Mindfulness brought Peacefulness: Grow Mindfulness Tree for World Peace

Abstract

Paying attention to other people’s feelings and caring for the environment are important skills for the future. Developing these two skills I am the first steps to create a peaceful mind which has awareness and can live with other people without conflict and in harmony and care for nature and the environment. These skills also are an important base for having world peace. We do not need the superhero to protect the world in the modern era, but we need only the normal people who have sufficient mindfulness and do not harm the other people or the world. Therefore, the author explains the cultivation of mindfulness for solving problems and growing loving-kindness for peace.

          The mindful cultivation is compared to the huge tree that we need to grow and especially to take care of the taproot. When the taproot of the mindfulness tree is strong, it can outgrow, resist bad weather, be safe from termites, worms, and insects; and then it can bloom, give fruit, and shade to everyone.
