This talk details the profound essence of the mind, emphasizing emptiness and nirvana, and highlights the mantra of Vraja Paramita. Greetings from the Chinese Buddhist Academy express gratitude for Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings on mindfulness and integrating Buddhist practice into daily life. The essence of Buddhist practice is happiness, attainable through reducing suffering within ourselves. True happiness involves inner freedom from negative emotions like anger and jealousy. Buddhist teachings guide us to overcome craving, anger, and confusion, with happiness rooted in simplicity and inner freedom. Compassionate listening and loving speech are crucial for alleviating suffering and fostering connection. Through mindfulness retreats and practicing compassionate listening, profound transformation and reconciliation in relationships can be achieved. Buddhism’s teachings must adapt to modern suffering, presenting accessible teachings to revive Buddhism’s essence and spread happiness widely. Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings embody compassion and non-duality, with gratitude expressed for his guidance.
