Back to the monastery :-)

Dear reader, if it hasn’t come through the way we write the articles in this blog, let us say it frankly now: all the monks and nuns have fallen in love with Latin America!...its lands and its peoples, animals, plants and minerals! We feel grateful for the welcome we were given everywhere, and deeply inspired by the way people who came to our events (and also the ones we randomly met in the streets and shops) received the nectar of mindfulness practice. Thanks to the mutual inspiration, our group of 3 lay angels (Wouter, Aurora, Joaquin) and 7 brothers and sisters (Brothers Phap Lieu, Phap Luu, Phap Khai, Phap The and Sisters Boi Nghiem, Hai Nghiem and Su Nghiem) grew in solidarity, brotherhood and sisterhood.

We also want to thank you, dear reader, for following us on the blog and for all the ways you supported this adventure throughout Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Nicaragua and Mexico.

May you be healthy, happy and free.

Un loto para ti,

The Vivir Despiertos team

Sunday, the 21st of Sept.

Dear friends,
We, the team of the Vivir Despiertos tour in Latin America, hope that you are well. We have been very moved and joyful to see how well our fund raising campaign has been supported so far, and we really wish to express our appreciation for your generosity. Thank you for caring about this project as much as we do!

As we are now starting to pack our suitcases, revise all the mindfulness vocabulary in Spanish and get a bit excited, we would like to also invite you to join in this Sangha collective energy by letting your family and friends know about our campaign.
Again a big thank you from the heart!
A lotus to you, a Buddha to be
The Vivir Despiertos team
