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

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.
