You had me at “together we are all one”.
I believe in a collective spirit, a small part of which each of us is graced with to gently guide us. My inner spirit lifts when I am able to breakdown the illusion of separation. I am a sinner and a saint. We are all one.
I saw you have the outstandingly wonderful “pebbles for your pocket Meditation” in your favourites. This is a beautiful Video. Thanks for sharing your YouTube link.
Best, Nicole
Hello Nicole, Thank you for your kind comment. So wonderful you will be able to attend the day of mindfulness. I’m glad you like my videos, including the pebble meditation. I produced it, along with a whole movie on living mindfully 4 years ago. A post about that:https://smilecalm.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/plum-village-meditation-center-practice-orientation-premiered/ I believe the video is still available here : http://www.aandacht.net/cds-dvds-webshop/overige-dvd-s . If it’s not available perhaps I could send you a copy. Many have commented that it helped them share their mindfulness practice with relatives and friends who would have an aversion to anything religious or Buddhist. All proceeds benefit the dutch sangha. In America it entitled “mindful living every day”. Here’s a couple pictures from my trip to eiab a couple summers ago http://www.flickr.com/photos/rezdog/6002421538/
And this is of the horses and mules in the grand canyon. They were carrying the mail and other stuff out.
Unfortunately the movie page is missing (404 error). Can you post it on YouTube?
Thanks for your kind words dear brother. My practice is to share the dharma the simple way I live it.
I just checked and the youtube link worked for me. Mysterious things happen on the web I can’t explain. http://www.youtube.com/user/rezdoglatte/videos . Perhaps sometime you might view the Bhikku Bodhi, Ven Pannavati and Joanna Macy clip. May you be well, david.
Your photos are stunning! Thank you so much for sharing them!
i appreciate your kindness 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Much appreciated! 🙂
I like them a lot. In fact, I started thinking that I would like to go to the centre and see Thich Nhat Hanh, and be around the mediators.
It’s so inspiring hearing him speak.
When I went to the website [of the centre] I couldn’t figure out how to go there, prices and such. Can you fill me in?
I’m happy you like them, Genie. I’ve been greatly inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, or Thay (respected teacher), and to plum village many times; i’m assuming you are referring to the center in France and not one of the 3 in the US. Right now is the winter retreat and scheduling is here: http://plumvillage.org/retreats/info/winter-retreat/ .
If you’d like to have more conversion I’m happy to help and prefer doing it in the contact me section. smiles
Thich Nhat Hanh is one of my favorites too and inspires much of my yoga and my writing, although I have not been fortunate enough to meet him in person. Thanks for sharing his wisdom and teachings through this lovely site.
I appreciate your kind comment. Thay is a wonderful teacher. It’s fortunate his talks are easily available on the web. And there are sangha support groups, nationally and internationally. May you be well and happy for the new year 🙂
Smilecalm! a pleasure to meet you online. I’ve enjoyed your Pebble Meditation video since Gary recommended the meditation itself and I found your wonderful resource. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and for sharing your art and experience.
