How to Invite the Bell

Thich Nhat Hanh teaches the listener the way to invite the meditation bell in the Plum Village tradition. We learn a short verse, or gatha, to go along with the practice. From the 2009-06-03 talk at Plum Village.

Waking ⬆️ up to the wisdom of a Zen 🧘 Master ….Priceless. We must learn to share our space with others… Including their sounds and not be disturbed for as soon as we master this practice… It is our turn to teach.

All Reverence for the Venerable Thích Nhât Hanh, Ultimate Bell Master.

Thank you for summoning the Buddha within us all.

So lovely to hear his voice. Clear and instructive but lots of humour.

Master Han is one of the best there is we are very fortunate to have had somebody to have reached quite probably full enlightenment that we can study from and learn from in this modern era.

So beautifully delivered with calm, joy, humor, and I am feeling so renewed and ready for the day.

So calming and respectful.

🙏🏻

Beautiful and fascinating, though more of a talk than a meditation.

Breathing in I am aware of my body, breathing out I am aware of my heart. My heart is full listening to your teachings Thay. Thank you 🙏🏻🥰✨

I love this so much. The sound of his voice makes me happy.

Just beautiful. It made me
stop and slow down.

I enjoyed the description of the bell masters compassion, wishing for all hearers to have enough space to enjoy enough time to breath 3 times no matter the various lengths of time that takes.

A lovely ceremony that led me into a long beautiful meditation.

This was a wonderful explanation on how to meditate with the bell. It probably needs to be in the talks section where one can get the education on how to do this practice.
