Feedback

This talk details the ample conditions for happiness in the present moment and the practice of mindfulness to cultivate gratitude and happiness effortlessly. Recognizing functioning organs like the heart and eyes as basic conditions for happiness, mindfulness involves savoring each moment deeply. Understanding suffering and its roots is crucial for healing and transformation, emphasizing realism in Buddha’s teachings. Through meditation, mindfulness, and compassion, suffering can be understood and alleviated. The Kingdom of God and Pure Land are accessible in the present moment through mindful breathing and walking. Young practitioners are encouraged to form Sanghas and embody mindfulness trainings for societal harmony. The Young Buddhists for a Healthy and Compassionate Society (YBHCS) aims to foster compassion and transformation globally, promoting collective mindfulness practices and societal initiatives. Joining collective activities and translating teachings into multiple languages are encouraged to support the movement.
