The details of this discussion focus on mindfulness practiced at Plum Village through daily activities such as walking, eating, and breathing. Each gesture is done with calm and joy, bringing peace and happiness. Mindfulness during meals, like observing a cloud in a piece of ice, reminds us of the interconnectedness of nature. Conscious consumption is essential to avoid mental toxins and protect future generations. Mindfulness helps manage negative emotions and cultivate positive seeds of joy and brotherhood. By practicing mindfulness, one can recognize and calm pain, reunite body and mind, and beautify the inner landscape. The mindfulness strategy includes recognizing sensations, meditating on the body, and watering positive seeds to foster happiness.
