Retreat - Transforming the seeds of suffering, cultivating the seeds of joy

16 September 2004 - 20:00 to 19 September 2004 - 20:00

Transforming the seeds of suffering, cultivating the seeds of joy: une retraite de Pleine Conscience dirigée par Chan Huy à Camp Child, Helena, Montana, USA, avec la Open Way Sangha.

The theme of the retreat is taken from the book Transformation at the Base, Fifty Verses on the Nature of Consciousness, by Thich Nhat Hanh. This is a book on Buddhist transformational psychology. Vietnamese Zen master Thuong Chieu said, “When we understand how our mind works, the practice becomes easy.” In exploring the realms of consciousness and their activity, we can learn to transform our suffering into joy and nurture the wholesome seeds that exist within us.

Sitting and watching our breath is a wonderful practice, but it is not enough. For transformation to take part, we have to practice mindfulness all day long, not just on our meditation cushion.
