The Third Mindfulness Training | Thich Nhat Hanh

  • Not Synced
    The third mindfulness training
    is about love.
  • Not Synced
    True love.
  • Not Synced
    Cultivating true love.
  • Not Synced
    Aware of the suffering
    caused by sexual misconduct,
  • Not Synced
    I am committed to
    cultivating responsibility
  • Not Synced
    and learning ways
    to protect the safety
  • Not Synced
    and integrity of individuals, couples,
    families, and society.
  • Not Synced
    Knowing that sexual desire is not love,
  • Not Synced
    and that sexual activity
    motivated by craving
  • Not Synced
    always harms myself as well as others,
  • Not Synced
    I am determined not
    to engage in sexual relations
  • Not Synced
    without true love, and
    a deep, long-term commitment
  • Not Synced
    established in the presence
    of the family and friends.
  • Not Synced
    I will do everything in my power
    to protect children from sexual abuse
  • Not Synced
    and to prevent couples and families
    from being broken by sexual misconduct.
  • Not Synced
    Seeing that body and mind are one,
  • Not Synced
    I am committed to
    learning appropriate ways
  • Not Synced
    to take care of my sexual energy
    and to cultivate kindness, compassion,
  • Not Synced
    joy, patience, inclusiveness,
    and all elements of true love
  • Not Synced
    – for my greater happiness and
    the greater happiness of others.
  • Not Synced
    Practicing true love, we will continue
    beautifully into the future.
  • Not Synced
    We learn one thing
    from the third mindfulness training.
  • Not Synced
    Sexual desire...
  • Not Synced
    and love,
  • Not Synced
    they are two different things.
  • Not Synced
    Because love can only
    build, heal, re-build, heal.
  • Not Synced
    So, for the third mindfulness training
  • Not Synced
    about true love,
  • Not Synced
    we have to learn how to generate
  • Not Synced
    loving-kindness,
  • Not Synced
    compassion,
  • Not Synced
    joy,
  • Not Synced
    and inclusiveness.
  • Not Synced
    This is an art of loving.
  • Not Synced
    And we have to learn
    how to love ourselves.
  • Not Synced
    We have to learn how
    to take care of our body,
  • Not Synced
    to release the tension in our body,
  • Not Synced
    to reduce the pain in our body.
  • Not Synced
    And there are very concrete ways to do it.
  • Not Synced
    You know how to practice
    touching the earth
  • Not Synced
    by walking meditation,
  • Not Synced
    by lying down,
  • Not Synced
    allowing nature to heal you.
  • Not Synced
    You know how to release
    the tension in your body,
  • Not Synced
    to reduce the pain in your body,
  • Not Synced
    not to work your body too hard,...
  • Not Synced
    All these things, we can do.
  • Not Synced
    But if you are...
  • Not Synced
    so busy making money
  • Not Synced
    in order to buy things,
  • Not Synced
    do you have time to do so?
  • Not Synced
    And there are those of us who know
    how to organize our life in such a way
  • Not Synced
    that we have enough time to...
  • Not Synced
    to love.
