The Broward Lotus Sangha

The Vietnamese Buddhist Cultural Center of Florida
Are pleased to invite you to a
Day of Mindfulness
In the Tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhẩt Hạnh
Led by Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue
Sunday, October 26, 2008
In Davie, FL
From 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue is a Monastic Dharma Teacher who was ordained as a Buddhist monk by Zen Master Thich Nhẩt Hạnh (Thây) in Plum Village, France, in 1989. He currently serves as the Abbott of Tu Viện Hương Hải, a Vietnamese Buddhist Monastery in Florida.
This Plum Village-style Day of Mindfulness (DOM), conducted in English and Vietnamese, will provide a wonderful opportunity for those who want to deepen their mindfulness practice with time for reflection and silence in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhẩt Hạnh. Throughout the day, we will enjoy periods of sitting and walking meditation, chanting, and mindful movements, as well as Deep Relaxation, a Dharma Talk by Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue and Dharma Sharing from the fourth-fold Sangha. We will enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch, tea ceremony, and dinner lovingly prepared by the monastic Sangha. There will also be an opportunity for those who wish to formally take the 5 Mindfulness Trainings to do so at the end of the day.
Please arrive before 8:00 A.M. so you can relax and absorb the peaceful beauty of the natural surroundings and to help the Sangha set up for the day. Please respect and appreciate noble silence during the duration of the formal activities of the day. An opportunity for sharing and mindful conversation will be provided towards the end of the DOM.
This event is free an open to all practitioners. However, your generosity in providing a donation or Dana for the monastic and lay Sanghas is gratefully accepted and encouraged. Your kind donation to the community of practitioners or Sangha helps us defray the costs associated with this DOM and supports our activities.
Thich Nhẩt Hạnh’s CDs, DVDs, books, and Sangha T-Shirts with his calligraphy will be available during the DOM.
To register, please e-mail Tony at strega_flies@earthlink.net. Directions and a list of what to bring will be sent to all registered participants. Please register as soon as possible so we can plan the meals for the day.
