Today I went to a Buddhist retreat for the second time. Just like the first time I went, we did the Loving Kindness Meditation, one in the morning in a sitting position and one in the afternoon on a walking meditation.
During my meditations, I felt inspired to create my own meditation text which complements the Loving Kindness Meditation on a perspective for my own manifestation:
I am kind.
I am not angry.
I do not hold grudges.
I am calm.
I cultivate peace.
The last part of the retreat, the Bhante asked us what we have observed amongst us participants of the retreats, "what do you think was present amongst you?", the Bhante said. Since we were a small group, I decided to "talk-participate" and said "peaceful energy". To my surprise, it was exactly what the Bhante was looking for since it became the segway to his teaching about the ultimate goal that is peace.
I am truly amazed that my self-composed meditation text coincided with the today's teaching, it feels indeed that it is the result of the divine energy that came out from today's solemn retreat.
