I Have Arrived, I am Home' Retreat Orientation & Namo’valokiteshvaraya Chant
The Sangha is gathered at Magnolia Grove Monastery in Batesville, Mississippi during the 2011 US Teaching Tour, Cultivating the Mind of Love. In this 42-minute introduction Thich Nhat Hanh teaches Mindfulness, mindful breathing, sitting and walking meditation, how to arrive, and the miracle of mindfulness that lets us release past and future. We are “cells in the sangha body,” breathing together so that with just three seconds of breathing we can touch life, generate energy, listen as one body and gain insight. Walking allows us to touch the wonders of life in the here and now; sitting can be a delight supported by Sangha and breathing—“I have arrived, I am home.” During the retreat we learn to be the living Buddha, the living Dharma and the living Sangha. Sister Pine and Brother Phap Dung share ways to enjoy the practice: Noble Silence, Working Meditation, slowing down, eating salad without the dressing, cultivating our own bell of mindfulness; in this tradition practice and non-practice are interwoven—pay attention to the non-effort.
On April 17, 2011, at the start of a five-day retreat in Taipei, Taiwan, a 47-minute orientation in English with consecutive Mandarin translation is offered by Thay Phap Dung and Sister Dinh Nghiem, introducing the basic practice and continuing the guidance begun by Thay.
