Mindfulness of Feelings / Brother Phap Linh

This is a short guided meditation offered by Brother Phap Linh. It was posted on YouTube on October 7 and recently mentioned in The Raft.

“America the Beautiful”

Jesse Palidofsky thinks that what America needs are new lyrics for its old song. He’s just released a beautiful single to help inspire and energize us during these tense weeks leading up to the election on November 3rd. Please listen and watch, then share this gem with your friends and social networks.

Recently, in celebrating Thay’s continuation day, Steven took a picture (via Zoom) of the Sangha singing “Happy Continuation Day to You” and sent it to Thay in care of the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation. This is how it came out. Also, in response to some questions, Steven says that today’s guided meditation was from Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Blooming of a Lotus, pages 107 & 108. The reading was excerpted from Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching, Chapter Eleven on Right Mindfulness.

Our Sangha

We are located in Denver, Colorado, U. S. A. We have been continuously sitting together since 2001. We come from all backgrounds, cultures and ideologies and have been drawn together by the Plum Village tradition and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. We sit together with the intention of increasing peacefulness and insight in families, our society, and ourselves. We have a wonderfully diverse group of practitioners, some with very little experience, others with many years of sitting.

Eyes of Compassion welcomes everyone regardless of your racial or ethnic heritage, gender identification, or sexual orientation. We expressly support the Call to Love in Action issued by the ARISE Sangha in our Tradition, and the Statement Speaking Out Against Anti-Asian Violence issued by the San Francisco Zen Center.

We meet in person once a week on Thursdays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, and once a week on Zoom on Sundays from 10:00 to 11:00 am. Our Wake Up Denver group (for people in their 20’s and 30’s) meets in person twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Join our e-mail list to get the Zoom links (see below).
