Plum Village 30 years (4)- Flowers


I was very enjoying the flower decoration in the Plum village in formal way or leisure way. 
It was Thay's teaching to help me connect the nature, watering my flower inside, deepening the understanding about flower essence. Gradually I realize nature is the best Dharma tool to me.  It is my honor to practice with flowers, trees and the mother earth. There are so many his teaching connecting with flower. I would like to collect some and share with you.






Kiss The Earth
Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safewhen we feel safe in ourselves.

Mindful walking along lotus pond in the Lower hamlet with Thay



The mind can go in a thousand directions.

But on this lovely path, I walk in peace.

With each step, a gentle wind blows,

With each step, a flower blooms.





Sun flower filed  in Lower Hamlet 






After walking in the country road,
I made a wild flower bouquet offering to Buddha.
