Thich Nhat Hanh on How to Hug Deeply...

"You have to really hug the [one] you are holding. You have to make him or her very real in your arms.. breathing consciously and hugging with all your body, spirit, and heart. Hugging meditation is a practice of mindfulness. “Breathing in, I know my dear one is in my arms, alive. Breathing out, he or she is so precious to me.” If you breathe deeply like that, holding the person you love, the energy of your care and appreciation will pe*****te into [them] and they will be nourished and bloom like a flower." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

SAVE THE WEEKEND OF FEBRUARY 12-13
FOR TEACHINGS BY JIM SCOTT!
Sessions at 1 p.m. EST both Saturday and Sunday.

From www.ktgrinpoche.org:
“When Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche first came to the West in 1977, at the request and in the company of His Holiness Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the 16th Karmapa, Jim was fortunate to be in the original group of students to receive and follow Rinpoche.”

Khenpo Rinpoche taught at the Open Awareness Buddhist Center a few years in a row until a stroke in 2006 limited his activities. Jim Scott graciously added our center to his American tours after that and during the pandemic has continued teaching online.

From his bio: “Following Rinpoche's example, the programs Jim pilots have the characteristic feature of being closely linked with the texts of the tradition, though at the same time seen through the eyes of an ordinary person from a western background. All who have had the great good fortune of meeting Khenpo Tsultrim know that a special feature of his blessing transmission is his expression of the teachings in song. Jim Scott has played a central role in helping to make this possible in English. His dearest wish is to do whatever he can to help fulfill Rinpoche's vision of song as a path of awakening heart.”

Lama Karma Chotso adds, “Jim is a Dharma friend and this opportunity to receive his wisdom through teachings is very special! I encourage everyone to take advantage of it!”

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Lama Karma Chötso will teach the second in-person seminar on February 20th from 2-5 p.m. at Open Awareness Buddhist Center. www.miamibuddhism.org As with the January seminar, this one will include a meditation technique and singing a song of realization.
