Thich Nhat Hanh answers questions during a retreat in Plum Village (May, 2014). Question: How can I trust myself? ~~~ Help us caption & translate this video! amara.org/v/FUSY/
I adore this channel. I have recently started looking into the concept of mindful self-compassion. Having self compassion for oneself is quite difficult after 30 years of negative self talk
Hi there! We talk to ourselves so negatively all day long. How can we be happy if we don't learn to become best friends with ourselves? Love, peace and enlightenment to you and to all.
You are loved. Your current life circumstances are bettering.. you just cannot see it clearly when you're so in your own head.. but practice having faith, and take a strangers words when he tells you that you are exactly where you are meant to be in this moment. Faith is a PRACTICE. Be more gentle with your self. I love you.
I love the fact that He always contemplating the ancestors, this is really great and it works so much to recognize and reconnect to them. I never thought in that way and It is helping me so much. Thank you thank you thank you
Here Dear Thich speaks on how one can develop trust in himself. He said it is very important to have trust in himself. For that, one should not believe whatever he listens, even if it is from the best teacher, but try to find evidence. He should practice and follow the path and should find himself that, whether it is working or not... Once he finds the right path, he will develop trust in the path, consequently, he will gain trust in himself as well, that yes I know what the path is and Yes I can do it because I already am doing it, This type of trust is unshakable and will not get diluted by anything.
I suffer more when I don't do what I can to make the one I love suffer less... I am capable of doing that and you are too. The seeds of compassion are in US!!!
I've practised deep breathing for 2 months and it is very good for me. not only my brain is fresher but there are more wonderful things happened to me (The wonderfulness is also our attitude to what happening). All things Thay said i 've gone through. I really appreciate what i got from Thay. Sorry for my bad English.
What a privilege, to hear the experiences first hand, from someone who was taught, by the greatest Teacher of our time. Bless you for sharing this moment 🙏 ❤ xxx
Here is a part of the Kalama sutra Thay mentioned 😊🙏🌸 The Buddha is talking to the Kalama people who came to question him on doubt: "Of course you are uncertain, Kalamas. Of course you are in doubt. When there are reasons for doubt, uncertainty is born. So in this case, Kalamas, don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, 'This contemplative is our teacher.' When you know for yourselves that, 'These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering' - then you should abandon them. "What do you think, Kalamas? When greed arises in a person, does it arise for welfare or for harm?" "For harm, venerable sir" "And this greedy person, overcome by greed, his mind possessed by greed, kills living beings, takes what is not given, goes after another person's wife, tells lies, and induces others to do likewise, all of which is for long-term harm & suffering." "Yes, venerable sir." "Now, what do you think, Kalamas? When aversion arises in a person, does it arise for welfare or for harm?" "For harm, venerable sir" "And this aversive person, overcome by aversion, his mind possessed by aversion, kills living beings, takes what is not given, goes after another person's wife, tells lies, and induces others to do likewise, all of which is for long-term harm & suffering." "Yes, venerable sir" "Now, what do you think, Kalamas? When delusion arises in a person, does it arise for welfare or for harm?" "For harm, venerable sir" "And this deluded person, overcome by delusion, his mind possessed by delusion, kills living beings, takes what is not given, goes after another person's wife, tells lies, and induces others to do likewise, all of which is for long-term harm & suffering." "Yes, venerable sir." "So what do you think, Kalamas: Are these qualities skillful or unskillful?" "Unskillful, venerable sir" "Blameworthy or blameless?" "Blameworthy, venerable sir." "Criticized by the wise or praised by the wise?" "Criticized by the wise, venerable sir" "When adopted & carried out, do they lead to harm & to suffering, or not?" "When adopted & carried out, they lead to harm & to suffering. That is how it appears to us." Full sutra can be read here (two translations available) www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an03/an03.065.than.html
“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages... In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried” - Emerson
🙏🙏🙏🙏 I have a problem , how to avoid negative thought that pops up in mind ,I am fear of such thoughts , i am getting very panic if such negative images pops up in my mind please help me what I should do .
Hello stanzin, I would suggest you to read 'No mud no lotus' written by Thay. Its a beautiful book which helps us to face our suffering and overcome them.
If you press the 'subtitles' button, you will see that there are already English subtitles, and anyone can make Spanish subtitles through this link: amara.org/v/FUSY/
tom wool that makes sense. It makes me happy to know that that is the case, rather than ppl squandering the opportunity to hear this amazing man speak.
We're still working on the subtitles of this and other videos, and we intend to publish them all together, so if you like this one, you'll be glad to know we have a whole lot more coming up :)
Bahb Woolley I don't know what is meant by unlisted. Anyway these videos are recorded, edited and uploaded by the Plum Village community, under the guidance of Thich Nhat Hanh (if it's from their channel it's reliable) 🙏😊🌸
That's not living when you can't make your own decisions an have to look in an instruction book an do what it tells you to do. Do you think God wants slaves? If so maybe you should drop that God an get a new God, the loving God!
This man is my favorite monk. I am so amazed by his knowledge and mastery of human life. His is so calm and reassuring that life can be beautiful.

Hi there! We talk to ourselves so negatively all day long. How can we be happy if we don't learn to become best friends with ourselves? Love, peace and enlightenment to you and to all.
Why i should befriend something i don't like ?
How is everything now Lucy?
@@chaoticneutral7573 just observe the self talk in the mind
@@chaoticneutral7573because we learn and we grow from it. Ww face down fears. We have one less thing in the wotld that we don't like.
You are loved.

The doubt is only the environment not us~ a true genius- fully trust the dharma always (no more crashing!!!). Nothing is more important :)

Your English is fine. I deeply appreciate your comment. It is very helpful to me in a time of need. Thank you. I feel you are a friend.
Now I understand. Breath gives the life to us . In order to trust in myself, I choose to trust in my Breath.
Wow, I never had that one before... The greater the doubt the greater the enlightenment.❤️
that's the True
平和溫柔地給予眾人智慧的箴言，一行禪師在我無助的時刻給了我好大的提醒：老實修行！

For Tom Wool, Thank you SO MUCH for giving us the link to read the Kalama Sutta. Very helpful to me. With my regards, Michael
I love you so much more than anything I love you
The first few words itself sum up and let me know something which is so helpful - Trust is cultivated rather than just found.
Beautiful words and explanation
Thank you so much, Thay 💗 I love you 💕 For you changed my life 🤗🌷Thank you, Plum Village ⚘ I love you ⚘ For you changed my life ❤ ⚘🌷💐

I can't believe all the people talking in the background!
Perhaps they are translators.
yeah are usually many real-time translators in Plum Village - French, Vietnamese, Dutch, German ...
Translations going on. Also in some retreats children are there

What's this about? Warning: "This video is unlisted. Be considerate and think twice before sharing. "
So I'll just keep it to myself, I guess.
You can share it anyways :) Think for real: can someone get mad by sharing this theaching?
We're still working on the subtitles of this and other videos, and we intend to publish them all together, so if you like this one, you'll be glad to know we have a whole lot more coming up :)
