琉璃心The Mindful Heart /Mindfulness Meditation

🦁 The Mindful Heart Podcast | Season 6, Episode 12The Lion’s Roar: Where Courage Meets Compassion✨ Inspired by the Lotus Sutra and the art of Yu-Hsin Liu劉于新“Again, they beheld the Buddhas, sacred leaders, majestic as lions… Their voices were pure, their words gentle and soft.”What does it mean to be truly strong?In this episode, we explore the profound wisdom of the Lotus Sutra, where the Buddha is described as a majestic lion whose voice is gentle, pure, and filled with compassion.The Buddha’s lion’s roar is not a roar of anger, but a voice of awakening. It reminds us that true strength does not need to be loud, and that wisdom and gentleness can coexist within the same heart.Through Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness, and artistic expression, we reflect on how to:🌿 Speak the truth with compassion.🌿 Face life’s challenges with courage and awareness.🌿 Discover the strength within gentleness.🌿 Transform fear and suffering into wisdom.🎨 A Special Invitation: Held in the HeartIn this episode, I also share the inspiration behind my painting The Lion’s Roar and my current solo exhibition, Held in the Heart: From New York to Tokyo, and Back to Taoyuan.From New York’s Times Square to Tokyo’s Roppongi, and now to Taoyuan, Taiwan, this artistic journey explores the beauty of mindfulness, Buddhist wisdom, and the healing power of art.Set within a hospital, where people encounter some of life’s most vulnerable moments, the exhibition offers a quiet space for reflection, comfort, and connection.📍 Exhibition Venue: Cultural Corridor, Taoyuan Branch of Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan📅 On view through December 31, 2026May we all discover the courage of the lion, the gentleness of a flower, and the wisdom to know when to speak, when to listen, and when to simply be still.May your heart be strong enough to face the world, and gentle enough to embrace it. 💜🎧 Listen to The Mindful Heart PodcastSeason 6, Episode 12 — The Lion’s Roar🌐 https://themindfulheart.org加入會員： https://mindful.firstory.cc/joinComments留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.fm/user/ckqwnj6abmfqu0976slcngntc/commentsPowered by Firstory Hosting

今天，是一個很特別的日子。文殊菩薩聖誕，也是天赦日。很多人說，這一天適合「赦罪、祈福、重新開始」。但如果用楞嚴經的角度來看要被赦的，其實不是命運，而是一直沒看清的那顆心。琉璃心第三季第130集，我們談到一段很深的經文：「耳聲為緣，生於耳識……三處都無。」我們總以為，是別人的話傷了我們，是世界讓我們焦慮不安。但佛陀說：聲音本身，不會傷人；讓你痛苦的，是你對聲音的執著。文殊菩薩手中的劍，不是用來對抗世界，而是斬斷我們內在的無明。而天赦日，也不是外在赦免，而是願意看清一直在相信那些念頭一直把感受當成真實那一刻，就是解脫的開始。這次在台南竹溪禪寺的劉于新「竹溪觀照」畫展，不只是展出作品，而是一種練習：在一筆一色之中，看見心如何起、如何執著、如何放下。也在古寺的時間裡，慢慢學會不急著評價，不急著反應，只是安靜地，看。如果剛好也在找一個「重新開始」的方式，也許不是改變世界，而是先看見：聲音只是聲音情緒只是情緒可以不被帶走—Podcast琉璃心第三季 第130集正念 × 心的解脫練習竹溪觀照畫展台南竹溪禪寺展期至 7/31今天，不只是被赦免的一天，而是願不願意真正看清自己的那一天。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------加入會員，支持節目： https://mindful.firstory.io/join留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/ckqwnj6abmfqu0976slcngntc/commentsPowered by Firstory Hosting

The Mindful Heart Podcast S6E11The Lotus Sutra × Mindfulness PracticeWhen the Buddha speaks of“a light from between the brows illuminating eighteen thousand worlds,”it is not a display of power—it is a question:Can you see your own mind clearly?Every day, we move through our own “six realms”—anxiety, comparison, attachment, avoidance.One thought arises, and a whole world forms.In this episode, we don’t just explore the Lotus Sutra—we turn it into a practice:Seeing thoughts without being carried awayNoticing emotions without reacting immediatelyHolding clarity, even in the midst of chaosThank you to every listenerThe Mindful Heart is now heard across 108 countries.This is not just reach,but awareness, shared and unfolding across the world.If listening can bring you back to yourself,then seeing can too.You are warmly invited toZhuxi Academyfor Liu Yu-Hsin’s “Mindful Observation at Zhuxi” ExhibitionTry this when you enter:Slow down.Breathe.Look without trying to interpret.You may begin to notice:the painting is not just an image—it is a reflection of your own mind.📍 Location｜Zhuxi Academy📅 On view until July 31We meet through soundand we look forward to meeting you in person.support： https://mindful.firstory.io/joincomments：Powered by Firstory Hosting

楞嚴經 第三季・第129集眼、色、識放下用力，看見清明有時候，我們不是累，是「一直在看」。看訊息、看臉色、看未來、看結果眼睛沒有停過，心也沒有。楞嚴經說：眼、色、識，三處都無。不是沒有世界，而是沒有一個需要你用力抓住的東西。當你不再急著看清楚，反而開始真正看見。這樣的「看」，也在劉于新的畫裡靜靜發生。在台南竹溪古寺的空氣中，金色的光不是炫目，而像香火之後留下的餘溫；線條不急著說明，而是讓心慢慢靠近。那不是要理解一幅畫，而是在觀看之中，放下觀看。不再抓住畫面，畫，才開始回來看你。今天，試一個很簡單的練習：不盯任何一個點，讓整個視野一起出現。不去分辨、不去命名，只是知道光在、色在，我們也在。會發現：世界還在，但不再那麼緊。那一刻，心像瑠璃一樣，清透而安住。🏛️ 展覽資訊劉于新竹溪觀照畫展📍 地點：竹溪書院二樓📅 展期：2026.05.10 – 2026.07.31開幕當日：🕙 10:00 開幕（書院三樓）🕐 13:00 中文導覽🕑 14:00 英文導覽這不只是一場畫展，而是一個重新學會「看」的地方。🧘‍♀️ 一分鐘正念👁️ 不找焦點🌬️ 不控制呼吸🌈 讓畫面自己來問自己：「我是在看，還是只是知道？」之所以疲憊，不是因為世界太多，而是一直以為需要一個人去抓住它。加入會員，支持節目： https://mindful.firstory.io/join留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/ckqwnj6abmfqu0976slcngntc/commentsPowered by Firstory Hosting

The Mindful Heart — Season 6, Episode 10Illuminating the Lotus SutraThis episode reflects on a verse spoken by , questioning :> Why does the Guiding Teacher> Emit a great light from the white curl between His brows, illuminating all?> Heavenly flowers fall,> Fragrant sandalwood winds arise,> Delighting every heart.> The earth becomes pure and adorned,> The world trembles in six ways,> And all beings rejoice—> Body and mind at ease,> Experiencing what has never been experienced before.---------------------------------------------------------------Mindfulness ReflectionThis is not a story about miracles.It is a map of the mind.The “light” is awareness.The “flowers and fragrance” are what the present moment feels likewhen resistance softens.The “trembling” is the loosening of what we thought was fixed.And the “joy” is not excitement—but release.Take one minute today:Pause.Breathe.Notice what you are holding onto.Then ask—What happens if I don’t hold it so tightly?That shift…is already the beginning of clarity.---------------------------------------------------------------Support and Comment： https://mindful.firstory.io/join：Powered by Firstory Hosting
