Freedom: The Foundation of True Happiness

The Interbeing Nature of the Three Times: Past Present and Future
Thầy shares that we must practice breathing, walking, and everything in our life in a way that brings us more freedom. We do this by living in the present moment. If we have freedom, we can build a beautiful future and a beautiful past. Thầy describes time as a circle, using the analogy of a slide projector. The past, present, and future are all contained in the present moment. Any thought that we produce in the present moment has an immediate effect on our body and our mind, and it has the power to heal our body and mind and the bodies and minds of others. Thầy points out that all our thoughts, speech, and actions are contained in our store consciousness. What’s in our store consciousness is alive and continues to change and mature to become something different. Collective karma is powerful and can create change. Mindful breathing allows us to realize that we’re alive in the here and the now, and we’re free. Our practice of mindfulness allows us to build a beautiful past so a beautiful future is possible.
This talk was given on a Day of Mindfulness during the spring retreat in 2012. Thầy offered this talk at the New Hamlet, Plum Village, France.
