On May 10th, we had the distinct honor of once again hosting Venerable Jian-Gong Shih (Shifu) from the Chung Tai International Retreat Center 中台國際禪修中心 (Texas Pagoda Chan Monastery). Shifu compassionately expounded the Dharma and provided invaluable guidance on meditation in stillness and while in motion.

In a joint celebration of Mother's Day, the Abbot graciously taught us the importance of mindful eating, emphasizing how cultivating awareness during our meals can deepen our spiritual practice and daily wellness. To help us integrate these teachings into our daily lives, our host, Chuan Ying, prepared and distributed a practical mindful-eating tracker worksheet.

We are incredibly grateful to Shifu and everyone who joined us for this meaningful day of reflection, community, and gratitude.
