To Cherish

Tai Chi & Meditation Saturday Service 19 July 2008

Ten regular members and five visitors participated in the service. The theme of motive meditation this week was ‘to cherish’. The participants were asked to focus on and mindfully appreciate objects to cherish, accepting why we do things and feeling how we feel. Venerable Miaoyu asked them to eliminate their feelings of discrimination and attachment to become neutral.

During the following discussion it was explained that attachment is the root of all suffering and to acknowledge that although life is precious it is impermanent. We can’t live in the past because it has gone and we must let go and enjoy the moment.
