Gilbert 7 Days Retreat Sharing by Kit Leung

It is an amazing retreat with teacher Gilbert. He was using funny and easy ways to describe Buddhism theory and logic. Directly show us an example like him that could be possible and successfully using Buddhism in our daily life. Everyone can do it and make me feel so confident in myself. Also a good demonstration how different backgrounds or living standards people can be the same. Just align the dharma and what the sutra told us. Keep doing better everyday, focusing on every moment that we experienced.

Awareness, mind is sitting, present moment, all those wordings and teaching skills were very useful for us to do it in our living environment. Gilbert's teaching could solve some of my struggles and those unclear ideas in my head. After his explanation and sharing, it showed me how to work on it like him, and choose what ways or methods suit yourself.

A real person or teacher sharing in the retreat is most important, and he can adjust any topics and our standards everyday to provide his expertise and advice. It is a very good experience for me and I have no doubt or regret to give up my job to join this retreat. 

I got a lot from this retreat and am so happy to have all people and the teacher sharing.

Thank you so much.
