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.

Just as vegetation is sensible to sunlight, mental formations are sensitive to mindfulness. Mindfulness is the energy that can embrace and transform all mental formations. Mindfulness helps us leave behind "upside-down perceptions" and wakes us up to what is happening.
