In this recording of the Six Earth Touchings, Thay invites us to bow with gratitude to the ancestors in our blood family; our spiritual family; our land ancestors; our loved ones; those who have caused us harm, and our ancient spiritual traditions and roots.
May we be nourished by the vitality, wisdom, happiness and insights that have been transmitted to us, and recognise the suffering, wrong perception and other elements to be transformed.
