This talk details the importance of mindful breathing and walking to reconnect mind and body, focusing solely on the breath to foster full presence and appreciate life’s wonders. The Buddha teaches that life exists only in the present moment, embracing joys like the sky, mountains, and loved ones. Practice mindful breathing and walking to nourish, heal, and transform oneself, releasing tension and embracing emotions gently. Mindfulness helps manage anger and fear, fostering harmony in relationships through compassionate listening and gentle speech. Mindfulness practice should be taught in schools to prevent addiction, with educators embodying mindfulness to guide students. Practicing mindfulness connects us to the Buddha, inviting the Pure Land into the present moment.
