The world and you are one

Dear Friends,

It is a wonder and a privilege to share your life with someone.

Even more, Thich Nhat Hanh said: The wonder is not to walk on water, but to walk this earth is the wonder.

If you think of what conditions should be met in order to be alive and to breathe ...

The past weeks we have been meditating on Interbeing and our presence in this world.

This week we will concentrating on our relationship with the world, the universe, with nature. 

Last week we saw that the rose is made out of non-rose elements, like the sunshine and the cloud.

If we now look at ourselves, our bodies and our consciousness we see the same thing. All made out of non-self elements: from the water in your cells to the calcium in your bones it all existed long before the dinosaurs. Also your personality is formed from the jokes of your friend and the insights of your teacher or parents.

We inter-are as species, we inter-are with nature.

Our evening of mindfulness starts at 19h30 with tea and calming down,

meditation will start at 20h till about 21h.

Feel free to leave after meditation and stay in the silence.

After meditation we will have the opportunity to share our experiences with the Dharma (ca 30 min)

We close as usual with informal tea.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Hans
