"Is there a compass for ethics?"

Dear Friends,

Monday evening (nov 11) we will have our monthly evening of Mindfulness input. 

We will watch the second half of the talk that Thay gave on Global awakening.

(Not in the chapel due to GLOW, but in the studio of Leo and Ingrid )

The past month we have been meditating and studying on Interbeing.

Following the talk by Thay we looked our connection and interconnection with people, with society, and with nature. Our existences are interwoven, are part of one system.

From that insight we can look at and choose our behavior.

In the video Thay will offer us 5 topics (or aspects of life) on which we can meditate and express our aspiration.

These 5 aspects have been handed down, studied and practiced during 25 centuries of Buddhist practice.

These are:

Reverence for life

True happiness

True love

Loving speech

Wholesome nourishment

After the video we have the opportunity to share our thoughts and experiences.

Doors will be open from 19h30

Video starts 20h00 and will take about 40 min.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hans.
