"Happy Walk" Walking Meditation
You are invited to join the daily "Happy Walk" walking meditation conducted by the Plum Village Mindfulness Practice Center in Tsim Sha Tsui at 18:00 Monday to Friday.
About Walking Meditation
Wherever we walk, we can practice meditation. This means that we know that we are walking. We walk just for walking. We walk with freedom and solidity, no longer in a hurry. We are present with each step. And when we wish to talk we stop our movement and give our full attention to the other person, to our words and to listening.
Walking in this way should not be a privilege. We should be able to do it in every moment. Look around and see how vast life is, the trees, the white clouds, the limitless sky. Listen to the birds. Feel the fresh breeze. Life is all around and we are alive and healthy and capable of walking in peace.
Let us walk as a free person and feel our steps get lighter. Let us enjoy every step we make. Each step is nourishing and healing. As we walk, imprint our gratitude and our love on the earth.
We may like to use a gatha as we walk. Taking two or three steps for each in-breath and each out-breath,
Breathing in "I have arrived"; Breathing out "I am home"
Breathing in "In the here"; Breathing out "In the now"
Breathing in "I am solid"; Breathing out "I am free"
Breathing in "In the ultimate"; Breathing out "I dwell"Where to meet for the walk
The walk will start at Tsim Sha Tsui East Waterfront Podium garden. From the Tsim Sha Tsui East Bus Terminus (next to Wing On Plaza), you can take the escalator up to the garden. We will meet at the section (with the roof structure) on the left. The walking path consists of the Podium Garden, theTsim Tsha Tsui Promemnade and the Avenue of the Stars. The walk may take about an hour. If you do not have time for the whole walk, you can participate in part of the walk. We will return to the gathering place at about 19:00.
At that time, you can return to your daily routine. If you can, please join us for a "Joyful Sitting" sitting meditation at the center at 19:30.
