“Body, speech, and mind in perfect Oneness
I send my heart along with the sound of this bell.
May the Heavens awaken from their forgetfulness
And transcend the path of all anxieties and sorrows”
(First line breathe in; next line breathe out; repeat)

Practicing Deep Listening

“Listening to the bell I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve. My mind is calm and my body is relaxed. A smile is born on my lips. Following the sound of the bell I go back to the island of Mindfulness and in the garden of my heart the flowers of peace bloom beautifully.”
