An Invitation to You (as our helper of another Retreat)

Dear Family ,

Thay's HK trip is so successful this year : ) Thank you for everyone of you, let me experience the most powerful retreat i have ever joined in HK.

Some friends may think that we could make it better. However,  i believe it is beautiful enough... For the past few years, "Having enough" is a wonderful teaching to me.

At this moment, if you feel a bit too relax as you are not occupied by much organizing work....

May i invite you to become the helpers of another Plum Village retreat?

Is it scary? haha. This is a very small scale retreat.... but, for sure, it is an exciting one.

Now, I and Celia try to give ourselves a challenge... Once in our life time !

... to stay (practice or play) in Plum Village France for One whole year.

We want to begin with the winter retreat this year. That means, we have six months to make this dream come true.

If you want to retreat from your current busy life, or deepen your practice, or get close to positive energy ... and don't feel reluctant to stay with two of us... haha  :p

I would like to invite you to become our teammate.
(this invitation is not opened to the public)

I suggest even if you think that you are not able to go but you're still interested in the organizing work, please come to help us.

At this moment...

Let's not worry too much .... just enjoy the process of arranging this trip....together.
May the Buddha in our heart will show us the way!

Breathe and smile,

Two idiots

P.S. Sister Tue Nghiem said Thay usually have had a long trip every other year. This year, Thay has visited many countries to give talks and retreat camps. Next year, Thay will spend most of his time in Plum Village France. That is a very good condition for us to go. Sister Tue also said that when there is no retreat, it is so peaceful in Plum Village and it is good for us to practice looking deeply into our heart. She also shared that she has been aware the deep suffering of the Hong Kong people...as we bought a lot of stuffs and Calligraphies. We tend to use shopping to cover our pain. That is not a good sign.

In the other occasion, Sister Chia (Japanese) also encourages us to come Plum Village to have a longer retreat. It will definitely benefit oneself, also benefit the people in HK.
Hongkonger and Japanese are working too efficient. The practice of mindfulness is very important and  helpful for us.
