Cultivating Clarity, Compassion, and Courage in Political Life 2
This talk details the importance of retreating to the peaceful refuge within oneself through mindful breathing, emphasizing Buddhist teachings on the “island within.” Closing sensory doors, practicing mindful breathing and walking, and nurturing store consciousness are key to maintaining inner peace. Consciousness continuously works, even in sleep, guiding us effortlessly. Cultivating mindfulness connects us to the present moment, revealing life’s wonders and nurturing compassion. Mindfulness in daily activities like drinking tea or brushing teeth fosters clarity and joy. Practicing mindfulness collectively, such as in retreats, enhances harmony and compassion, benefiting personal and communal well-being.
