Nirvana Is the Path
This talk details a retreat at Plum Village in 2014, highlighting Elizabeth’s transformation from grief to compassion through mindfulness, leading a grief group rooted in mindfulness. The Buddha’s teachings emphasize interconnectedness in the eightfold path, focusing on mindfulness, concentration, and insight. Right view, thinking, speech, action, livelihood, and diligence are integral, reflecting mindfulness. Mindfulness can transform harmful actions and cultivate happiness by nurturing wholesome qualities. The alaya consciousness stores seeds of learning, shaping existence through thoughts, words, and deeds. Practicing mindfulness involves cultivating compassion and joy while avoiding negativity. Nirvana and happiness are found in each mindful step, transcending duality. Consciousness manifests interconnectedness, highlighting the unity beyond distinctions like birth and death. Mindfulness reveals the essence of Nirvana within us, aligning with timeless wisdom and interconnected existence.
