Thich Nhat Hanh (pronounced Tick-Naught-Han) is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. During the war in Vietnam, he worked tirelessly for reconciliation between North and South Vietnam. His lifelong efforts to generate peace moved Martin Luther King, Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. He lives in exile in a small community in France where he teaches, writes, gardens, and works to help refugees worldwide. He has conducted many mindfulness retreats in Europe and North America helping veterans, children, environmentalists, psychotherapists, artists and many thousands of individuals seeking peace in their hearts in Buddhism and in their world.
This man has such a warm and calming presence. As he starts to speak i can literally feel my stress melt away.
@Ruby Badilla you must be a Christian
@Ruby Badilla it shows through your ignorance
@Ruby Badilla a true Christian, you should be proud of yourself. Lol 😊
Me too and Buddism is a practice not a religion the Buddha not God.
My wife and I met in the presence of this enlightened teacher in Trafalgar Square 2012.
He was teaching the Four Love Mantras....
We used them as our wedding vows in Inveraray, January 14th 2019.
The Dhamma brought us together and the Dhamma is our refuge.
Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha
🙏🙏🙏 😊
I love listening to him speak. Such wisdom and such beauty in the the truth he speaks.
"The greatest miracle is the miracle of teaching and transforming people", said Buddha.
Master Thich Nhah, you are a great person who practises compassion in action.
What he said about not dying. That is what science teaches us as well. We do not die, we simply disperse, we transfer into the world, we come from stars, we are energy which does not cease to be when we die, but simply transfer elsewhere. It does not hsve to be a soul, or consciousness we do not have to lay claim to that energy, in fact to do so is detrimental, because it is self-centered but in fact it is energy, not just energy, but energy that transfers from us to the universe.
Allan Smith what he teaches is much deeper than that. If you believe we come from stars, the physical realm, then there are great limits. If we evolve from the bottom up then our nature is truly limited. What he teaches is a Divine order. A Higher order that is already perfect and sublime. This is what he refers to as Reality. Not perception.
I been with him for 16 years. For my love of Zen/compassion. So Wonderful. To put together with my 16 years of A.A. 12 steps.
"Things" are arbitrary lines drawn over reality. Thich Nhat Hanh, thank you for your service and wisdom and love!
Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh. You are a blessing to this world, a living continuation of the buddha himself. Everytime I listen to you my mind opens, my suffering lessons, my joy increases, my fear decreases, my compassion increases and my peace increases. Like you say, this is a miracle. I value you this miracle deeply and want to make a promise to myself. May I remember, in times of deep confusion and suffering, the power of your teachings, the power of seeing clearly, so I will know to come home to myself when times are tough.
Thua Kinh Thay,
Thank you for your continuation of your eternal presence…

I don't regularly listen to this man. I sometimes do, whenever I feel stressed out. It is not so much the ideas, the teachings which impress me. These are very similar to core Christian teachings. I read through some comments, and I found that Thich Nhat Hanh is important to some because of the calmness he exudes.To me this wonderful man is poetry personified. He is already advanced in age, but there remains something eternally young, childlike in him (compare this to the words of the Son of Man who said: "If you don't become like children....").
I especially like his presentation about the bell.
Yes.
I being a person with Buddhism religion still learning today when I watch this.
Thank you for your blessings, wisdom & understanding.
What inspirational words. These realisations really can change the world.
One day my mind will work this way. He explains this so clearly...
Love this man.. I wish all would listen and emulate his teachings...
I bought this man's book off Amazon and I love him hes such a inspirational teacher to me
Ajahn Hanh is an enlightened being, great teacher, and a living example of Dharma!
He is such a sweet person, to speak to us and try to explain.
I love you thich nhat hanh ❤
Very great reflection of Buddhism. Thich Nath Han is truly one of the great Buddhist philosophers that is able to give these good examples and comparisons, with the western world in order to let many people understand the traditional teachings of the Buddha.
Thank you for this new, yet inspiring upload!
A truly advanced and profound master. There are indeed very few legitimate teachers as this great one. Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Understanding the world is a miracle! Wow! Thank you Thầy for your teaching! I love you!
Well put together, I got a great session for today. Thich is a great teacher and I would love to meditate under his guidance.
13:05 "the buddha is a human beeing who has a deep capacity of understanding and of loving"
Its amazing how little consolation these teachings provide. Most of the time I hope we can all go beyond this physical state with all its good things and sufferings to something else and not come back. Seriously, how many more "deaths", with its diseases, pains and breakdowns can one want to experience?
