To Pray is to Touch the Good Seeds in Us
The details of this discussion highlight the essential interconnection of all things, using simple elements like a sheet of paper to illustrate the depth and beauty of poetic truth. Everything is linked in interbeing, showing that nothing can exist alone and that the happiness of others affects our own. By being fully present, we can shape a solid future and transform past sufferings. Mindfulness is key, practiced by meditating, walking, eating, and speaking with love. Each moment lived becomes a prayer nourishing our being. Deep peace and the absence of desire are accessible through meditation, inviting our spiritual ancestors to share these moments of peace. Prayer, tangible and real, must reflect our authentic needs for peace, health, and reconciliation, nourishing brotherhood and compassion.
