What Is the Thing You Long for the Most
Reflecting on longing for the monastery and temple in Hue, memories bring joy despite being in the West since 1966. Dreams of the temple ceased after a year, embracing mindfulness to find solace. Despite unfamiliarity and chaos during a North American speaking tour, solace was found in brief moments of rest. Mindfulness reveals life’s treasures, emphasizing the importance of being present. Cherish life’s precious moments, acknowledging interconnectedness. Sudden enlightenment is possible through mindfulness, appreciating the present deeply. Bodhicitta embodies love-driven enlightenment, fostering compassion. Reflect on cherished joys and desires, practicing mindfulness to uncover life’s treasures.
