Mindful, Caring Consumption | Sister Tu Nghiem | 2022 11 20 Rains’ Retreat 9

Are you aware of your body in daily life? Do you take time to pause and relax between activities? How do you start your day? Do you take a moment to touch a feeling of gratitude and joy for being alive? Let’s explore these and many more questions as we are gently guided by one of the eldest disciples of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh - Sr. Tu Nghiem (Sr. Elleni). As a practitioner, we need to know how to nourish our body and mind with beauty through what we consume with our senses. We need to be aware of our body and mind, in order to recognize what causes us well-being and ill-being, so we can choose the direction in which we want to go. The Four Noble Truths and the Five Mindfulness Trainings will help us to live in a healthy, ethical and balanced way. They show us very concrete ways to help reduce the suffering around us. 00:00:00 Guided Sitting Meditation 00:12:20 Chanting 00:21:03 Dharma Talk begins Please participate in supporting Thich Nhat Hanh’s community and legacy at: https://plumvillage.org/support Please help us offer videos in other languages by creating subtitles for our videos, please create an account at Amara.com: https://amara.org/en/ Send a message to our Amara account: https://amara.org/en/profiles/profile...
