Dear Friends, 

WMC has been running a special series of classes, reflecting on the Five Mindfulness Trainings and their significance in our daily lives. This coming Sunday evening, December 14, we will hold the final online class in this series, focused on the Fifth Mindfulness Training, Nourishment and Healing. 

The series has been in preparation for the beautiful transmission ceremony of the Trainings, which will take place on Saturday January 3rd, 2026, together with other sanghas from the region.

This Sunday, we will begin with a sitting meditation as usual. Then Jude and Nigel will lead us in a session of contemplation on the fifth training. After their introduction and reflections, we will open up for dharma sharing on issues related to this training and consumption in all its forms.

If you would like to join us and it will be your first time, please write to us at wmcsangha@gmail.com and we will send you the Zoom log-in details.

Our Sangha is supported by dana - donations given from the heart. Your generosity is a gift that supports the Vihara, WMC expenses, the library, and your own practice. Part of your tax deductible donation also goes to help the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation (which helps support our monks and nuns in monasteries around the world and also helps continue to spread Thay’s teachings everywhere) and automatic monthly donations can be scheduled at our website:

We’ll see you on Sunday

❤️

Love, Steve
