"Embracing and Transforming Fear with Mindfulness and Non-Fear"
This talk details fear, particularly its cycle passed down unknowingly by parents, and the Buddhist practice of cultivating non-fear within oneself to share genuine love with others. Buddha’s teachings emphasize nurturing seeds of non-fear, solidity, and freedom within us, seeking refuge in stable sources like the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, and reliable natural elements such as the sun, earth, ocean, and mountain. Mindfulness practices, including walking, breathing, smiling, and serving, nurture self-confidence and stability, reducing fear and uncertainty. Upholding mindfulness trainings fosters protection for oneself and the Sangha, contributing to its integrity and unity. Mindfulness rejects actions breaking ethical precepts, ensuring one’s valued role within the Sangha. Embrace fear tenderly, practicing mindfulness to nurture inner security and offering stability to others.
