As the morning begins at Longmen Guanghua Temple, participants are invited to experience a gentle meditation practice centered on sound, movement, and mindful awareness.
The session begins with a moment of stillness, listening quietly to the surrounding sounds of the temple. Participants then enter a period of slow walking meditation, bringing awareness to each step, each breath, and the changing sensations of the body.
Rather than trying to empty the mind, this practice encourages participants to simply notice what is present—the sound of the temple bell, the movement of the air, the rhythm of walking, and the quiet atmosphere of the temple.
