Reflections on how we can use the practice in our daily lives

For those of us who were at Deer Park last weekend, either as part of the Sangha retreat or the Day of Mindfulness, I invite you to share an insight that manifested for you while at Deer Park, something that you have been able to carry with you beyond the monastery. We were deeply nourished by a Dharma Talk by Brother Phap Hai. I will continue his message by reading from his book Nothing to It.

Practice Basics to Arrive Home

How can we use our basic practices of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and mindfulness to arrive home, in the here and now?  Our teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, said “I have arrived, I am home" is the shortest Dharma Talk he had ever given.  How can we use our Plum Village practices to be truly established in the here and now, and to embrace life with all its wonders and challenges?  I will facilitate this Sunday as we contemplate using our practices to be more fully present to whatever is happening at any moment.

Smiling,
Marge
