Week of March 29, 2026

Look deeply: I arrive in every second

to be a bud on a spring branch,
to be a tiny bird, with wings still fragile,
learning to sing in my new nest,
to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,
to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.

I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry,
in order to fear and to hope.
The rhythm of my heart is the birth and

death of all that are alive.(Thich Nhat Hanh)

In-person practice

In-person practice at Roncesvalles every Saturday from 9:30 to 11:30 am at Roncesvalles United Church (214 Wright Avenue, Toronto, ON M6R1L3)

Online weekly sittings

Our Monday-Friday mornings online continue from 7:00-7:30 am.

Extended practice every Wednesday evening that begin at 7:00 pm and run for 1.5 hours. The extended practices give us an opportunity to listen to one another and to look more deeply at Buddhist practices and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and share our experience with them.

Dana

Giving (dana) is an essential Buddhist practice. It is about generosity, openness, and our capacity to embrace others with compassion and love. MPC is able to maintain our online presence, our in-person location, and all special events because of the generosity of volunteers and the donations or dana from our beloved community. Dana can come in the form of etransfers to mindfulnesspracticecommunity@gmail.com or at all in-person events. If you are unable to contribute financially, your smile, your practice, and your generous and open heart are enough. You are enough.
