Japanese aesthetic and the three lakshanas
7–11 June 2024
Wabi-sabi retreat aka A Moderate Awakening
Led by Vajradarshini
(Translated from Dutch:)
Boeddhawierde…
It is the kind of place where church bells remind you
To your transience
Where the two cats are so zen
That you see them leading the meditations
It is one of those places where things just work out
Beyond thinking to feel love:
There would be a Source, neither temporary nor imperfect,
Just a smile far – so close
It is one of those places where you can just see a tree
Like you’ve never seen before
Where it can just happen
That connection grows in a song
It is such a place where you become silent
And – thankfully – some of that silence
Gets to take home
It is such a place
What you always thought…
