This talk details envisioning humanity as a garden where each person is a flower, embodying beauty and freshness through meditation. Practicing pebble meditation involves collecting four pebbles, sitting in a circle, and meditating on qualities like flowerness and mountain solidity. Mindfulness breathing and walking unite body and mind, fostering concentration and awareness in everyday activities. Mindfulness involves recognizing the miracle of being alive, appreciating life’s wonders, and cultivating happiness by letting go of attachments. Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and insight leads to profound insights and liberation from suffering. Mindfulness in daily acts, gratitude towards our bodies, and recognizing positive elements cultivate happiness. Mindfulness, concentration, and insight relieve suffering and cultivate joy.
