Good morning
-
Not Synced
dear Thay dear sangha, Today is the 9th,
Sunday, the 9th of December, 2018.
-
Not Synced
We are in the Assembly of Stars
meditation hall in Lower Hamlet,
-
Not Synced
and this is the last of the Dharma talks
-
Not Synced
before the end of our three month
retreat together .
-
Not Synced
So I feel a special sense of
-
Not Synced
speaking to that.
-
Not Synced
Most of us have been here
for the three month retreat together.
-
Not Synced
We've been
-
Not Synced
those of you who came
-
Not Synced
to Plum Village for three months
have experienced
-
Not Synced
going through ups and downs.
-
Not Synced
And maybe,
-
Not Synced
some of the time you wondered,
'Why did I come?'
-
Not Synced
I don't know. Excuse me.
-
Not Synced
It's a loud blow.
-
Not Synced
(Laughter)
-
Not Synced
Maybe you felt, 'Yeah, I'd be better off
-
Not Synced
in a cave somewhere'.
-
Not Synced
Maybe in the Pole, or somewhere,
-
Not Synced
in some mountain.
-
Not Synced
When we practice together,
we really
-
Not Synced
have to meet each other,
-
Not Synced
and get along together.
-
Not Synced
If we don't get along together,
-
Not Synced
because we are living together 24/7,
-
Not Synced
it really shows up.
It is difficult to stay calm and to enjoy.
-
Not Synced
So actually, a lot of the practice that
you've been learning these three months
-
Not Synced
is how to live in harmony,
how to get along.
-
Not Synced
How to practice loving speech,
-
Not Synced
but also you have to communicate
when there is a difficulty,
-
Not Synced
but with loving speech.
-
Not Synced
How to let go
-
Not Synced
of your preference
and maybe of your irritation.
-
Not Synced
How to see the other person
is also suffering.
