One of our Dharmacharyas, Bill Menza, will give a Day of Mindfulness on the theme “The Best Season of Your Life.”
Bill has sent us a poem for inspiration.
Ten thousand flowers in spring,
The moons in autumn,
A cool breeze in summer,
Snow in winter.
If useless thoughts do not cloud your mind,
This is the best season of your life.
Wu-men Hui-Kai (1183-1260)
Bill has a heart of gold and a deep practice that will inspire all of us. He writes of himself that he has been studying:
Gratitude
Right effort
Egocentricity
Buddha Nature, Buddha Mind
Calling Your Demons to Come Feed on You
Please bring a vegetarian dish to share.
It is okay to come for just part of the day. Please do be respectful of others and maintain silence if you are coming in or going out. And of course, if you can come for the whole day, that will be wonderful.
