This week we invite you to listen to an evening of sharing which took place during the second night of the Order of Interbeing Retreat this past week at Deer Park Monastery. Monastics and lay friends share about the current situation of energy consumption in relation to our practice and global warming. Also included is a new chant for the Gatha for Inviting the Bell offered by Sisters Mai Nghiem and Thai Nghiem, which you may download separately <a href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/deerpark/bell_gatha_mai_thai_nghiem.mp3">here</a>.

Q&A Session - January

Dharma from Deer Park Monastery, a meditation practice center in the tradition of the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.  At Deer Park, the resident monks, nuns and lay sangha practice engaged Buddhism and mindfulness in everyday life for the nourishment and development of our spiritual and mental health. Each week, we post a selection of activities of the Deer Park Sangha so that others may share in the realization of awareness and freedom.  Deer Park is located in the mountains near Escondido, California and hosts regular Days of Mindfulness open to the public on Sundays beginning at 8:30 a.m. To learn more, visit www.deerparkmonastery.org
