We all know, living on this earth. Living together with our family, and the society. Sometimes it is very happy. Sometimes it is not at all. It is just because we cannot settle down the differences between each other. It’s a new year. We return back to our Buddha nature, and we ask for help from the Buddha and bodhisattvas to wake us up now to know the truth of what we have done that cause each other suffering. Most important is to learn how to listen to each other sincerely. If we are very eager to just talk about what is full in our chest, we slowly distance ourselves from each other. Not just between one and another, but also between us and Buddha. Between the living thing we are so busy, and the Buddha nature. Meditation is the art of living spiritually. Through the mindfulness breathing technique and the mantra you will know yourself much better every year, and every moment of your life. Through the past years, so many struggles, so many loved ones never see them again. Still the covid is covering the entire world, spreading fear, yes. We learn to live with the covid for two years already and still move towards those kind of fears. But we shouldn’t be afraid. In this new year, we ask all of you if you are around Frederick you can come to our meditation hall to meet me directly, or Su Co Bao Co, or you can text us, or talk on the phone.
If you are very far away, YouTube is a very good channel to meet each other. We are here every Saturday from 7:00 am to 7:30 Am. To practice, to activate the compassion and wisdom, And share s a little to guide us through the week. But most important we practice. Because practice is very important. When we practice together every one of us fills with the energy flow. And fill will the connection between all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The energy we receive helps us to purify and transform our negative energy. Today is the first day of the new year. We want to have a very good energy to start the new year with the good hope, through the practice so we can make all our hopes to become truths. Let’s practice together.
The very first mantra we practice Mu A Mu Sa to activate and connect with all the Buddhas to receive the compassion energy. It is really important. If you connect with the compassion energy, you know how to step back for others to cherish their life. The second mantra, Na Mo Ta Mo Ta Mo Da Ra Houng. It is the wisdom mantra, helping us to know that everything is impermanent. When we hold onto the impermanent, it creates suffering. Hold on to the I, we create more attachment, more ego, more ignorance. Buddha is teaching us to meditate all of those to release and transform. Especially in the new year we refresh our energy by connecting with the Buddha. What we say today is to just breathe and let it grow. Return back to the very basic breathing techniques in and out. Listen to your breathing techniques, listen to it, breath in and out. Especially, you do not just practice for yourself, but also offer you energy to all of your loved ones. Whoever you are thinking of through out all of your time of practice they all receive a very good energy. The best gift for the new year, our Sangha offered to all by chanting the seven special mantras and offer the energy to all of you. We always thinking about all of you through the practice. We always connect to all of you through the practice and through all the Buddhas. Let all the suffering from the past go away and be with the good future by practicing.
Breath, just breathe, your breath is important. Breathing and letting it grow is really important. Once again we are going to chant the seven mantras. We all connect together an allow ourselves to be transformed and let go of everything from the last moment or the last year. Let’s breathe and let it grow.
We breathe in, expanding our belly, hold it there for three seconds, we breathe out, sunken our belly, we are chanting the seven mantras. All of them together one after another. Just follow along with us.
