Thursday Sangha Group Sharings
Dear family,
Join Faye, Tim and Sarah this Thursday, as we continue to feel our way through the third verse of the Heart Sutra.
Typically, our Thursday Sangha sessions involve sharin or reflections from the facilitators, and usually a question for the Sangha breakout groups to explore between themselves.
The question for our breakout groups this week is;
What happens to you when you truly let go of no birth, no death; no you, no me?
This will be followed by a guided meditation to finish.
Our theme for April is continuing; "The Insight That Brings Us To The Other Shore"
Understanding the Sutra: verse 3 (part 1)
Listen Shariputra
All phenomena bear the mark of Emptiness
Their true nature is the nature of
no Birth, no Death
no Being, no Nonbeing
We are posed the question:
How long has my hand been here?
When we explore this question we see that many generations of ancestors are in our hand. Our ancestors are still alive in this present moment. We are their continuation.
I am more than this physical body, I am my thought, my speech, my actions. Look for me in yourself (Thich Nhat Hanh).
