ศิลปะการใช้ชีวิตอย่างมีสติ : วิถีแห่งติช นัท ฮันห์

Abstract

This academic article aims to analyze the art of mindful living as taught by Thich Nhat Hanh. The study found that his practice of mindfulness extends beyond seated meditation to encompass all daily activities, such as walking, eating, washing dishes, or even breathing. By integrating Buddhist principles with the lives of ordinary people, he makes mindfulness an accessible and integral part of daily life, not a distant concept.The practice of mindfulness is connected to key Buddhist principles, including mindful breathing. He taught us to be aware of our incoming and outgoing breath, bringing our wandering thoughts back to our bodies. He helps us understand that change is not a "loss," but a continuous movement and circulation of the universe and nature, which proceeds ceaselessly in its own course. Mindfulness is not just about staying with happiness, but about learning to live with suffering. This enables us to manage emotions mindfully and ultimately leads to inner peace. True freedom comes not from clinging to our own thoughts but from opening our hearts and listening to and learning from others. Releasing rigid beliefs allows us to grow and embrace new experiences, which helps us understand the world and life more deeply, in accordance with the Buddha's teachings.
