Christmas Talk
As a monk, the bell’s sound carries significance learned through poems, uniting body, speech, and mind to awaken compassion and calm. Deep listening dissolves afflictions, fostering peace. Reflecting on travels, the bell’s resonance deeply touched me, akin to serene water sounds from childhood. Vietnamese struggle with identity, but reconnecting roots nurtures fulfillment. Happiness arises from embracing nature’s beauty and mindful consumption, reducing suffering. Christmas echoes Vietnamese traditions, emphasizing familial roots. Buddha and Jesus symbolize mindfulness and compassion, guiding transformative practices. Embrace mindfulness to acknowledge and transform negativity, fostering peace. Buddha and Jesus coexist harmoniously, embodying wisdom and love. Despite religious differences, unity and mutual respect nurture understanding and acceptance.
