Bell of Awareness (activities)

In Plum Village Practice Centers around the world, the monastic family are invited to finish their current activity with the sound of a bell. The next activity is always scheduled at least 15 minutes in the future, so one never needs to rush to arrive; instead, we move mindfully to close and clean up, to take care of our logistical or bodily needs, and walk with a smile to whatever is next in our day.

You can also download a file to use as an alarm on your phone or tablet. The file is filled to 3 minutes with silence, so that the alarm will not repeat too quickly.
