Water Buffalo Boy Story (Story of Cuoi)
Repetition helps us learn; embrace the present moment. Sing in French and Vietnamese, practicing mindfulness together. Imagine a boy tending a water buffalo in Asia, where buffaloes assist farming. Siddhartha befriends Svasti, a buffalo boy, inspiring teachings on mindfulness and compassion. Kui discovers a healing plant after a tiger attack, leading to wealth but strained marriage. Vietnamese folklore tells of Khoi and a powerful tree. Mindfulness transforms ingrained habits, guiding us gently like a buffalo boy. Practice mindful breathing and walking, cultivating joy and harmony. Recognize interconnectedness, embrace silence, and nurture collective well-being in Plum Village. Tomorrow, honor Hiroshima bombing victims.
