This Summer, Asian Institute of Applied Buddhism / Plum Village Hong Kong is very happy to participate in the Lotus Festival organized by Po Lin Monastery to introduce the practices of Sitting Meditation and Walking Meditation.
Walking Meditation and Sitting Meditation are important practices in Plum Village. Mindfulness is a kind of energy that we generate when we bring our mind back to our body and get in touch with what is going on in the present moment, within us and around us. We become aware of our breathing and come home to our body, fully present for ourselves and whatever we are doing.
In the Plum Village Tradition, we sit just to enjoy sitting. There is nowhere to go and nothing to do. We can just enjoy sitting there, following our breathing, enjoying being alive. When we practice walking meditation, we focus our steps touching on the earth. This will unify our body and mind, walking in freedom and solidity, arriving in the present moment in every step.
Our daily life is busy, please give ourself a space to rest. In this Lotus Festival, at the foot of the Big Buddha in Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, accompanied by the noble and elegant lotues, Plum Village monastic will guide friends to practice Sitting Meditation and Walking Meditation, to be in touch with inner peace and joy together.
