Dear Friends, This is a space to offer a gift to Thay. It is ongoing.
/Please add to this page by going to the Comments at the end of this page.
It begins with Thay’s birthday on October 11, 2020 and continues after that day. It is a place to reflect on how the Dharma has brought transformation in our lives from suffering to peace, and how the Dharma has touched us in our families, our work, our sangha, and our communities. Our gifts to Thay are the sharing we do on how the practices have brought joy, harmony and peace into our lives . Please use the Comment button below. You can also email office@bluecliffmonastery.org with your stories, images, video, music. Please go to this link to see sharings from our web page: https://www.bluecliffmonastery.org/gift-for-thay.
Breathing in, we offer our best to Thay
Breathing out, we aspire to continue Thay’s beautiful qualities in ourselves
Breathing in, Thay is younger, healthier and more energetic in each of us
Breathing out, we are more solid, calm and free because Thay is in us
Breathing in, we cherish the path that Thay has transmitted to us
Breathing out, may we walk together on this path in solidarity

Dear friends at Blue Cliff Monastery this is an audio recording I made as a tribute for Thay's 95th continuation day, with my warmest wishes Debra Hall xx
It is called ‘This Earth, this Love’
The spoken words in the audio are readings from Thay’s beautiful pocket walking meditation guide book and the songs are gathas I have written during the thirty five years I have been touched and inspired by his presence and joyful, accessible teachings.
