Children - Body and Mind
This 90-minute Dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh at the Dutch Retreat on the theme “Body and Mind Are One” at the European Institute of Applied Buddhism in Waldbröl, Germany, explores the interconnection between body and mind. Thay invites us to meditate on whether the body can exist without the mind and vice versa, and extends this inquiry to relationships such as father and son, mother and daughter, revealing the concept of continuation and interbeing.
He emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment, where body and mind are united through mindfulness, allowing us to release the past and our projects to discover freedom and recognize the conditions for happiness that are already present. The talk includes teachings on the first eight exercises of mindful breathing and the three kinds of energy generated by meditation: mindfulness, concentration, and insight. It concludes with a teaching on the Four Noble Truths and the noble eightfold path.
