Book reading in these two months: Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise. Friday Night Practice is a “lite” mindful practice in town. On the first and third Friday of a month, we come together to have Friday Night Practice. We have a chance to practice mindfulness together with others and generate a powerful collective energy that can bring healing and transformation in ourselves and the world with the community after a busy week. In 2025 Mar and April, we will continue our reading of “Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise”, a book that shows us how to find and maintain our equanimity amid the barrage of noise. Teacher Thich Nhat Hanh guides us on a path to cultivate calm even in the most chaotic places. Silence is a concise, practical guide to understanding and developing our most powerful inner resource, silence, to help us find happiness, purpose, and peace.

The retreat is full.  You can register with “Waiting List”.  We shall advise you once there is vacancy. The Theme： The Path leading to Love and Understanding The Buddha’s wisdom reminds us that “While there is a path that leads to suffering, there is also a path that leads to happiness, peace, and true freedom—a path where every step is nourished by awakened understanding and compassionate action.” In this Spring, you are invited to join us for a five-day retreat: “The Path leading to Love and Understanding”.  Together, we will learn ways to take care of ourselves and preserve peace, joy and well-being in our body and consciousness, and in the collective body and consciousness of our family, society and the Earth. This retreat is open to all people. No prior meditation experience is required and people of all spiritual backgrounds – or no religious background – are welcome to attend.
