This short guided meditation available on the free Plum Village App https://plumvillage.app/ is an excerpt from the 'The Way Out Is In' podcast series - conversations between journalist and Plum Village lay friend Jo Confino, and Plum Village monastic Brother Phap Huu alongside other guesting monastics. These meditations conclude each episode with practice contemplations on the theme.

-----
#7 'Spirit of the Rains Retreat': In this episode, Jo and Brother Phap Huu look at the Buddhist tradition on the 3-month Rains Retreat -- a time when monastic communities would gather during the wet period of the year. As well as a time to rest from their travels, it gave them the opportunity to deepen their practice in the stability of one location. The Rains Retreat is observed at Plum Village each year where monastic and lay friends spend time together. In this meditation, Brother Phap Huu invites us to touch that stability and stillness:  "Breathing in, there is calm, stillness."
