Thay Warsaw Wykład Otwarty (Public Lecture)

Thich Nhat Hanh · September 1, 1992 · Warsaw, Poland · Audio Only

This talk was part of the 1992 to tour in eastern Europe and Russia.

Thây and a few Poles walking around Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 during the Second World War:

Eyes in good condition and a heart that functions normally are fundamental elements of peace and happiness. By touching the heart with mindfulness and gratitude, one recognizes its tireless work and resolves to protect it through proper nutrition, rest, and emotional care. This practice of loving kindness toward oneself is the foundation for loving others, as love is born from understanding the suffering, difficulties, and aspirations of another.

Within our consciousness are bija, or seeds of happiness and unhappiness, transmitted by ancestors and parents. To live mindfully is to touch these seeds of happiness and remain truly present. Life can only be met in the present moment; by not clinging to the past or getting lost in the future, one finds peace and joy. The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present, as the future is made of the present.

Mindfulness is a substance containing light, understanding, and love, and is the essential element that makes a Buddha. It can be practiced through:

Hugging meditation, which makes both people real and present.
The bell of mindfulness, stopping all thinking and talking to return to the breath.
Telephone meditation, breathing mindfully three times when the phone rings.
Walking meditation, touching the earth with peace and joy without rushing.
Embracing pain, where mindfulness acts like a mother holding a crying baby or sunshine opening a tulip, transforming suffering through tender recognition.
