This talk details pebble meditation, a practice to cultivate freshness, solidity, and joy, embraced by children globally. Children gather four pebbles representing a flower, mountain, calm water, and space, practicing mindful breathing and observing each pebble to cultivate presence and peace. The flower symbolizes freshness, the mountain stability, calm water clarity, and space freedom. Mindfulness helps transform suffering into nourishment for happiness, akin to gardening. Mindful consumption involves choosing nourishing foods and sensory inputs, avoiding toxins like anger and craving. Understanding suffering’s roots through mindful consumption fosters healing, compassion, and happiness.
