After 4 years of teaching in Canada on the weekends over 400+ students meditation and dharma, this weekend we have broken into the Cantonese Toronto population. It will be our first weekend teaching this class in full Cantonese. In the past we have taught obviously English speaking, and even Mandarin (Wen's mother tongue)but, this weekend, Wen has to switch her tongue over now and teach in Cantonese. For anyone who doesn't realize, even though Chinese writing is the same, dialects differ quite drastically, so this will be a great challenge for Wen! I will sit by and listen and perhaps even pick up a few words here and there (as it too was my mother tongue back 40 odd years ago). It is exciting to reach this target audience as, the student who is bringing lots of people here, is a great boddhisattva introducing our method of meditation to her circle of friends and associates and break into Scarborough, Richmond Hill, Agincourt and Markham areas. Better get going now, as they will be here shortly. Om mani beimei hum, and keep practicing![ add comment ] ( 2410 views ) | permalink
