbeing:
I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.The Five Remembrances Chant
I am of the nature to have ill-health. There is no way to escape having ill-health.
I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them.
My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.

With the Zen eye we see that everything has spiritual value. How we engage with afflictions is the craft of practice. This theme for Tuesday is "The Healing We Took Birth For": practicing with fear, grief, shame and other strong emotions. We hope you can join us.
