Applied Ethics
The details of this discussion include the exploration of the vision of the Buddhas, present everywhere in various forms such as mountains, rivers, trees, and lotus flowers. The Buddhas do not seek happiness elsewhere and can be human beings or elements of nature. By practicing mindfulness, breathing, and cultivating inner peace, each person can rediscover their Buddha nature and radiate compassion. Each person possesses a Buddha’s eye to recognize the suffering in others, and a Buddha’s ear to listen with compassion. Mindfulness transforms suffering into joy and compassion, essential for acting with right view, right speech, and right action. Meditation helps to recognize and transform our negative thoughts and emotions into positive ones. By practicing mindfulness, we water the positive seeds within ourselves and others, fostering immediate happiness and inner transformation. The five mindfulness trainings, taught to younger generations, aim to reduce suffering and generate joy and happiness. Mindfulness can be practiced by everyone, transcending religious boundaries, and taught in schools to help children manage stress and recognize the conditions of present happiness. Communication and reconciliation can be restored through compassionate listening and loving speech, even in difficult family relationships.
