The 4 Elements of Happiness
This talk details the upcoming winter retreat at Plum Village, focusing on cultivating peace, clarity, compassion, and brotherhood through mindful practices like breathing, sitting, and walking. Mindful breathing involves recognizing bodily presence, releasing tension, and fostering peace. Sitting meditation begins with calming breath and body. Mindfulness brings clarity, helping avoid suffering and fostering compassion. True happiness stems from inner peace and supportive community bonds. Retreats facilitate transformation and healing, showing swift positive change. Walking meditation honors Earth as a nurturing bodhisattva, recognizing unity beyond dualistic views. The upcoming retreat will explore texts like Paramatthagata, translated by Thay. Preparation for the retreat is underway, fostering mindfulness and interconnectedness.
