About Us
Welcome to the Seeds of Paddy Sangha, a mindfulness practice community based on Plum Village tradition (Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh) in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our Sangha sprouted after the first teaching trip by Plum Village delegation on last November 2008.
As the retreat and the art of mindful living practice bring out a lot of transformation and healing, watering our seeds of peace and joy, smile and ease, awareness and hapiness, thus we are aware that it is important to continue the practice in order to grow our beautiful seeds in us.
Practicing as a Sangha or a community in the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood walking together on the path, is like putting the seed in a soil. As Thay ( Thich Nhat Hanh ) said, the Sangha is the soil, and we are the seed. No matter how beautiful, how vigorous our seed is, if the soil does not provide us with vitality, our seed will die.
And as paddy seeds that need to grow together, not as a single grain, to offer their fragrant rice, let’s gather our wholesome seeds and grow together to offer the beauty to our family, our society, and to the world.
Breathe & smile,
SOP
