breathing

exercise that the Buddha gives us when we practice like this something wonderful happens since we pay attention only to our inhalation and exhalation and We identify them as inhalation and exhalation, we stop thinking and this is already a miracle because in our daily life we ​​think too much and because we think too much we are not really ourselves.

How the body can be here but our mind can be in another part of the past in the future in China and therefore when you inhale and exhale and become aware of your inhalation. -breathe and exhale, you stop thinking and start to be where your body is your body and our mind very often separated from each other and in the middle we have our breath and the moment when we hold while we breathe and inhale and exhale. written consciously calm my body exhaling I smile our body and our mind will become one and if we practice inhaling and exhaling with a certain concentration we will achieve what we call the unity of body and mind the unity of body and mind your mind and your body are unified and you begin to be there truly yourself and this is the first fruit of your practice and it needs you to breathe in and out consciously being aware of your inhalation and exhalation when you are not there when you are not really there you cannot see things very clearly and deeply strange everything seems unclear to you and therefore to be available through our loved ones they must be there and we are there inhaling and exhaling enough he breathing Go out and practice like this once twice and begin to be alive to be present and that is the practice of

mindful

ness.

Mindfulness means being aware of what is happening. Your child comes and wants some attention. honey you know that for you to smile at her you can open your arms and hug her and the basic condition is that you are so inhaling and exhaling is to really be there and be available I will put whoever is available for your loved one and also be prepared to find life because life can only be found in the present moment, let's think a little about the blue sky, the beautiful blue sky, when can you get in touch with the blue sky in the present moment in order not to miss the blue sky you have to return to the present moment because it is in that moment you can get in touch with the blue sky the beautiful rivers the beautiful trees your mommy your daddy everyone is in the present moment and if you return to the present moment you find them all wonderful all refreshing you want to be in touch they are in the present moment therefore they run towards the future they get lost in the past you miss life and therefore inhaling and exhaling is returning to the present moment when you have a date with life that is why in our life it is so important it makes life possible for you what you seek as happiness peace joy everyone is in the present moment the Pure Land of the Buddhists must be found in the present moment the kingdom of heaven of the Catholics of the Protestants must also be found in the present moment look at the tree it is a wonderful thing a tree a tree is very beautiful a tree for me is as beautiful as a cathedral even more beautiful and there are times when I stand before a tree with the deepest respect I look inside the tree and I saw the entire cosmos in it I saw the sunlight in the tree can you see the sunlight on the tree?

Yes, because without sunlight no tree can grow I see a cloud in the tree you can see without a cloud there can be no rain no tree I see the earth in the tree I see everything in the tree so the tree is where everything in the cosmos enter and the cosmos reveals itself is there to meet a tree there because a tree for me is a cathedral and I can take refuge in the tree and I can nourish myself from the tree the tree belongs to the kingdom of God that tree belongs to the Pure Land and I can put in contact only with the tree if I return to the present moment because the tree can only be found in the present moment and that is why entering and exiting is so important suppose I practiced like this I am entering I am aware of my eyes written I smile at my eyes this is to return to the present moment to discover things that you tend to forget like your eyes my eyes make me happy my eyes are conditions for my happiness I know that without my eyes I cannot be happy I just need I open my eyes to see the beautiful blue sky, the beautiful earth, the shooting that brought down all kinds of shapes, all kinds of colors because I have such British eyes to return to the present moment and be in contact with my eyes.

It's a basic practice for happiness and Britain how I smile into my eyes I hit my eyes because I'm happy to have eyes I just need to open my eyes another tool to see the beautiful trees and so on, let's split in and out of a few times and become aware that we have eyes, you would like to touch your eyes if you wish, breathing so that my eyes belong to the kingdom of God to the Pure Land, my eyes condition my happiness, I return to the present moment in To get in touch with my eyes so I can be happy, The trees belong to the kingdom of God, to the Pure Land and there are millions of millions of things like that in and around me that are wonderful that I can get in touch with.

Only if I go back to the present moment, do you know something that people who believe that they can enter the kingdom of God or the Pure Land after dying, I don't agree with them, I know that it is not necessary to die to do so. to go to the kingdom of God, in fact, you have to be alive to do it, you must be alive and you must inhale and exhale once and with one foot you take a step and enter the kingdom of God right now and this is possible with the first exercise inhale and exhale because my eyes belong to the kingdom of God the trees belong to the kingdom of God and many other things like that and therefore if I move away when I inhale and exhale I only need to take one step to enter the kingdom of heaven and with a little with practice you develop your concentration and then every time you want to enter the kingdom of heaven you can do it you are welcome the door is wide open but if you live in oblivion I cannot do that because forgetfulness is the opposite of

mindful

ness.

To live in oblivion means to be lost in the past, in the future to be possessed by anger, hatred, fear, and therefore you are not ready to enter the kingdom of God to get rid of it. forgetting you practice Britain inside and outside and mindfulness becomes the result of your practice and with mindfulness you get in touch with everything that is wonderful, refreshing, healing in the present moment, so let's invite a sound of the Bell and let's breathe together three times so we can enjoy enjoy the kingdom in which we find ourselves at this very moment
