Right Thought
MindfulBreath Sangha Gathering
(Dharma Lesson: Right Thought)
Invitation of the Bell X 3
Invite the sangha to arrive fully.
Javad: “Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.”
1-2 minutes of mindful breathing, with awareness of the body seated, with feet on the floor, spine upright but relaxed
All recite Thay’s mantra on peace: There is no path to peace; peace is the path.
Right Thought is not something we force or control. It is something we recognize, nourish, and protect.” Right Thought (sammā saṅkappa) is often translated as Right Intention or Right Resolve. Thích Nhất Hạnh reminds us that thought here does not mean random thinking. It means the direction of the heart.
