Mindful sitting is nourished by all these activities, by the support of others in the group, and by the inspiration of teachings. With continued attendance our practice grows and bears fruit. For those who have practiced in other Buddhist traditions before and come with certain expectations, Thich Nhat Hanh represents a unified Buddhism where the southern and northern schools, Zen and Vipassana come together, and are infused by the intimate and contemporary flavour of his teaching. His practice of moment to moment mindfulness, attention to ordinary tasks, seeing poetry in everyday events, transformation and healing must be accepted on its own terms as an extraordinary contribution by a modern master. If coming for the first time, please consult "Beginning Meditation Practice". Buddhist practice has many aspects. As the Buddhist sage Nagarjuna once remarked, "There is no wisdom without meditation, and no meditation without wisdom." This Catch-22 situation requires that both of these items progress together. The program for each evening is designed so that our practice can get deeper with time and there is a focus on a different aspect of the practice each week.
