This talk details a 21-day retreat starting on June 1st, focusing on mindfulness practices taught through classical Chinese poems. The first poem, “Waking up, I smile,” urges embracing each day with compassion and recognizing the gift of 24 new hours. Mindfulness transforms ordinary actions into spiritual practices, bridging worldly and sacred realms. Mindfulness, concentration, and insight nurture spirituality, akin to divine energies bringing compassion and healing. Understanding suffering fosters compassion, crucial for peace and happiness. Mindful breathing and walking meditation cultivate immediate peace and joy, emphasizing freedom and happiness in the present moment. True peace and happiness come from within, transcending external desires, and contribute to a peaceful world. Sharing this wisdom daily fosters inner peace and joy.
