The details of this discussion include deep listening to the bell to achieve peace and joy, harmonizing body, speech, and mind to invite the bell to sound, mindfulness to fully live the present moment, and conscious breathing to transcend anxiety and suffering. It is essential to practice the five mindfulness trainings reflecting the teachings of the Buddha: 1. Protection of life, 2. True happiness, 3. True love, 4. Harmony through loving speech and deep listening, 5. Healing and transformation. Cultivating inner peace requires true understanding and love, avoiding the incessant quest for material happiness, practicing Yoniso Manaskara to connect with positive energies, and understanding and transforming personal suffering to help others. Each action should bring happiness and relaxation, fully live in the present moment, and translate these teachings to share a universal spiritual vision.
