Listening to the Bell: Selective Watering
This is the second Dharma talk offered by Thay for the Mindfulness Retreat for Educators, scheduled to begin at 9:45am EST on Tuesday, August 13th, 2013, at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. The 91-minute talk, given by Thich Nhat Hanh during the 2013 Nourishing Great Togetherness teaching tour, is part of a 6-day retreat with the theme “Happy Teachers will Change the World.” The session begins with two chants from the monastics.
The talk includes a story of a dream Thay had 20 years ago about being a young university student with a famous teacher in a music class, followed by a teaching on how to be a good bell master. Main topics covered are practicing mindfulness in a meeting, establishing space in the home for practice, slow walking to arrive, mental formations, the Four Objects of Mindfulness (body, feelings, mind, objects of mind), selective watering (True Diligence), and eating meditation.
Additionally, the talk covers all 16 exercises of mindful breathing as explained by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
