Hi Anguyo, how are you? Thanks for organizing MOONFEST in Kampala... In Cape Town we'll celebrate MoonFest at the Ubuntu spa again, any rebels that will be in the mother city are welcome to join, 99 Kloof Street, 6 -7 pm.

Questions for the Q&A Session with Venerable Joshua,

1. What other ways are there to find peace within, other than meditation?
2. There is a belief that an 'empty mind' is someon who is unintelligent, how would you respond to a statement like that?

Another question, How was meditation 'invented'? I mean, how did the practice of meditation come about?

Hello Denis;

That's great. Count me in.

What time will it be?

Thanks

Julius

Hello everyone!!

hello rebels u can now reach me on 0784562372. 5:30pm Bahia Temple see you there.

Another question for the live session, I've heard of contemplation since I started meditating. How is contemplation different from meditaiton? Do the two support each other, or not?

MEDITATION gives the message of vastness. In meditation one relaxes the mind. There is no object in meditation. That would be contemplation. Thoughts, images and other sensations may enter your mind, but you will pay no attention to them. The point in meditation is to gain control of your mind, by ignoring all the whirling gears that fly around within it. The meditation technique that I use, is to focus in the center of my body the point of peace and to completely disregard the objects of my consciousness. This isn't easy. The mind likes to be in control, so when you try to meditate, the mind will conjure up all manner of mental phenomena to distract you. But if you can focus in the center of the body the point of peace for about 2 minutes when you sit to control your mind in stillness, rather than allowing the mind to lead you around and when you use this technique you discover that the mind can become a most obedient and efficient tool.

WHILE AS

CONTEMPLATION gives the message of inseparable oneness. In contemplation, one takes an object or principle, and one focuses upon it. Your concentration becomes immersed in the object of contemplation, until you become one with it. Images,ideas and thoughts concerning what you are contemplating, come to your mind, revealing its true nature. Contemplation is a great tool for discovering truth.

Question for the live session, 1(a)Why do we practice insight meditation? (b) What is the benefit of mindfulness?

As we Bhutanese believe that the Full Moon day is auspicious day which is good to accumulate double the merit for good deeds, I have observed the day without eating meat and fish that came directly from ones life. This is the sign that one respects others life.

However, joining the hands with MoonFest, I have sat before the midnight when the moon was young enough. Attached here are the some of pictures along with my friend.

This is the Full Moon sight of 2 December 2009. However, I couldn't adjust the moon along with my picture due to the height of the moon.

These are beautiful pictures! Its so wonderful to share inner peace with the world with all the peace rebels around the world. Yesterday was the 10th time Peace Revolution had a meditation on the full moon day to share IP from within, and I was thinking to myself yesterday, its as though the Full Moon Silent Party graduated to become MoonFest! :-) I'm really looking forward to Snoozy Moon on the 10th.

The LIVE session was really cool with LP Josh, and the Q&A session was very interesting. Thanks LP for answering my questions.

I' like to share the pictures of Merry Moon Fest in Cape Town yesterday evening. Here is Tanya, Lara and Marja in the peace position.

Here you can see Jens and Claudio(seated on the floor). Yesterday was their first time to practice inner peace time.

Group Photo afterwards with Phra Kitsakol from the Cape Town meditation center, I invited him to lead the meditaiton for MoonFest.

Wonderful job!!!! you deserve kudos...they really look very peaceful. well done all!

i like the pictures and your moon fest was wonderful thanks for wonderful work.

Dennis and Karchung I have uploaded your photos that you put here at our facebook fan page.. http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=187852505918&view=all

Is It ok?

Thank you for your sharing

Respected Joy,

I don't have any objection as long as it is used for the benefit of others. I love to see my picture there on the facebook fan page.

Thanks for uploading there.

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks, CarC

Some questions for Snoozy Moon Q&A,

1. I know some long distance runners, they tell me when they run for a long time they reach a state of clarity, a kind of super focus, and also they do not feel their body, or the pain in their body from the running. Is this similar to the state of clarity one can reach in meditaiton? How are they the same, or how are they different?

2. Can only humans meditate, are there other living beings that can meditate, eg animals?

questions for SnooZy moon Q$A.

(1)How do you find inner peace or satisfaction in life when things goes wrong? (2)How do I know if Peace at Work is right for me?

See you for Snoozy moon in an hour!

Tomorrow is dreamy moon! I look forward to the live session on the Peace Revolution Channel, same time GMT 13:00. I hope to see many peace rebels and peace agents online.

What I love about MoonFest is the feeling of unity with all the other peace rebels in the world. Its amazing to know that we are all stilling the mind together and sharing the light of peace as one.

Although world peace seems like an impossible task sometimes(especially when I watch the news)...I know that it starts from only a tiny point in me.
SMALL THINGS BECOME GREAT THINGS, when we do it the right way. So also, inner peace will become world peace when we do it together.

I salut PEACE REVOLUTION!

I would like to ask the teaching monk(will it be Venerable Joshua), what do you do when it feels like your inner peace time practice is not progressing, or progressing very little? Is it an indication of doing something wrong? or is this normal, and just part of the process?

I'd also like to ask if we can have an installment of the teaching of the 5 rooms in every MoonFest session? Maybe we could start with the bedroom tomorrow, and follow on the other rooms for the Wakening Moon session and the next Merry Moon session.

questions for Dreamy moon session; (1)Do you need a mantra to meditate? (2)What do you do when you see that you're not reaching your goal or dream?

Peace Rebels, tomorrow is awakening moon!

The minds of many have already been exposed to inner peace. It is possible that people everywhere could come down with inner peace in epidemic proportions if we share peace together!

Join moonfest tomorrow and share inner peace together. The live session will be broadcast from the Peace Revolution Channel GMT 13:00, and you can see the time in your country by clicking on the Awakening moon icon(24 Dec).

Together we can do it!

It was really a nice hearing from Ven. Joshua

PIPO to all

Once in a blue moon...

Today is full moon, the second Merry Moon for Moonfest in December 2009. A blue moon is considered a very rare lunar phenomenon, and I think its super special that we have a blue moon on the first month we started Moonfest together. Moreover, a blue moon falls on new year's even only once every twenty years.
This is the perfect way to start 2010, the year of the Peace Revolution. See you about an hour for Merry Moon. PIPO

Hello Peace Rebels and peace coaches. Looking forward to Dreamy Moon today at GMT 12:00, I hope to see you all there, and sharing inner peace with the world!

Hello peacefinders,

I am really grateful to such project as Buddha said,

'Commit not a single unwholesome action, Cultivate a wealth of virtue, Tame completely this mind of ours, This is the teaching of the buddhas.'

This project consists of all those activities. Thus, i like it very much!!!

Thanks DRUKDA....we are here to hear more from you...and your experiences on Inner Peace (meditation)...

Calling all peace rebels, peace agents, peace coaches and peace lovers! Tomorrow is Awakening moon(first quarter). Hope to see you on the PR Channel for the live broadcast. It is my honour to do this with all of you together-sharing peace to the world from the origin of peace. And I feel what we are doing here is so important.
