| Mindfulness Days - monthly |
|
|
Once a month we offer a day of mindful practice
and contemplation. The day normally consists of
chanting in both Vietnamese and English. Followed
by silent sitting meditation, outdoor walking
meditation (if weather permits), and dana lunch,
so please bring a plate to share. After our physical
body's are nourished it is time to nourish our
bodhi-heart by listening to a dharma talk from
our teacher Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh on casette or
video tape. Small group for dharma discussion
and sharings follow. Our aim for the day, in whatever
position or activity, is to strengthen the energy
of mindfulness, whether talking to our friends,
taking our plate for meals or washing up, this
energy enables us to develop wisdom, compassion
and peace and that these qualities permeate our
daily activities at home, at work, or in difficulty
relationships and situations. Mindful Living is
non-sectarian and non-religious which means that
anyone of any faith can benefit from it.

| Mindfulness Trainings Recitation
Days - second monthly |
|
|
As well as integrating meditation and Mindful
Living in our days, our dedicated members take
on further commitments and vows by upholding the
5 Mindfulness Trainings and/or the 14 Mindfulness
Trainings (see Mindfulness Trainings, and Order
of Interbeing for more information). These Trainings
help purify our hearts and minds from tendencies
of greed, hatred, delusion, and all unwholesome
states of mind. Every second month at our Centre
we gather for the recitation of these Trainings
in order to carry out its benefit of peace, happiness
and wisdom into our home, work and society.

| Retreats - year round |
|
|
Throughout the year we hold 3 retreats in various
camping locations conducive to practice. Our focus
is more orientated to practicing mindfulness in
our ordinary everyday life together with family
and friends on the same spiritual path. Our long
term members can offer the wisdom gained from
their own practice and encourage new comers to
discover the deep calm and clarity of mindfulness
practice through their own experience. These retreats
will be held during 3 long weekends namely, Easter
(April), Queen's Birthday (June), and Labour Day
(October).
