Welcome to
the Deer Park Dharmacast -- Dharma flowing from the Ocean of
Peace.
Earlier this week, the worldwide sangha was informed that Thay is
in the hospital. The monastic community has asked lay friends
around the world to practice mindfulness, stability and peace to
support our beloved teacher, remembering that we are all cells of
the great sangha body that Thay has manifested in his lifetime.
More information can be found via official announcements
at plumvillage.org.
For the podcast today, we bring you a rich sharing from our
monastics during a question and answer session at this year's
General Retreat at Deer Park Monastery. A retreatant asks how to
work with and transform strong sexual cravings. The monastics
respond insightfully on how to practice, look deeply, and see
clearly into the nature of sexual energy. With mindfulness and
equanimity, everything is possible.
Remember,
you can always find the Deer Park Dharmacast on Facebook, iTunes,
and Twitter. We welcome dharma sharings from our worldwide
listeners on any of our online homes or by email. Now, enjoy this
moment to stop and look deeply.