Such a nice fella.
I am currently studying Buddhism online and this religion has been the most interesting so far. Plus this video has been very educational!
Love you my teacher Blessings to all 💖💖💖🙏
You're misunderstanding the video. Nowhere did he say that you have to be isolated, actually Buddhism teaches that you are everything and everything is you (I believe that it does). You can also live as a layperson and practice Buddhism. Also, learning about getting over the struggle's of the human body is one of the key concepts of Buddhism. As for your last two questions, why would we want to embrace suffering because it seems to me that, that's what you're asking.
Buddha was an enlightened individual. A person like him comes
along maybe once a century. Many rules don't apply to men who
are past ego play.
You are obviously a very smart person. I hope for you that your
intelligence doesn't get in the way of 'your path'. It's within your
heart that the answers will be found and your mind secondarily.
I hope I did not come off offensive to you, because I appreciate
your efforts and that was not my intention.
Good luck~
i listened to this master and read his book when i was 20 years old and now i'm 34. took me 14 years to understand his teaching! haha. hard headed and had to go through hell to realize all the time i was in heaven! just didn't appreciate and realize it any earlier. haha. well worth 14 yrs in the jungle of ignorance! :)
My dearest teacher ❤❤🙏
Thank you for this amazing message !
Thank you, this is such a perfect explanation of what we think of as our "soul".
Powerful teachings....
Thank you for this, it's exactly what I needed
woah 9 years ago
Beautiful!
Thats a very good idea . Buddhism can make you only a better and happyr person like myself and it really changed my live ;) Good luck
Many thanks for this teaching.
bill and bob and tay....quite a trio!!!
I can't believe Thich is in his mid-late eighties! He looks great!
I love your intonations and inflections, I just want to give you a big hug :) not just because of that but because you are so full of love ;))
Teaching and transformation, looking deep into reality. Great!
You must understand that all religions including Buddhism preach the same things. It is only the people who misinterpret the faith and use the religion to preach obedience and fear.Religion is a path and some are not as clear as others. I used to be a Christian, but I found that path too difficult to follow. Then I found out about Buddhism and found that path easier to understand and I have been following it for three years. May you find peace on whatever path you take my friend. :)
The Style Of is teaching is a very interessting and powerfull combination between Zen Theravade and Western thinking.
Great video! Thich Nhat Hanh is a wise teacher. I see.
Such an lovely speach, thank you !
I marvel at his determination to spread his wisdom, and I greatly appreciate it as well.
pure and simple! thank you
I like being me however adding to make me a better me by listening to his teaching is grand!
Thank you very much for sharing
"experiencing totality directly,one no longer needs an 'opinion'(or view)about it at all!."
I really love the way you've worded what you said, very beautiful....(SneakyTweezer)
namaste'
the statement about " talking " is from the tao te ching...please read the entire chapter for better understanding
thank you
I'll quote the Dalai Lama that buddhism can be (relatively) separated to buddhist science, buddhist philosophy and buddhist religion. Thich Nhat Hanh rarely touches the religious part, except for some specific Dharma talks.
Have a good day! :)
Thank you for posting this
thank you
Thats beautiful.
I also agree with this! We are like-minded.
Meditation is self reflection, It helps to allow you to think before you speak. It helps you see your actions and that your words have weight. It brings up your demons and makes you deal with them. I will agree you do sit down, but besides that fact you misunderstand meditation. You should try it! It's not easy, but very rewarding.
When defining "faith" one has to distinguish between "faith in" and "faith that" (to use Martin Buber's terminology). "Faith in" is an attitude of trust and submission to a person whom one reveres; "faith that" is an intellectual assent to certain propositions that are not, or cannot, be rationally demonstrated. If we are in relationship with anyone we must have "faith in" to a certain extent. I cannot know that my wife loves me and is faithful; so I have faith in her. (Continued).
truly inspirational
Inspirational video. Great insight!
"To know all is to forgive all." - French proverb
I agree with this.

"a direct encounter with reality"
@philip2260 my point is that India is saying that lord buddha was born in india and it is still thae part of India but the truth is that Lumbini(Birth place of lord buddha now @ nepal not India).
Here is a vdeo people are watching because they enjoy it. Those who don't agree or enjoy have free will in moving on.. I'm confused, not with your discusion so much as the anger that accompanies it. Discussions can be helpfull and help one grow sprirtually without hurling insults. It appears as if you are attempting to protect your dignity (I am assuming, due to your list of accomplishments). Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Amicable would be nicer though don't you think?:-)
:-) I was defining faith by distinguishing between two different types of faith: "faith in" and "faith that". I was deliberately avoiding vagueness.
