March’s mindful eating practice was a wonderful experience for those that were able to make it. OIMG is going to have another mindful eating evening this coming Friday, April 27.
Inspired by Mindful Eating as Food for Thought, an article in the New York Times about a practice at the Blue Cliff Monastery in Pine Bluff, N. Y., we decided to institute a series of meals based on their model on the last Friday at 7PM for the next six months and to call these the Last Friday Silent Supper. Our other inspiration is the Thich Nhat Hanh/Dr. Lilian Cheung book, Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life
As one’s practice deepens, varieties of different methods to grow with the Buddha’s teachings become clearer over time. These methods may include reading books, on-line resources, sitting every day, attending retreats, participating in book or poetry clubs, hikes, yoga, Sangha activities, spending time with a teacher, and many other possibilities. Each person’s path uniquely blends various combinations of these activities to learn, live, and love life more fully. One means OIMG offers is an intensive study group led by OIMG’s teacher, Peter Carlson
