[Could you come to my home country, Poland, to introduce your teachings?]
Dear the loving Thay, dear beloved community,
My name is Margot, I grew up in Poland,
but I live in the United States now.
First of all, I would like to express my enormous gratitude
for the deep deep teachings and the practice
that allowed me to change my life
heal my life.
My parents were children of the war.
So I knew the war through them.
And when I found your teaching
it allowed me to sit with this suffering,
they sufferings and my sufferings
and transform it.
But when I go back to Poland,
I still feel that energy.
I also feel the energy like in the U.S.
of the native American brothers and sisters.
But they have you, and my deep desire would be
to bring the teachings to Eastern Europe, to Poland.
So the next question is
if you would ever consider coming to Poland?
(Laughter)
To introduce the teachings
to my brothers and sisters in Poland who are still suffering.
Thank you.
Dear Thay, dear Sangha,
our friend Margot is very grateful to Thay and the teachings
for the healing that has brought to her life.
She grew up in Poland and now lives in the U.S.
And the practices helped her to understand
the suffering of her parents, who were children of war,
possibly the 2nd World War,
and the suffering of her country.
Now in the U.S., she is also very aware
of the suffering of the native American peoples
She would like to know
if Thay would be able to go to Poland
to help her bring his teachings
to her spiritual brothers and sisters to her country.
Thay is in you.
(Laughter)
So if you go to Poland, Thay goes with you.
And with your practice of mindful breathing, mindful walking,
you will help so many people.
And you also have your Sangha body.
Try to persuade your Sangha body to go with you.
I think we have already gone to Russia and other countries of Europe
and offered the teaching and the practice.
This is only a problem of continuation.
So your Sangha is there, take refuge in the Sangha
and request your Sangha to support you and go with you
to Poland and to other Eastern European countries.
I think books of Thay are already available
in many countries, they are already.
So please reflect on this and discuss with your Sangha
as how to make the teachings, the practice
more available in your root country,
and also other countries.
This is possible with the Sangha
Everything is possible with the Sangha.
[connect, be inspired, be nourished]
