This brief from the Buddha encourages us to practice jhana, or meditation, as a means of becoming mindful and aware of our surroundings. The roots of trees and empty dwellings are symbols of life’s impermanence and emptiness — reminders that nothing is permanent in this world.
By practicing jhana, we can transform our lives through inner contemplation and realize the truth that lies within ourselves. Jhana helps us become more mindful by allowing us to focus on one thought at a time without getting distracted by external stimuli. It also teaches us to be kinder and more compassionate towards others, which ultimately leads us to inner peace and contentment. With regular practice, we can learn how to detach ourselves from worldly desires while being present in the moment and appreciating the beauty of life.
