Dear friends,
We are happy to invite you to our twelfth retreat organised in Poland in the Plum Village tradition. It will take place at the Silence Factory near Uniejów, where we will meet on the practice path.
We will enjoy the presence of ourselves, our accompanying friends and our friendly teacher Murray Corke, who will give a series of Dharma talks.
We will start with dinner on Monday, September 8th and end with lunch on Saturday, September 13th.
The prices of the rooms will vary, so we hope that everyone will be able to get something for themselves and enjoy the practice together.
We will meet in a group of about forty people and we will put into practice the teachings of our master Thích Nhât Hạnh.
In one of his Dharma Talks, Thích Nhât Hạnh said: "Just be here and now. That is enough. Don't get caught in the trap of the idea of a buddha being outside of you – you are already a buddha.
The practice at our retreat should help us open up to the possibility of being a buddha without setting any goals. This realisation can be helped by remembering that when we bow to a buddha image on a shrine, it is a reflection of buddha within us.
It is an inspiring experience to be among people rooted in practice. Allow yourself to feel free in this community and enjoy joint activities performed without haste or effort.
Community is like a flowing river. Be a drop of water in the river and swim with it.
During our retreat we will practice mindful walking, sitting and breathing. We will mindfully eat together and share the Dharma. Enjoy every minute of our being together - practice should be enjoyable.
Trust yourself. It doesn't matter if you will stand in the right place or bow at the right moment. Mindfulness is the energy that will help you to be here and now, to experience joy, to just be.
