When we shout at the oak tree, the oak tree is not offended. When we praise the oak tree, it doesn't raise its nose. We can learn the Dharma from the oak tree; therefore, the oak tree is part of our Dharmakaya. We can learn from everything that is around, that is in us.
Nhat HanhMindfulness is like thatโit is the miracle which can call back in a flash our dispersed mind and restore it to wholeness so that we can live each minute of life.
