As evening settles over Longmen Guanghua Temple, participants are invited to enter a quiet space of meditation illuminated by the gentle glow of candlelight.
The Candlelight Meditation begins with several minutes of silent sitting, allowing the body to relax and the breath to settle naturally. Participants then gently focus their attention on the candle flame, observing its movement while maintaining awareness of their breathing.
The practice is not about concentrating forcefully. Instead, the steady presence of the flame provides a simple point of awareness, helping participants notice wandering thoughts and gently return to the present moment.
After the candle meditation, participants spend a few minutes in silent reflection, allowing the experience to settle naturally.
