No electricity, no water, no food – no problem! I don’t even mind the relentless loudspeakers spewing accusatory venom day and night in our ears. This torture is a chance for us to practice love and non-violence toward people who are unfortunately prone to violence and not lovable…. No matter how harsh my outer circumstances, I am grateful for all and bear no resentment.
this past weekend a few of us were fortunate enough to practice a day of mindfulness at deerpark monastery in escondido
its open to the public and happens every thursday and sunday
today an email came that yanked at my heartstrings
monks and nuns have been and continue to be violently physically, mentally, and sexually assaulted at the bat nha monastery in vietnam
aggressions include cutting off electricity and water, beating, throwing rocks and excrement, destroying temples, and using speaker phones throughout the day to curse at the monastics
please take one minute to sign this petition we have until dec 31
and if you don't want to sign, can you please pray or meditate or spend one moment in silence for them
