Viviendo Compasión - Programa de entrenamiento en el cultivo de la compasión con Sandra Sanabria (8 semanas)

Let Nature Teach You: Celebrating Earth Care Week with Ayya Santussika

Celebrating Earth Care Week

Saturday, October 3rd., 10;00 am-12:00 pm

On Zoom. Connect to Zoom here or with the information below

An opportunity to practice together and reflect on the Dhamma teachings of nature in our own experience. What aspects of nature have we pushed away? How can we collectively support the healing of our natural world?
If possible, join us from a natural setting or gather some elements of nature around you.

Let nature teach you ~ Ajahn Chah
“The forest is peaceful, why aren’t you? You hold on to things causing your confusion. Let nature teach you. Hear the bird’s song then let go. If you know nature, you’ll know Dhamma. If you know Dhamma, you’ll know nature.” – Ajahn Chah
