Sutra on Mindful Breathing: Exercises 1—8
Thầy offers teachings on the first eight steps of the Sutra on Mindful Breathing, including belly breathing and awareness of the rising and falling of the abdomen. He reminds us that we are much more than one emotion, and that this practice allows us to recognize and care for our feelings.
Thầy shares about the practices of loving speech and deep listening, particularly in the context of family relationships and education. He reflects on how these practices can help relieve suffering and be transmitted to students. The talk concludes with teachings on how death can be truly understood and approached with wisdom.
This talk was given during the Applied Ethics and Teachers Retreat in the year 2012. Thầy offered this talk in the Lower Hamlet, Plum Village, France.
