This is one of two versions of the meditation- this one is with the sound of the bell. For "Hope Meditation (without bells)", please click here.
This meditation allows us to reflect on hope, embracing the opportunities it brings for happiness. As Thay teaches: when cultivated in our practice, hope can make a difficult situation bearable. Within this hope, we may foster an energy of faith in our awareness; our true Buddha nature guiding us through difficult situations we experience.
