Being an Island Within Yourself
This talk details the practice of shining light in Plum Village, where practitioners seek collective insight from the Sangha to illuminate their strengths and weaknesses. This involves observation, insight, and feedback recorded in a “Letter of Shining Light,” which includes three parts: highlighting strengths, addressing weaknesses, and offering suggestions for growth. The process fosters mutual understanding and compassion, transforming spaces into supportive communities. Mindfulness, cultivated through breathing and mindful actions, reveals interconnectedness with ancestors and the cosmos, embodying Buddha and Dharma within oneself. Regular practice promotes harmony and transformation, guiding practitioners to recognize the illusion of a separate self and fostering peace and healing.
