Cultivating the Mind of Love
Mindfulness Retreat at Magnolia Grove Monastery, Batesville,
Mississippi
September 28th - October 2nd, 2011
“Look at the flowers, butterflies, trees and children with the eyes of
compassion. This is a deep practice…The energy of compassion in you
will transform life and make it more beautiful-- compassion is always
born out of understanding, and understanding is the result of looking
deeply-“ Thich Nhat Hanh, Cultivating the Mind of Love
Please join Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the International
Delegation of monks and nuns from Plum Village, Deer Park and Blue
Cliff Monasteries for a Mindfulness retreat at Magnolia Grove
Monastery, our newest center in the United States. The monastery is
located one-hour away from Memphis, Tennessee, and it is situated in a
spacious 120 of acres peaceful and beautiful oak forest.
All of us have a deep desire to love and to be loved. In this
retreat, we will learn the art of true love, including the elements of
loving kindness, compassion, joy and inclusiveness. With the practices
of mindful sitting, mindful walking, mindful eating, mindful working,
loving speech and deep listening, we actively deepen the emotional and
spiritual aspects in our lives so that our love may truly nourish
ourselves and those we vow to love. Mindfulness enables us to
cultivate the Mind of Love and to manifest ourselves most beautifully
as flowers in the garden of humanity. This is a greatest gift of true
love to ourselves and to the world.To unsubscribe, please click on
