The details of this discussion focus on the celebration of the third day of Pankhufun priest in the Assembly of Stars meditation hall, inviting the cells of the body and the ancestors to join in deep listening to manifest peace and healing. Mindfulness and concentration are essential for practicing meditation, allowing one to transcend suffering and nourish happiness and love. Recognizing and embracing suffering helps to understand its causes and to move towards healing. The five mindfulness trainings are tools to cultivate true love towards oneself, others, and the planet. Eating mindfully, reducing meat consumption, practicing gratitude towards food, and choosing positive programs are essential practices. Meditation helps to manage suffering and maintain harmonious relationships, sharing about the dharma rather than watching television.
