Monk Manifesto Visual Meditation

Pour yourself a cup of tea, close your eyes, and take three slow deep breaths.

Then open your eyes, press play below and enlarge the Vimeo screen, and allow the meditation to take you into the landscape of the Monk Manifesto through art and music. Three minutes inviting you to consider whether you might make being a monk in the world a deeper part of your life. (Join the Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks!)

"Beautiful. Profound and practical. A blessing to all the aspiring monks of our world."
