“Only from the heart, can you touch the sky.”
Rumi
Wednesday 7pm
Welcome to the retreat, retreat overview, dana appeal, introduction to The Four Reminders by Prajnanita
Dedication Ceremony, Just Sitting meditation, Green Tara mantra led by Ratnadeva
The human body, at peace with itself,
Is more precious than the rarest gem.
Cherish your body – it is yours this time only.
The human form is won with difficulty,
It is easy to lose.
All worldly things are brief,
Like lightning in the sky;
This life you must know
As the tiny splash of a raindrop;
A thing of beauty that disappears
Even as it comes into being.
Therefore set your goal;
Make use of every day and night
To achieve it.
– Tsong Khapa
