Sangha gathering 僧團練習

I had chance to host a temporary sangha meeting with some elderly Taiwanese Buddhist friends who we joined Buddhism class few years ago in local temple. They are reading Thay's book now, so I am invited to share my experience with them.

This was the first time I invited the bell in front of public. Most of time I practice alone at home to practice inviting the bell. I was so nervous in the beginning and these senior Buddhists were so mindful to accept everything I shared with them including guided sitting meditation, walking meditation, tea meditation and Dharma sharing. I felt calm and peace immediately when we started to sit together. What an amazing transformation of mindfulness.

昨日去印儀，跟老齡同學分享正念禪法。這是我第一次帶著罄對其他人共修，一開始拿罄的手還在抖呢。但老齡同學接受度很高，一開始坐禪的能量立即穩定，我也就穩定下來..


正念禪修體驗的流很順暢，讓大家充滿法喜（還要提醒自己無常，不要執著），跟這群老齡同學不常見面，但總有機會連結，眞的，大家學佛學到高級班畢業，能量就不一樣了!

陽光法師說她在辦公室也感覺到這股能量了，還特地出來跟我們一起茶禪，很感謝跟印儀還有同學們有很難得的因緣
