　　When we hear the small bell, you may stand up and bow to the Sangha before you go out. (The children leave the meditation hall to go outside and play.)

　　(Bell)

　　Quand je respire avec les feuilles des grands chenes, je deviens la fraicheur des feuilles, la joie, et la couleur verte. "When I breathe with the leaves of the big oak trees, I become the freshness of these leaves, and the joy of their green color." In fact, this is possible, because perception is made of subject and object of perception, the perceiver and the perceived. When you are really in touch, you become what you touch with your perception. When you see peace, you become peace. When you touch stability, you become stability. The perceiver and the perceived are not separate entities. When you have a great thought, you become the greatness of that thought. When the object of your love is freedom, is stability, then you become freedom and stability. All of us know that the subject and the object of cognition are always together.

　　Conscience, c”est toujours conscience de quelque chose. "Consciousness is always consciousness of something." Mindfulness also; mindfulness is always mindfulness of something. When you have mindfulness of the blue sky, you become the blue sky, and the separation is removed.

　　Quand je regarde le bleu du ciel, je deviens sa legerete, sa purete et sa limpidite. "When I look at the blue sky, I become the lightness of the blue sky, I become the purity of the blue sky, and her clarity."

　　Quand je danse avec le vent, je deviens sa liberte. "When I dance with the wind, I become her liberty."

　　Je ne suis pas ce moi limite par son manque d”energie, enferme dans ses habitudes negatives, egoistes, et etroite. "I am not caught in this limited self and its lack of energy, and imprisoned in its negative habits, egoism, and narrowness."

　　Je suis aussi ce que je vois, ce que j”entends, ce que je touche, ce que je respire, ce que je pense. "I am also what I see, what I hear, what I touch, what I breathe, and what I think."

　　Je deviens la douceur orange de la carotte, la fraicheur verte de la salade, quand je les mange. "I become the orange sweetness of the carrots, the green freshness of the lettuce when I eat them."

　　Je ne suis pas un moi separe, je suis ce donc je me nourris. "I am not a separate self; I am what I feed myself." This is good, because you know that everything you consume becomes you, and with mindfulness you know what to consume and what not to consume. That is the practice of the Fifth Mindfulness Training.

　　Seigneur Bouddha, puisse je toujours pratiquer l”ecoute profonde, et toujours finir par entendre ta voix qui penetre et traverse tout le cosmos. "Lord Buddha, I wish I could always practice deep listening, that I could always listen to your voice that penetrates and goes through all the cosmos."

　　Bien aime Avalokiteshvara, puisse tu grandir en moi, et aider, sauver, proteger, liberer, tous les etres qui souffrent. "Beloved Avalokiteshvara, please grow up in me and help save, protect, protect and free all living beings who suffer."

　　Je suis ton ardent disciple. "I am a wholehearted disciple of yours."

　　Pardon pour ma peur, mon manque de courage et d”energie. "Please forgive my fear, my lack of courage and energy."

　　Aidez-moi a me transformer afin que je deviens la continuite de ta main, de ta parole, de ton coeur, de ton esprit; et que je sois admis a ton cote, pour oeuvrer avec toi au bien-etre de tous les etres. "Help me to transform, so that I become your continuation, the continuation of your hand, of your words, of your heart, and of your mind, that I could be admitted to your side, in order to help you in the work of bringing well being to all living beings."
