Happy Life | Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh | #mindfulness

  • Not Synced
    Many 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.
