“It is possible for us to live our daily lives in such a way that every moment becomes a moment of healing” You are invited to attend our annual Autumn Mind-Body Well-Being Retreat – “Healing is Every Step” at AIAB – Lotus Pond Temple. Our Respected Teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, has often taught us that “To attain well-being, we need to take care not only of our bodies but also of our minds. Mindfulness practice is central to seeing the interdependence of mind and body.” In this retreat, we will have the chance to learn the teachings of Buddhist psychology, look into ways to manage stress and emotions, and explore how to cultivate Emotional Competence 1 through mindfulness. Mindful contemplation on the body, feelings, mental formations (emotions) and perceptions, as taught in the Discourse on the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, can help us understand and cope effectively with stress. We shall practice stopping, calming, resting and healing in every step. We warmly welcome you to join us cultivating wellbeing, healing our body and mind by slowing down, to generate peace and happiness through the practice of mindfulness as a way of life — where everything we do like breathing, walking, eating, smiling …. is an act of mindfulness. We will enjoy the beautiful sky, the trees, the walking paths, the flowers around us. We will listen to Dharma talks and participate in group sharing on how to live fully in the present moments, to deal with stress and emotions, and to cultivate togetherness, making our presence a precious gift to each other. The tentative schedule is as follows: Date/Time Wed Oct 21 Thur Oct 22 Fri Oct 23 Sat Oct 24 Sun Oct 25 5:15 Wake Up 6:00 Sitting & Slow Walking & Reading Discourse Outdoor Sitting & Walking Meditation 5 Mindfulness Trainings Transmission Ceremony 7:00 10 Mindful Movements & Walking Meditation 8:00 Breakfast 9:15 Working Meditation 10:30 […]
