This Dharma Talk explores the interconnection between immersing oneself in nature and the journey towards a non-violent lifestyle. From meditating outdoors, deeply connecting with spring, to understanding creation and manifestation in Buddhism, all pave the way for profound awareness of the interconnectedness with all phenomena. This connection affirms the value of respecting all forms of life and practicing daily meditation as a means to nourish the soul, manifesting in wholesome actions and freedom from fear.

Through sharing pain and supporting each other in the community, along with approaching peace education, the non-violent campaign is proposed as a practical path towards comprehensive happiness and peace. Rejecting violence, both in thought and action, is encouraged not only at the individual level but also to be extended to the economic and social levels. The Dharma Talk concludes with a strong message on guiding the practice of non-violence in all aspects of life, from individual, family to society, calling for a sustainable community that does not create further division or violence.
