The Art of Tending the Inner Garden
“Mindfulness” is living with awareness in each moment, helping to deeply understand each present experience. When drinking water or eating rice, focus on that action instead of thinking about the past. Practicing mindfulness helps reduce suffering, increases the ability to listen and understand others, creates a loving environment, and reduces anger. Thich Nhat Hanh emphasizes that practicing together increases the energy of mindfulness. He mentions the Five Precepts in Buddhism and the method of walking meditation to keep the mind steady. He shares stories about love in the family and married life, emphasizing the importance of conveying genuine feelings and sweet words. He also talks about connecting with ancestors and maintaining spiritual traditions to make life strong and happy.
