This talk details walking meditation in Plum Village as a valuable practice for releasing tension and living deeply, connecting with reality, and finding joy and happiness. Walking slowly and mindfully, repeating the mantra “I have arrived, I am home,” helps embrace the present moment, breaking habits of rushing and seeking happiness elsewhere. Buddhist teachings urge living fully in the present, emphasizing stopping and concentrating to calm and focus. Practicing mindfulness leads to inner freedom, happiness, and touching Nirvana, akin to waves recognizing they are water. Mindfulness empowers actions, turning daily tasks into sacred practices, manifesting the Pure Land here and now. Practicing mindfulness heals ourselves and the Earth, embodying interconnectedness and inner peace, leading to genuine happiness and Nirvana.
