Breathing in, I connect with the trees. Breathing out I feel nature's serenity

Ajattelin just että hehkutan täällä Plum Villagen appia jossa on ihania rentoutus- ja meditaatioäänitteitä. Ilmaisia. Olen saanut mielenrauhaa vaikeisiin aikoihin heidän jo edesmenneen opettajan teksteistä ja näistä äänitteistä. Sitten luin vielä tämän 😍❤️🙏 Expanding the Spectrum of Love | Plum Village

Good #Buddhist practice session this morning- received my set of the new #ThichNhatHanh Plum Village tradition chanting books so did some of my favourites out of that (which I learned using the *excellent* #PlumVillage app!)

Thich Nhat Hanh was a true bodhisattva, and an amazing poet even in English. I love being able to sing the Heart Sutra every morning in my own language using his lyrical translation! I can only aspire to be able to help a fraction of the people his life touched. 🙏🏾

"The earth is not just the environment. The earth is in you, you are the earth. You touch the nature of interbeing, and at that moment you can have real communication with the earth. That is the highest form of prayer. The one who prays and the one who is prayed to are not two. In that kind of relationship, we have enough love, strength and awakening in order to change our life." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"It is possible to have a spiritual practice that is based on evidence" - Thich Nhat Hanh on the need to move beyond environmentalism

Happy Vesak Day!

I got a little out of sorts today, let unimportant things make me angry and lose control of my emotions. So I decided it was a good opportunity for self care and showing myself compassion, and decided to do a short guided #meditation from #PlumVillage. As I started the meditation, this happened. You've heard of sitting meditation and walking meditation. This is petting meditation. My anger drifted away and I feel a whole lot better now thanks to Brother Phap Linh and Brother Atticus.

Es ist 1 Jahr her, dass Mönche und Nonnen von #PlumVillage sich in einem offenen Brief an die #Menschheitsfamilie wandten, um zum #Frieden in der #Ukraine aufzurufen. Eine der Unterzeichner:innen ist die Nonne Chân Không. Sie ist Jahrgang 1938 und kann aus 1. Hand vom Greuel im #Krieg berichten. Bei ihr war es Vietnam, in dem von 1955 -75 ein Stellvertreterkrieg wütete. Heute ist der Schauplatz keine 2000 km von D entfernt.

A beautiful song and important reminder from Brother Peace of #PlumVillage

“I knew early on that finding truth is not the same as finding happiness. You aspire to see the truth. But once you have seen it, you cannot avoid suffering. Otherwise, you have seen nothing at all.”

Practicing #mindfulness? Sorry, there's an app for that 😆

This one comes from the #Buddhist monastery, #PlumVillage: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/plum-village-zen-meditation/id1273719339

There's also #PositiveIntelligence, a #mentalfitness program I recently completed by NYT bestselling author and Stanford Lecturer, Shirzad Chamine: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/positive-intelligence/id1525390977

Just as these have helped my transformation since getting laid off, they help me stay on track every day.

If you haven't already seen them, #PlumVillage released new parallel verses for us to contemplate this year. One the many innovations that Master #ThichNhatHanh gave us was to write the verses in multiple languages, allowing different people to contemplate them in their native language.

To honor the one-year anniversary of the passing of Vietnamese Buddhist monk and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, we are re-sharing his “Ten Love Letters to the Earth.” Read or listen to a series of meditations that engage us in intimate conversation with our Earth. https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/ten-love-letters-to-the-earth/ #ThichNhatHanh #PlumVillage

Releasing verses for practitioners to contemplate each new year is not specific to #PlumVillage. What #ThichNhatHanh did that was different was to release them in different languages that people could understand.

I used to get the verses from Fo Guang Shan too, but since the pandemic and the shutting down of the English language dharma services, I'm out of touch with them.

The PV verses are beautiful, and I will be happy to practice with them for the year. #Buddhism
