Seven Steps of the Newly Born Buddha Within You
This title has been reviewed for accuracy.
Thay reflects on his upcoming return to Vietnam after thirty-eight years of exile. He then shares the story of the baby Buddha, who, upon his birth, took seven mindful steps. Thay emphasizes that, although the Buddha lived over 2,600 years ago, he continues to live within each of us. Through the practice of mindfulness, we become the Buddha’s continuation, carrying his teachings and presence wherever we go.
This is the first talk in a series of fourteen given during The Feet of the Buddha, twenty-one-day retreat in the year 2004. Thay offered this talk at the New Hamlet, Plum Village, France.
