Peace in Oneself, Peace for Others
The details of this discussion focus on the importance of signing a peace treaty with oneself by practicing the five mindfulness trainings, which are not commandments but teachings derived from generations of observing suffering. The daily practice of mindfulness, such as conscious breathing and walking meditation, helps to transform suffering and maintain inner peace. It is essential to openly communicate one’s emotions, including anger, by practicing mindfulness to avoid exacerbating conflicts. Creating a space of peace at home, practicing with family, and helping young people manage their emotions are recommended practices. Peace begins with conscious breathing and daily mindfulness, even practicing laziness as a virtue to fully appreciate the present moment.
