The bell of Mindfulness

This unusual picture is my tribute to Thich Nhat Hanh who passed away peacefully on 22nd January 2022.

 

Ringing the mindfulness bell is a simple way to become aware of the present moment.

During the retreats at the monastery in which I participated, a giant bell was struck randomly by a monk.

When the bell rings, each retreatant and monk stops doing what he is doing (even if you are at the toilet) and he is invited to become aware of what he is doing.

It's a simple way to reconnect with yourself and your inner peace..

 

Thanks Thay.