If you are not open to alternative ways of thinking that you shouldn't dialogue with people.
Thich is a Buddha! When I watch this video I don't see Thich I see Buddha! Peace and Nirvana to all!
LIFE IS permanent. It only changes form.
I could only assume, but once you're enlightened you no longer attach to "loneliness" as that is just another aversion. The state of physical being is either in attraction or aversion. Becoming enlightened removes these barriers. Again, I'm only assuming that.
Great teacher! :)
Thank you for this video. : )
Yes in sikhism also this ... matter or energy can be convert one form to another but never die ...
Lot of reverence to you 🙏I want to attend your discourse bhikhshu 🙏pls tell me. I am in India.
I study Buddhism but I don't practice it although I do meditate sometimes. No we can't escape from views because we are human but I think it's similar to Socrates in the sense of 'all I know is I know nothing at all.' What I mean by language being too clumsy is that it can't describe what's actually there, like if I say think of a leaf you'd think of one but what you actually think of a leaf isn't a leaf at all because the language misses out so much detail of one leaf, the shades of (cont)
This is my favorite d00d.
I think you are getting caught up with the details.
Buddhism seems very important to you and I'm sure when someone
misquotes or presumes something that you feel is inconsistent
with Buddhist doctrine it annoys you, understandably.
But whether intended or not, your comments come off as
'counting angels on the head of a pin'.
Always remember, 'Those who know don't talk. Those who
talk, don't know'! Good luck~
Yeah he'd probably agree with that. That's the trouble with language it's extraordinarily clumsy and it very rarely, if at all, describes something adequately but it's the best we have.
I love your soul because your soul is beautiful, WOW !!! Wished that I could have your children for you :)))
Ok thanks for those illuminating comments.
The problems is that you have completely neglected to tell me how I am wrong, so I'd be grateful for some more illuminating comments to this end.
When you get postgrad qualifications from Cambridge, Sorbonne, etc., you might be in a position to say who is and who isn't "stupid".
with respect,I for one can easily forego any further 'tasting 'of suffering.Its a mis-statement,in my eyes,to accrue retrospective 'learning' value to suffering .
Consider that open, shared,awareness we all have of sounds, temperature, and suchlike.Then consider what such a mind could
actually look like.It could'nt possibly look like anything,could it?
What could 'everything happening at once' possibly look like?
Thanks for this opportunity.
Can I have the link to the whole program pleasE?
I began amicably but unfortunately the person to whom I was responding wasn't. That is presumably why that person has removed most of their comments. He was hurling at me the usual "new atheist" insults and abuse; and it irked me somewhat. So, sure, you're right, but let's put it in context!
Because in the west we are generally Cartesian dualists it doesn’t help to say that a cloud doesn’t die because to us a cloud has no mind/internal world. Thay should address that notion.
Direct experience of reality is not a 'view' on or of reality,it is DIRECT experience.That is why it needs no 'view' .
His name should be "Wis-dom". His words remove my anxiety....
To add to that: it is for sure the removal of aversions and attractions, all manifestations of the mind, physical senses and feeling. I suppose you could call it "nothingness". BUT all accounts seem to suggest that the experience is well beyond what humans would understand as nothingness.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mr Julian Assange, Jai Bhim I am from Pune India. If you are really interested in Buddhism you can contact local organization like TRILOKYA BUDDHA SAHAYAK GAN in London. They have teaching centers all over world.
I wish I wasn’t afraid.

I want to learn about Buddhism and visit a temple :-) It is very interesting to me. I am a Caucasian Westerner ( England ) who has been brought up in a rough, polluted area with no spiritual side what-so-ever. I myself, was really uninterested and against religion in many ways. Now I am older ( 28 ) I realise, the religions we were taught about are all nonsense! They don't preach love and peace but obedience and fear ( of hell ). Buddhism is very fascinating and I want to learn all about it.
As an agnostic too I do not like labeling myself. %) "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." - Buddha %) Not bad for a religion, huh?
🙏
The captions are EPIC WRONG !!!
There IS a religious aspect to it, and MANY lay Buddhists consider the Buddha a god or believe in Godly manifestations, as the Buddha himself did. The philosophical side to Buddhism, however, is largely a study of consciousness and relies on no creator deity.
