I breathe in, therefore I am alive
The details of this discussion emphasize that love goes beyond consumption, involving a deep connection and mutual understanding. To love means to understand and take care of the other’s needs, as parents do for their children. It is essential to take the time to listen and understand those we love to strengthen love and reduce suffering. The practice of mindfulness, taught by the Buddha, helps to reconnect the mind and body, bringing peace and relaxation. This includes exercises like conscious breathing, sitting meditation, and mindful walking, allowing for the reduction of tension and the cultivation of joy. Mindfulness helps to recognize and embrace suffering, bringing relief and allowing the development of compassion. A community of practice, or sangha, offers support and collective energy to practice together. Understanding suffering allows us to cultivate true love and compassion, essential for loving fully. The kingdom of God is present in every element of life, and understanding suffering allows us to generate love and understanding, creating joy and happiness in all circumstances.
