Mindfulness in Every Step and Action
This talk details the importance of mindfulness in daily actions, emphasizing mindful door-handling as a practice that cultivates mindfulness, concentration, beauty, freedom, and peace. It recounts the speaker’s experiences, including meeting Thomas Merton in 1966, silent lunches honoring Buddhist traditions, and visitors captivated by mindful practices at Plum Village. Mindfulness in washing dishes, eating, and walking meditation is highlighted, with teachings on mindful breathing, letting go of worries, and enjoying the present moment. Mindfulness and concentration are interconnected, leading to insight and happiness. The essence of Buddhist meditation is returning home to the Buddha within, embodying solidity and freedom in each step and action.
