Going Like a Star Cluster - Remembering Home
This talk prepares for the three-month winter retreat at Cam Lo Temple, focusing on the Plum Village practice method of being present for oneself through breathing and walking. This helps recognize the five rivers of life: form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness. Thich Nhat Hanh shares childhood and youthful memories, emphasizing the creation of a beautiful spiritual family by living deeply in the present and understanding oneself and loved ones. He explains that we carry the bloodline of our ancestors and practice reunification by imagining living together with our parents before sleeping. Through practice, we connect more deeply with our ancestors and realize that we are not separate but part of a larger lineage. This helps liberate everyone in the lineage through practice and living mindfully with awakened consciousness.
