"See my second response. :-)" - Kenley Neufeld

"Well, it was much easier than I thought and just had to turn it on. You now have the option to email, print, Facebook, or Tweet a post." - Kenley Neufeld

"Thanks for the suggestion Frank; I'll look into that option. In the meantime, you can just copy the address and paste it into a Facebook post." - Kenley Neufeld

"Like you, I recieve a lot of email and likewise a fast reader (I've kept my inbox has been less than 25 messages for years). Been using Sanebox about six months and love it. It's particularly useful if you use the mail app on iOS because the folder structure actually works unlike when using Gmail's priority inbox. Well worth the price." - Kenley Neufeld

"Hi Faye. You haven't missed anything or done anything wrong. The community ran into some technical difficulties today and weren't able to open the registration. I put a link on the page now and they hope to have registration available on Saturday. Here's the link." - Kenley Neufeld

"Thank you Sophie. I hope to get another post up soon." - Kenley Neufeld

"Hi Karen. The prices will be posted when the retreat goes on sale later this week. :-)" - Kenley Neufeld

"The talk was given in French and I only have French available at this time. Since we have focused primarily on English-only posts, I am hesitant to post it." - Kenley Neufeld

"The practice of noble silence is usually determined by the retreat organizers at the time of the retreat. As with our practice centers around the world, we will always have noble silence from after the evening activity until after breakfast." - Kenley Neufeld

"Avalokiteshvara is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Deep Listening. A bodhisattva is literally "enlightened being," one committed to enlightening oneself and others so that all may be liberated from suffering. The chant is simply her name along with namo which is a phrase uttered when paying homage or respect to someone or something. The actual words are "Namo 'valokiteshvaraya" repeated." - Kenley Neufeld

"Watch this page to see where the tour will be next year." - Kenley Neufeld

"Just put your name in the box on the right side of this page; it's called "SUBSCRIBE TO SITE UPDATES"" - Kenley Neufeld

"I'm not 100% certain where to recommend, but I do see ads in Shambala Sun every month for bells." - Kenley Neufeld

"We hope to have the tour dates and locations by the December." - Kenley Neufeld

"The Watsonville visit was last year; not sure this will happen on this tour yet." - Kenley Neufeld

"Children are welcome at pretty much all of Thay's retreats." - Kenley Neufeld

"We did visit Canada last tour, as you may know, and it will continue to be a part of our planning discussions." - Kenley Neufeld

"Typically, we hold an annual summer retreat in Plum Village every year and that precludes a visit to North America at that time. Of course, things could change at some point but this is the plan for the near future." - Kenley Neufeld

"Thay is healing from his long retreat season over the last few months." - Kenley Neufeld

"Welcome Melissa! We're happy to have you at SBCC (and I live you're sibling competition)" - Kenley Neufeld

"The French talks are available on the Plum Village YouTube channel (so video only) and look for those labeled French." - Kenley Neufeld

"Much of what you hear are the translators into a dozen different languages plus all the children who usually come to the summer opening. It's a lively retreat. :-)" - Kenley Neufeld

"Indeed. It does happen from time to time. At least the words of Thay are reasonably good even if we can't really hear the questions. I used headphones and it made a big difference." - Kenley Neufeld

"Nice. :-)" - Kenley Neufeld

"I too find it pretty awesome to have you in Australia listening and enjoying the talks in our worldwide sangha. Peace." - Kenley Neufeld

"Thanks Patty! It's very nice to hear from readers of the site." - Kenley Neufeld

"Hello friend. Thank you for the question and the interest. At this time, we have been asked not to share the 21-day retreat talks online. That said, I will continue to ask and see if we can make this possible in the future. If yes, then you can be sure the talks will appear here online." - Kenley Neufeld
