Dear Friends,
 
Summer is treating us with wonderful days and warm nights.
Some of us have swarmed out to enjoy and explore new places.
Others have stayed close to home and enjoyed the relaxed pace of life during the summer time.
 
Our Sangha continious to grow and is getting stronger.
New people are joining, bringing new energy, experiences insights and friendship.
To better communicate in the Sangha and facilitate sharing during the week we have thought of using the internet.
We have opened a blog where some basic info on our group is posted, and these weekly announcements can be read.
please check out the following link:

This blog is an experiment and work in progress, so share what you think and advise on how it can be improved.
 
Tomorrow we will have a normal meditation evening:
Doors open 19h30 for calming down and getting to know the new participants
followed by guided sitting (20h)
silent walking
silent sitting
Dharma sharing.
 
The theme will be in line with last week where we practised stopping relaxing concentrating.
Tomorrow we will add to this: Enjoying!
According to the advice of Thich Nhat Hanh: your practise should bring you Joy, so that it is easier to integrate it in your dayly life.
Also in the sutra on mindfull breathing, one of the explicit steps is experiencing joy.
 
 
I wish you a wonderful weekend
Hans
