“Mindfulness: The 5 Practices to Nurturing Happiness, Part 3 of 3” from Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Zen Buddhist, the Father of Mindfulness

What is our challenge as we practice mindfulness? We must first remember to come home to ourselves, to our breath that anchors us to this present moment. Then, we can begin to make peace with our inner suffering. The Art of Suffering is the Art of Happiness, knowing that with each breath, we ease suffering and generate Joy. With each step our flower of insight blooms. “No mud, No lotus”.
