Happy Life | Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh | #mindfulness

Not SyncedMany of us have spent our life searching
for material
comforts and uh affective
comforts. And many of us uh do have a
lot of
uh comforts but we are not
happy. We have enough uh we may have
enough money. You may have enough
material or
comforts and we may have someone who
love
us who understand
us and yet we are not
happy because we don't have
muchness. than those of us who do not
have uh a lot of
money. But because uh
we practice
mindfulness, that is why we treasure our
time. You know, time is very
precious. When you wake up in the
morning, the first thing you do is
to
breathe and to be aware that you have uh
24 hours to
live. Waking up this morning, I
smile. I have 24 hours to live.
You want to leave the 24 hours that are
given to you in such a way that peace,
joy, happiness can be possible. You are
not going to
waste your 24
hours because the 24 hours are a gift of
life.
So the practice of mindfulness is to be
aware of everything you do in your daily
life so that you can do it mindfully and
you can enjoy every moment of your daily
life. That is uh the practice of
mindfulness to live more
deeply every moment so that you will not
waste your time and waste your
life. Maybe you have wasted many days in
anger and fear jealousy.
You have not made the
best of the time given us to
live. Is it possible to live in such a
way that you have more
peace, more joy, more
happiness that help us to help other
people to suffer
less? And the answer is yes. If uh you
take up mindfulness and
practice and then you enjoy more the
time
given to you to
live and with more joy and peace and
happiness you can certainly help other
people to suffer less and have more joy.
Time is no longer
money. Time is
peace. Time is
life. There are people who are victims
of their success. Even if they they have
success, they can be victim of their
success. But no one is victim of his or
her happiness.
