Orientation

Thich Nhat Hanh · October 5, 2011 · Blue Cliff Monastery, United States

This is the orientation given on Wednesday, Oct. 5th, 2011, offered by Thay during the Stepping Into Freedom, Savoring Life Retreat at Blue Cliff Monastery, Pine Bush, NY. Its too late to go to the kingdom, if you wait until this body disintegrates. You dont have to die to go to the kingdom. In fact, you have to be very alive. And that can be possible when breathing in mindfully and breathing out mindfully. So breathing and walking meditation is to enjoy the Kingdom of God with every step. After an initial introduction, Thay hands over the orientation to Brother Phap Khoi and Sister Thoai Nghiem.
