Rest in peace Thay. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Indeed you never die but you continue to live in our lives every day, if we choose to see you in it.
PLEASE understand that many people are not in good physical health and they cannot stop coughing They don't disturb Thay There is no reason to let the coughing disturb you Just realise how privileged we are to receive this teaching
Becoming distracted and irritated by focusing on the coughing, is to fall at the first hurdle in the practice of mindfulness. Simply observe it as a distraction, then let it go and continue. Each time it enters your consciousness, acknowledge it briefly again, set it down and return to the present moment.
It never crossed my mind til i saw all these comments lol. Doesn't bother me. I'm used to 2 crazy cats bumping around the house and it's all just background sound.
In this world of lockdown my mindfulness practise is easily confused and presence without interbeing is felt as loneliness,thank you for your gentle pointing dear one.🙏🏼🌻🌼
I am very fortunate to be here learning and listening to your teachings up to this point One moment at a time one step at a time Greatful Thankful Blessed Amen 🙏 🙏
It would be pretty easy for me to make critical comments about the coughing. Instead I am focusing on Thichs ability to stay mindful in his teachings and not letting those sounds distract him. If he could do that I can listen and practice not being distracted. 🙏🏻
Amazing how many chronic malcontents obsess over people coughing rather than paying attention to the content and pure wisdom of his teaching. So many unhappy, disgruntled, miserable people out there.
Every thing is.. Divine.. Divinity is... Not.. In.. Past.. Or.. Future... Mindfulness... To be 💕.. Present... Omnipresent Omnipotent.. Mindfulness... Source of all Existence...
Thank you for this recording. Am grateful to be listening to this teaching. LOL despite the intrusive loudly coughing same few people in the audience throughout this entire session, who are at times louder in volume than Thich Nhat Hanh's voice.
No matter what the teacher says, it's not important to ''be happy'' and ''not sad'' but the whole goal of life is to achieve transfiguration like the Way Christ did it. The important thing in life is to achieve metamorphosis from a human/carbon life form into a divine/light form of life. All suffering comes from carbon living!
Nirvana or Hell is there for each of us every moment . Life is full of sickness and death and laughter and joy . We bring more suffering onto ourselves when we reject the reality of the world around us .
This is the quintessential argument put forth by the early church apologists in denouncing the Gnostic traditions, as they saw these practices as fundamentally equating the flesh with sin. It makes sense from a practical standpoint to conclude that the Gnostic traditions boiled down to this premise, because surface level analysis of surviving texts seems to suggest as much… but the tradition is far deeper than that. What you’re trying to communicate here, in obvious relation to the lecture, is simply that the vehicle for modern living as it exists in our psychosocial identity as westerners is fundamentally absurd and illusory, am I right? To forge the light body is something that occurs as a result of transmutation and distillation of the individual into a “purified state” wherein the Buddha nature is made clear. What these commenters are trying to explain as a retort is that the outcome of this endeavor is a product no different than that which you started with. Nirvana and hell are in constant presence with one another, only a breath away. The degree of attachment and intellectual abstraction we apply to the issue is the measure by which we become entrapped by it. If you were to ascend beyond your mortal limitations and endure forever as this ego-mind apart from the suffering of this world, what would be the point? You can speak in the tongues of angels and raise the dead, but if you have not love, you have nothing. Love and understanding, they are inseparable. To understand is to experience gnosis, and to attain gnosis is to become free from the flesh and achieve everlasting life. You never lost that life. You only forgot that it was there, because the “trap” of the flesh was designed as a tool to experience gnosis.
During the time you are practicing mindfulness, you stop talking-not only the talking outside, but the talking inside. The talking inside is the thinking, the mental discourse that goes on and on and on inside. Real silence is the cessation of talking-of both the mouth and of the mind. This is not the kind of silence that oppresses us. It is a very elegant kind of silence, a very powerful kind of silence. It is the silence that heals and nourishes us. uhs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/article_-_five_steps_to_mindfulness.pdf Mindfulness practice should be enjoyable, not work or effort
Not necessarily living in the moment while "one" is giving a speech about living in the moment and mindfullness while not doing so while Hoping one of us in the "future" will grasp the idea... This is why there is always more than one way to reach whatever the "One" has already reached in the present... now...passed... now future... Living in the moment is being murdered while being at peace. Being in the moment while being shot at in war! Yet still breathing the"one's breath within the present. Giving birth is an ideal about how your kid will be in the future.... Ironical truth.
Many people have health issues and are welcome at Plumvillag Thay is not bothered by the coughing He understands that they are not well and are very welcome
"Suppose you are a being of the planet, you suffer much less" Yes it is right . But don't think one of " America first" won't agree. A fascist too. Tell or show them:"You are suffering ". Be curious, what will happen. Think , he will answer:"Oh my god, now I got it, now I know the reasons why I am so annoyed?" Hmmm, I am a little bit sceptical.
@@BethyKable he makes perfect sense… just not so good on syntax. Basically he’s just commenting on how people focus so much on their own identity and then wonder why they suffer so much when they perceive a threat to that ideology.
@@blindsoul7915 I agree completely and it’s refreshing to see someone comment this. So often I see people screaming in vitriol about their enemies, mocking and deriding them, not understanding that they share the same root consciousness. The same behavior patterns would’ve been inherited by either, should the conditions of their birth be reversed. Instead isn’t it more important what we do with these experiences, rather than the experiences themselves? One can easily engage in hatred of another, especially when feeling threatened. It is easy to love people who think and look like you. Much harder to see yourself in the oppressor and be willing to forgive in anticipation of their potential self revelation of who they really are. I will admit though that I can’t help but take the side of the underdog, no matter the context. It’s very hard for me to place myself in the shoes of the status-quo when everything about me is aberrant and seemingly incompatible with humanity in general. Very natural to see other people suffering in the same way and project my own struggle onto them, seeing them as implicitly righteous just as I subconsciously see myself
MANY PEOPLE Go to Plumvillag for healing not just healing of the mind MANY are physically sick and Thay is fully aware of them and he pleased to have them
I been watching this for 10 years. Dont ever delete it please :)

