Dear Still Water Friends,| Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center
My ongoing practice with patience continues to change its form based on what I need, modeling the very suppleness I aspire to cultivate. At the moment, Thích Nhất Hạnh’s (Thầy’s) commentary on the Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing is my companion. In the sutra, the Buddha teaches sixteen breathing exercises that form the foundation of mindfulness. The tenth is offered to help us gladden the mind: “Breathing in, I make my mind happy. Breathing out, I make my mind happy.”| Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center
