Time: 8.30 pm
Topic: Be Still and Know: Seeing our inter-being nature
Synopsis: Human is one of many species living on this planet earth. Yet, we have been acting like we are the one and only species, using a lot of natural resources to serve our greeds – in the process destroying living environments of many other species driving them to extinction. Realizing we are inter-be with other species, we can live in harmony with them. Seeing that we are not separate from other people, we know that our happiness depend on other’s happiness and vice versas. This will bring peace and happiness and make our lives more sustainable. We will go back to our breathing, calming ourselves, and see how the practice of stopping and clear seeing can help us deal with the stress of modern life.
