Thich Nhat Hanh on Temple Bells
"In my tradition, we use the temple bells to remind us to come back to the present moment. Every time we hear the bell, we stop talking, stop our thinking, and return to ourselves, breathing in and out, and smiling. Whatever we are doing, we pause for a moment and just enjoy our breathing. Sometimes we also recite this verse:
Listen, listen.
This wonderful sound brings me back to my true self.
When we breathe in, we say, “Listen, listen,” and when we breathe out,
we say, “This wonderful sound brings me back to my true self.”
When we hear the bell, we can pause and enjoy our breathing and get in touch with the wonders of life that are around us — the flowers, the children, the beautiful sounds. Every time we get back in touch with ourselves, the conditions become favorable for us to encounter life in the present moment."
~Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life
