SUMMARY:Day of Mindfulness with Richard Brady
DESCRIPTION:Kingfisher Sangha invites you to \nSPACIOUS MIND\, INCLUSIVE HEART\nA DAY OF MINDFULNESS with Dharma Teacher Richard Brady\nOctober 19\, 2024 | 9:30-3:30 pm ET. All are welcome!\nUU Society of Schenectady | 1221 Wendell Ave.\, Schenectady\, NY 12308 \nThich Nhat Hanh has established a tradition\, on the eve of the Lunar New Year\, of offering the sangha a simple poetic couplet in calligraphy that can inspire and nurture our mindfulness practice throughout the year. For the Year of the Dragon\, 2024\, Spacious Mind\, Inclusive Heart have been offered for our practice. These verses seem particularly relevant to the times in which we find ourselves. As Sr. Chan Duc wrote: “ . . . we have a chance to look at how much room there is in our heart and how much space there is in our mind. We need a spacious mind in order to deepen our understanding and with more understanding we grow the capacity of heart to include all.” \n***** \nRichard Brady (True Dharma Bridge) is a retreat leader\, writer\, educational consultant\, and coordinator of the Wake Up Schools. He is a founder of the Mindfulness in Education Network\, an international organization with 1\,700 participants. In 2001\, he received lamp transmission from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to be a Dharma teacher in his tradition with a special focus on cultivating mindfulness in young people. In 2008 Richard’s spouse Elisabeth Dearborn\, True Lotus Color\, and he founded the Mountains and Rivers Mindfulness Community in southeast Vermont\, US\, where they now live. Richard has been a friend and support to Kingfisher Sangha for many years and we welcome him back for this Day of Mindfulness. \n***** \nPlease bring with you:\n* a cushion if you use one for meditation\n* a vegetarian lunch\n* a yoga mat and/or blanket for total relaxation\n* layered clothes and socks. Sometimes the room can be overly hot\, and sometimes it’s quite cold during total relaxation time! \nDana: Richard’s teachings are offered freely. We can show our gratitude for the teachings by giving donations (dana) when we attend the Day of Mindfulness. \nRSVP to Christine Kingery at ChristineKingery96@gmail.com \nRichard will also be giving a reading from his new book Short Journey Home: Awakening to Freedom with Thich Nhat Hanh on October 20 at Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs sponsored by Northshire Books.

Follow your breath\, take hold of it\, and don’t let your thoughts scatter. Measure your steps with quiet\, long breaths. Maintain a half smile. \nIn the morning\, make yourself a pot of tea. Sit and drink it in mindfulness. Drink it slowly and reverently\, as if it is the center of the universe. Do not rush the future. It will come when it comes. Live in the present moment instead. Don’t worry about things you have to do yet. Don’t think about what will happen next. Just be. \nBe as distant from your phone and computer as you can manage. Try to spend a good part of your day outside\, whether that’s walking in nature or working in your garden. Take some time to simply enjoy the natural world. Watch the clouds or the birds. Breathe in the outside air. Watch the sunset if you can see it. Then\, when it’s time\, return to your bed and fall asleep in mindfulness.” \nWe look forward to seeing you on September 17th!
