One small trigger can set us off — monk’s mindfulness talk hits hard | Walk for Peace

A lead monk from the cross-country Walk for Peace stopped in Washington, D.C., with a simple message: when we lose mindfulness, we react without heart—and anger spreads fast. In his talk, he compares the mind to a SIM card that “records everything,” describes our “monkey mind” that jumps to every thought, and urges people to practice peace daily. He also offers a specific habit change: don’t reach for your phone first thing in the morning—because the moment you do, your mind starts wandering. Instead, he encourages small daily practices like focusing on your heartbeat, walking with intention, and choosing compassion over the quick reaction.
