Newcomer Orientation
This talk details mindfulness as a passport to a wonderland where everything is miraculous, helping us embrace suffering as transformative and nurturing joy and strength. The retreat emphasizes mindfulness, peace, joy, noble silence starting at half past ten, and rising at six o’clock with gratitude. Activities mainly occur in the Ashoka building, Medodogon temple, and tent, with walking meditation recommended. Breakfast is in silence, followed by a Dharma lecture at 10:30. Families prepare meals tonight, with dining instructions provided. Name badges are required, emergency contacts given, parking designated, and noble silence maintained in meditation areas. EHBO assistance is available, camping arrangements provided, and translators needed for French speakers. Listen for bells to conclude the evening program.