I am trying mindfulness practice any addvice that I may use? thank you for posting the video really helpful !!!
You could check plumvillage.org, I think there you will find enough source about mindfulness practice
"To truely be present we have to stop our thinking. This is the secret of success". Thich Nhat Hanh, How to Eat (Mindfulness Essential, #2).

Just picked up a prisoner, on the white lines, of the freeway.
Not necessarily living in the moment while "one" is giving a speech about living in the moment and mindfullness while not doing so while
Hoping one of us in the "future" will grasp the idea...
This is why there is always more than one way to reach whatever the "One" has already reached in the present... now...passed... now future...
Living in the moment is being murdered while being at peace.
Being in the moment while being shot at in war!
Yet still breathing the"one's breath within the present.
Giving birth is an ideal about how your kid will be in the future.... Ironical truth.
Get out of your head & remember how to dance.
J’aimerais la traduction en français des commentaires si possible, merci beaucoup.
Left off at 55:26
I find it amazing that this wise man is teaching mindfulness and diligence and these goddamn people can't control their coughs.
Agree
enter into the realm of what pls
what is darkansaka
Thay is refering to the Avatamsaka sutra, you can google it. 🙏🌸
COUGHERSS!! Oh no they're back! Lol are they paid to come and interrupt his speeches with incessant coughing?! Go outside !! Lol
Many people have health issues and are welcome at Plumvillag Thay is not bothered by the coughing He understands that they are not well and are very welcome
Frustrating that all of his talks seem to be taking place in a tuberculosis ward.
I didn't notice until some dumbass comments, lol. Everytime someone coughs I will send you compassion.
lecture is nonself.
People with ongoing coughing in the background!
"Suppose you are a being of the planet, you suffer much less"
Yes it is right .
But don't think one of " America first" won't agree.
A fascist too. Tell or show them:"You are suffering ".
Be curious, what will happen.
Think , he will answer:"Oh my god, now I got it, now I know the reasons why I am so annoyed?"
Hmmm, I am a little bit sceptical.
Hating fascism can be transformed into feeling compassion for the victims of the ideology. You are really missing an opportunity to build up yourself.
Bernd Mensing You make no sense

Who would think it to be right when you go to a teaching to cough and hack all thru the talk? Not mindfulness or considerate at all!
MANY PEOPLE Go to Plumvillag for healing not just healing of the mind MANY are physically sick and Thay is fully aware of them and he pleased to have them
You don't have to be so uncompromising either. Where did you have your attention? ask yourself
Who would pay attention to the background so deeply when the message is right under their nose?
Agree - their coughing was so loud at times it drowned out what was being said.
