On the 2nd September 2006:
Women's Movement for Peace and Prosperity (an initiative of the Times Foundation) and Dharma Rain Centre oganised a public talk on Meditation in Everyday Life by Dharmacharya Shantum Seth at the Times of India Building.

Dharmacharya Shantum Seth is an ordained teacher in the Zen (Dhyana) tradition of the Vietnamese Master Thich Nhat Hanh. He teaches in India and abroad and has been leading pilgrimages 'In the Footsteps of the Buddha' since 1988
Shantum said: Become aware of the miracle of each breath. Walking, talking, even the disturbing sound of the cell phone during a talk can be used to meditate...A bell should 'bring' you in touch with yourself...

Thich Nhat Hanh says:
Walking meditation is like eating. With each step, we nourish our body and our spirit. When we walk with anxiety and sorrow, it is a kind of junk food. The food of walking meditation should be of a higher quality. Just walk slowly and enjoy a banquet of peace...
