Dear friends, After the first Wake Up Day of Mindfulness at Luk Wu, we’ve learnt the four elements of True Love: Loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Do we feel that we are capable of loving ourselves and others with understanding? Do we understand our deepest desire, our needs for happiness as well as the root of suffering in ourselves? Do we truly understand our loved ones? Here is another episode of learning the art of cultivating the mind of love. Grasp this chance to grow our understanding and our love for ourselves and our loved ones.

Dear Friends, Monastics of Asian Institute of Applied Buddhism, Plum Village Hong Kong, are happy to invite you to Sunday Day of Mindfulness and Rose Festival on coming Sunday, August 22, 2021. About the Rose Ceremony In the West we have Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to celebrate the presence of our parents in our lives. The Rose Ceremony is a tradition that Thầy began after a visit to Japan. While in Tokyo some Japanese students pinned a carnation on Thầy’s robe. On Mother’s day, it is their custom to wear a red flower on the lapel when your mother is still alive, and a white one if she is no longer alive. In Vietnam (and other Asian countries) there is a tradition to celebrate the Ullambana Ceremony, which is an occasion to commemorate Venerable Maudgalyayana for his expression of filial love – rescuing his Mother from the Hell realm. Every year, as part of the Plum Village tradition we celebrate both the Ullambana and the Rose Ceremony together. It is an opportunity to pay respect and offer gratitude to our parents for their love and care throughout our lives. This is special as it is a time when you can reflect on and appreciate the good seeds that your parents have passed on to you, whether they are still alive or have already passed away.

It is a “lite” mindfulness practice allowing you to nourish your mindfulness with the practice community after a busy week.  Owing to the pandemic situation, we shall practise together on the internet.  Date: May 7, 2021 Time: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm Language: English Registration: https://forms.gle/dGeiv2eSguQgFM5w6 Please note that: Registration window will be closed by 2200 on May 6, 2021.  A confirmation email will be sent to you after registration closed.

Dear beloved friends all over the world, We are back!  To you we send our warm greetings to keep you informed that over here, the monastic Sangha in Thai Plum Village is very healthy and diligent in the practice. While the pandemic of Covid-19 is about to cease, the past challenging year has offered us more strength, and we are more aware than ever of the value of practicing together. Although we are separated by social distancing, the monastic sangha of Thai Plum Village has continued to receive a lot of extraordinary support and love from friends all over the world. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to you for always being with us on this spiritual journey. Moreover, to offer a gift from our heart, we would like to open an online five-day retreat named “Healing Ourselves – Healing the World”.  This retreat will be in English with the support of multilingual translations, and will run from May 1 to May 5, 2021. The daily practice schedule includes sitting meditation, walking meditation, total relaxation, Dharma sharing, and more. Additionally, our senior monastic Dharma teachers will give Dharma talks as well as presentations on the practices of the Five Mindfulness Trainings and Beginning Anew.  The whole Sangha will be practicing at the same time with you, and all activities will be live-streamed to participants. We would like to offer you the collective energy of the Sangha as if you were present in Thai Plum Village.  Online registration will be opened on April 2, at 4 pm Hong Kong time.  Hereunder is the linkage for more information http://langmaithailan.org/healing-ourselves-healing-the-world-may-01-05-2021?fbclid=IwAR38CrAAhAlD-q6c9MhsGF0vaJW65qrEJYg9tgFCpwGd4noqWyRGoqUXiVk Online Registration  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7Am4rBlhx_ygyjkBIAdFFvna3bwHaxBTx9l1wDx0OPVSIFQ/closedform?fbclid=IwAR1kCq_43nHxYR8KcgPkAKxaPmLbTC8Q36a9VDMVqClWGCinP3kJyWLUqmw We look forward to welcoming you.
