In addition to learning how to make yourself happier, you'll understand the necessity of being happy in order to serve others.

Contents and Overview

This course begins with Thích Nhất Hạnh explaining how to breathe to the sound of the bell so you can come back to center and bring calmness into the mind and body.

As you breathe in and out to the sound of the bell, you can begin practicing mindfulness from the start of the course.

You'll then learn about the importance of listening with every cell of your body by breathing with the sound. As you do, you’ll bring unity into your body and mind to become fully present.

If you're dealing with difficulties, you'll understand how practicing mindfulness can bring you joy in the present, and how to embrace your suffering while moving through it.

Next, you'll learn a method for transforming suffering into healing and compassion before diving into how to acknowledge your connection to the Kingdom of God through Mother Nature.

Another aspect of mindfulness is being able to learn from the past and prepare for the future. You'll learn how being in the present can help you transform the past and remove anxiety about what’s to come.

You'll even comprehend the law of interbeing, understanding how the entire universe is reliant upon positive and negative aspects of life being connected to each other.

Thích Nhất Hạnh will then discuss mindful consumption, as taught by the Buddha. You'll know how to avoid sickness and unhappiness by only consuming things that provide you, and those you love, with health.

By the time you complete this course, you'll be aware of how to use mindfulness in your everyday life to bring more joy and compassion to yourself and everyone around you.

You'll be able to meditate, reflect, transform, and make decisions in your work and relationships that will positively impact life all over the world.
