Today we share a talk by Sister Tuong Nghiem and translated by
Sister Tinh Nghiem. As a young monastic, our sister
remembers that it was not easy for her
to practice mindfulness in midst of
difficulties. She shares conversations she had with Thay when
she felt overwhelmed and her own insights into how we can
stop, breathe, and see our difficulties clearly. It is not always
easy; and that is ok.
Also from the online sangha this week,we invite you to join an
online, televised panel discussion about Sister D's new book,
Mindfulness as Medicine. I'll be talking with Jason Kim from
Parallax Press and Nadia Coburn from Anchor Magazine. You can
write in questions for us live during the one-hour program, Tuesday
at 9am Pacific. Or of course, watch it online later. To connect, go
to bit.ly/sisterd. We'll see you
there!
