Sakya was national representative of the Sufi Movement Netherlands from 2014 to 2019.

Pearls
Current Sufi Writings
Pearls of Wisdom is a collection of Sufi poems, sayings and other philosophical writings gathered together by Murshida Kuan Yin Pujos-Michel after the 2018 Summer Pearls From the Ocean Unseen retreat.
Everyone, on our last day of the retreat and before Universal Worship, offered a 'Pearl of Wisdom'. After they finished saying their Pearl, they put them in a basket (in written form)..........mostly unsigned, using their own words or quotes. I asked for the authors of poems or specific quotes. We didn't look at the person when they delivered their pearl, but closed our eyes.....no discussion at all. They simply said their thoughts or quotes from others and then we moved on. Some didn't speak at all. Some offered 2 or 3 pieces.
Hope you enjoyed the offering.
