Ven. Xian
Zhong, Shirley and Danny from IBS came to visit us last Sunday Dec 16th
with a good lesson. Our Sangha (Sunyata Sangha) has been setup for 5 weeks and
slowly getting stronger. Because of its newness we have been going over a lots
of the rituals, prostrations, etc. I was very glad when our teacher Ven. Xain
Zhong went over the correct way to prostrate. I did not know it had an element
to a workout to it. I also did not know that there was a correct way to breathe
when you do it but when you know the reason why it all makes sense. I also
learned that there I a very good and coherent way to explain the prostrations
to people think that we are worshiping an IDOL; when in fact we are respecting
the teacher and teachings of a wise one that came before us.
I feel real
good and ready to take on the world when our teacher comes. I get hope from
seeing them and that renewal of spirit carries over in to our weekly Sangha
meeting.
My goal is to
make our Sangha stronger and benefit more people through our Sangha.
