Compassionate Ocean Sangha
A Community of Heart
Sangha meetings and classes
You are warmly welcomed to join Judy, Dipika & Debbie for our dharma sharing and meditation.
​
Our topic for the month of November is:
The Fourth Dharma Seal of Plum Village
- Ripening moment by moment
We receive the teachings that we are ready to receive. … We are always growing and changing from moment to moment (Brother Phap Hai, Nothing to It, p76).
How does this Plum Village Dharma Seal relate to the Three Buddhist Dharma Seals?
The Buddhist Seal of impermanence is present in this practice, as it is in the Plum Village Seal. However, our Plum Village seal also contains interbeing. We ripen because we have a Sangha to support us and kind spiritual friends to guide us. So, we also practise with no-self. and possibly moments of nirvana.
Ripening takes time.
