This is the orientation talk for the 6-day retreat with the theme Transformation and Healing – The Art of Suffering. Peace, happiness, and love are skills we can learn. The art of happiness and the art of suffering. We suffer less if we learn how to suffer. With this start, we are reminded to take care of our happiness and our suffering. Following the introduction, the monastics chant the name of Avalokiteshvara. Following the chant, Thay turns the orientation over to two senior monastics who orientate the retreatants on the practice. http://youtu.be/Yo_El5mr1tY
