First visit of Plum Village Delegates to Indonesia

In this rushing world
You come with your gentle step

Through your lotus smile
You show us the way of happiness and understanding

With your sea of compassion
You water the seed of joy in us

With the stream of your calmness
You open the door of
“Present Moment, Wonderful Moment”

On November, Plum Village delegates visited Indonesia for the first time. The delegates were Brother Phap Kham, Brother Phap Tinh, Sister Thoai Nghiem, and Sister Hy Nghiem. We also enjoyed the presence of a friend from Malaysian Sangha, Chew Yee. The delegates were scheduled to give Dharmatalk on November 7th in Jakarta and lead a retreat from November 13th-16th in Bogor, suburb of Jakarta. The theme for both events were "Present Moment Wonderful Moment". The talk was attended by around 300 people, while the retreat around 80 people.
