Appointment with Life | Dharma Talk by Thich Nhat Hanh, 2014.07.06

This is the first Dharma talk by Thay for the Summer Opening 2014 in Lower Hamlet. Mindfulness is a kind of energy that everyone of us can generate. Mindfulness allows us to be aware of what is going on in our body, feelings, perceptions, in our mind, around us and in the world. You can define mindfulness as the kind of energy that allows us to aware of what is happening in the here and now. If you are not in the here and now, you cannot know what is happening in the here and now. Life and all the wonders of life are available only in the here and now. Mindfulness helps us go home to the here and now and get in touch with life. We have an appointment with life. That appointment takes place in the present moment. If you miss the present moment, you miss your appointment with life. Help us caption & translate this video! amara.org/v/EsFC/
