- What better way to celebrate the arrival of the new year than learning to cultivate more loving-kindness towards ourselves, our loved ones, and the rest of the natural world?
You can also find and practice the guided meditation from this talk in the Plum Village App: plumvillage.app/
For more talks by Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village monastics please subscribe to the main Plum Village yt channel: / @plumvillageonline
We are republishing this rare and precious talk where Thich Nhat Hanh taught the Metta Sutra as part of a special Dharma Talk for the New Year, encouraging us to practice loving-kindness mediation as a form of beginning anew.
On the first day we practice for ourselves. On the second day we practice for the ones we love. On the third day we practice for the other person (or institution) that makes us suffer.
Transcript of the guided meditation:
May I be peaceful and light in my body and in my mind.
May I be safe and free from accidents.
May I be free from anger, unwholesome states of mind, fear and worries.
May I know how to look at myself with the eyes of
understanding and compassion.
May I be able to recognize and touch the seeds of joy and happiness in myself.
May I learn how to nourish myself with joy each day.
May I be able to live fresh, solid and free.
May I not fall into the state of indifference or be caught in
the extremes of attachment or aversion.

This is a happy moment. I want to shear it with the Sangha here.
I am not in a Sangha outside. It is, like Thay say, very difficult. Because also if the questions coming up and the feelings. Maybe there are people living in Vienna here and we can practicing mindfulness together. 🫶
The new year is nearly there and three days ago my beloved father died too young with 62 years, so my suffering continues every second with every breath i take. I just can be so thankful for expirience all the love that stays in my Heart and let it stretch and heal and share my Love with mother earth now. Thank you❤
A lotus for you dearest friend. 🙏🏻✨🤍✨ Please keep your daily practice.
Sending you much care and loving kindness,

Not everyone gets to have a sangha like that...
I'm here..for the coughing!
100% they dont really need to cough. They just cant sit still
😂
I would like to follow this channel but I have difficulty with the accent your founder has when speaking in English. If the opportunity arises, could your organization slow the presentation and provide subtitles? Thank you.
Dear Nina, thank you for your feedback. Most of our videos have subtitles and even translations in various languages. You have to make sure you have the subtitles feature turned on the channel you watch our videos. Some of the new videos don't have subtitles as most of them are done by our wonderful team of volunteers and it could take a bit of time :) But more subtitles are coming as we are currently looking for solutions to this. Hope this helps. With gratitude 🙏

Is there always a bug going around in his talks? Hacking coughs everywhere. His Google talk was the quietest.
🙏🏻🤍🕊
I m looking for spiritual life partner as seeker to heal together by living together with full of love...not interested in any cults like isha, iskcon, art of living etc ... But ok to surrender to real gurus like krishna, buddha, Jesus, ramana maharishi etc .. strictly none inbetween to god except some mere teachers to learn some practices
It's possible if love expectations are from heart by mediation together, eating cooking together, doing some good to soceity together and working a business together.
Unlike love that is faked in movies being a slave to narcissistic partner.
It is difficult to hear him say that it is easy to practice with a sangha and very difficult without. I don't have a sangha to practice with and am discouraged
Your practice does not need to be perfect smile to the imperfection accept it and be encouraged
There are many online sanghas to join, which over time can become like an in person sangha for you. If you want to try this out I suggest Asheville Insight Meditation, very knowledgable leader and wonderful group of people. Second suggestion is to start a sangha - we recently started a weekly meditation group in our little town, and it is very supportive.
@@kathymartin1650 where is best sangha near Richmond, VA
@@tommynorris I do not live near there, so I don't know, but looking online there are Meditation groups in Richmond which offer in person and online meditation meetings. Hope you try some and find one that is good for you.
Dear Kathy, Thank you. 🧡 🌎 🙏
