Orientation – The Art of Suffering

This is the orientation for the Art of Suffering Retreat at Blue Cliff Monastery, Pine Bush, NY. This is the orientation talk for the 6-day retreat with the theme Transformation and Healing – The Art of Suffering.

Peace, happiness, and love are skills we can learn. The art of happiness and the art of suffering. We suffer less if we learn how to suffer. With this start, we are reminded to take care of our happiness and our suffering.

Namo Avalokiteshvara Chant by monastics. Following the chant, Thay turns the orientation over to two senior monastics who orientate the retreatants on the practice.
