Today, we share with you a small taste of retreat at Deer Park
Monastery. Sister Man Nghiem and Brother Phap Hai give a
short introduction to life at the monastery for new retreatants.
She shares about connecting with others while sharing rooms and
connecting with ourselves during the practice of Noble Silence.
And our brother gives guidance to help us feel comfortable
and relaxed during sitting meditation.
Registration is now open for this year's general retreat at Deer
Park Monastery. Whether you have never been on retreat or been on
many, the monastics and lay friends welcome you to take refuge at
the practice center. The retreat will be from September 10th
to 14th with the theme, "I have enough". More information can
be found at deerparkmonastery.org.
Lastly, the Dharmacast team would like to invite you to participate
in our new project, Summer Love
Letters. The monastics have dedicated their
lives to sharing the Dharma with you and it nourishes their
practice to hear how their dedication has touched your life.
If a sharing on the podcast has touched you deeply,
please write a love letter, a love note, or even just a love
sentence to the monastics at Deer Park. Send it to
the Dharmacast and throughout the summer, we hope to share your
love letter on the air to nourish the monastics at Deer Park and
inspire other listeners in the worldwide Dharmacast sangha.
Remember, you can always find the Deer Park Monastery
at dpcast.net and on Facebook, iTunes, and
Twitter. We welcome dharma sharings from our worldwide
listeners on any of our online homes or by email
at dpcastlove(~at~)gmail.com. Now, enjoy this moment to
stop and look deeply.
