Meditation Cosmique (in French)

par Thich Nhat HanhJune 10, 2019

Breathing in, I see the element air in me, I also see the element water in me And the element Earth in me. I see clouds, snow, rains, and rivers in me. I see the atmosphere, I see the winds, and forests in me, I see the mountains and oceans in me. I see Mother Earth in me. Breathing out, I smile to Mother Earth in me. I am one with Mother Earth, the most beautiful planet in this whole galaxy.

Mother Earth in me. I smile to the most beautiful planet in the galaxy.

Breathing in, I see the element of light in me, I am made of light; of the sun. I see our star as an infinite source of nourishment, and I consume the sun in every moment.
Just as Buddha Shakyamuni, I too am a child of Father Sun I am Buddha Amitabha, the Buddha of infinite light. I am the Buddha Amitayus, the Buddha of infinite longevity. Breathing out, I smile to the sun in me. I am the sun, I am a star, one of the largest stars in this galaxy.

I am a child of the sun. I am a star.

Breathing in, I see all my ancestors in me: my mineral ancestors, plant ancestors, mammal ancestors, and human ancestors. My ancestors are always alive in every cell of my body, and I play a part in their immortality. Breathing out, I smile to the cloud in my tea. A cloud never dies. A cloud can become snow or rain but never nothing. I also play my part in the immortality of the cloud.

I am my ancestors. I play my part in the immortality of my ancestors, both genetic and spiritual.

Breathing in, I see the stars and galaxies in me. I am consciousness manifesting as cosmos. I am made of stars and galaxies. Breathing out, I smile to the stars in me. I play my part in the immortality of the clouds, the rains, the stars, and the cosmos.

I am the stars I smile to the immortality of the stars.

Breathing in, I see that nothing is created, nothing is lost; everything transforms. I see the nature of no birth and no death of matter and energy. I see that birth, death, being, and nonbeing are only ideas. Breathing out, I smile to my true nature of no birth and no death. I am free from being and from nonbeing. There is no death; there is no fear. I touch nirvana, my true nature of no birth and no death.

Nothing is created. Nothing is lost. I am free from being,
