[BLS-News] Day of Mindfulness In the Tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh-Sunday, October 26, 2008 8:30 AM

[Dr. Martha Martinez]

“From time to time, we can set aside some time for a retreat or a day of mindfulness so we can sit, walk slowly, smile, eat lunch with friends and enjoy being together as though we are the happiest people on Earth. 
This is not just a retreat, it is a treat.”
--Thich Nhat Hanh 
 
The Broward Lotus Sangha and Tu Viện Hương Hải 
Are pleased to invite you to a
Day of Mindfulness
In the Tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh
Led by Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue
Sunday, October 26, 2008
In Davie, FL
From 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
 
Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue was ordained as a Buddhist monk by Zen Master Thich Nhẩt Hạnh (Thây) in Plum Village, France, in 1989. He currently serves as the Abbott of Tu Viện Hương Hải, a Vietnamese Buddhist Monastery in Florida.
 
This Plum Village-style Day of Mindfulness (DOM) will provide a wonderful opportunity for those who want to deepen their mindfulness practice with time for reflection and silence in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.  Throughout the day, we will enjoy periods of sitting and walking meditation, chanting, and mindful movements, as well as Deep Relaxation, a Dharma Talk by Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue and Dharma Sharing from the fourth-fold Sangha.  
 
This event is free an open to all practitioners. However, your generosity in providing a donation or Dana for the monastic and lay Sanghas is gratefully accepted and encouraged. Your kind donation to the Sangha or community of practitioners helps us defray the costs associated with this DOM and supports the activities of the Sangha. 
 
Please arrive by 8:30 A.M. so you can relax and absorb the peaceful beauty of the natural surroundings and to help the Sangha set up for the day.  
 
Please respect and appreciate noble silence during the duration of the formal activities of the day. An opportunity for sharing and mindful conversation will be provided towards the end of the DOM.
 
Sangha T-Shirts and Thich Nhat Hanh's CDs, DVDs, and books will be available for those who may want to purchase them/ obtain them for an additional donation. 
 
To register, please e-mail Tony at strega_flies at earthlink.net. Directions and a list of what to bring will be sent to all registered participants. Please register as soon as possible so we can plan the meals for the day.
