Die Wunder des Lebens Berühren
A talk by Thich Nhat Hanh followed by practice with the monks and nuns of the EIAB during the Day of Mindfulness, June 2nd, 2013 in the European Institute of Applied Buddhism, Waldbrol, Germany. The sangha has just returned from a couple of months in Asia and will be at the EIAB for a month offering retreats. The talk is given in English with consecutive translation into German.
The dharma talk is rain that can penetrate into the soul of our mind. Our mind is a garden with many good seeds within it, seeds of happiness and compassion. The dharma talk is not a set of ideas to get and keep but is a rain that can let the good seeds sprout, allowing these seeds to spring up. With mindfulness, we can create a feeling of joy and happiness. It is simple and easy. We just need to pay attention to our breath and every step we take. It only takes 2-3 seconds to see that you are alive. The first enlightenment is that you are alive! You can become a free person.
How do we become aware of our body? How do we become aware of our feelings? Mindfulness functions to recognize and embrace, carrying with it the energy of concentration and insight. How does this work with love and reconciliation? Mindfulness of compassion, especially in regards to listening.
