he always explains ‘spiritual ‘ concepts in such a straightforward manner...he never tries to dazzle or complicate with his words. Such a great teacher
I am stuck in a job situation where I am purposely being isolated, gaslit, and excluded. Yet I stay because I fear letting go. This video popped up on my feed this evening. Thank you, this is the gem I needed to hear!!!
Yes, rest in peace. Very educative. Please allow me to interrupt. I know it is rude but I feel it’s my duty to inform Buddhists of what I know. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. I have just videographed Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana temple. She is regarded the great grandmother of that are just as Buddha is regarded as grandfather (Baba).
I pay attention to what he says. I love his videos. Please allow me to interrupt. I know it is rude but I feel it’s my duty to inform Buddhists of what I know.

I don’t regret the past but I’m sad that part of my life is over. This is my cow. Thinking about the past that is gone is very painful. Children grown and out of the house. All of family older. I am missing out on the present when I am sad. I pray that I can let go and accept life on life’s terms. Then there’s the future which I can be fearful about. Like losing my parents, we all die etc. Another cause of sadness which is painful. Past and future keep me from enjoying my life, the present moment. Letting go is very relevant and I loved this talk. I have to let my cows go. Love to all.
These are simple, yet powerful ideas, that allow us to change what can be changed and just flow naturally with life, without attachments (worries, expectations, desires) and unnecessary suffering. Thank you for these teachings! Om Shanti 🕉️☸️🙏
When I look around and see newspapers and watch some news items I feel most humans are living empty lives with the only purpose of gaining wealth and sense pleasure and trying to avoid suffering.Thay sensibly says that many people take refuge in shopping,watching films and going on holiday in order to heal the suffering..I think in order to live more freely I’ve found it necessary to look deeply into life and death and learn the art of suffering so we suffer less..I’ve been reading Thays books for 30 years and it has helped me transform many negative energies..I still have fear at times but when it arises I tried to hold it like Thay suggests and it does then have less impact..I like Thays words as they are non dogmatic too..thanks my friend

I'm sick and my family it's a very stressful time for us, county and globally But listening to this i laughed and realized life now is better than having cows. Thank you
Thick Nhat Hanh makes sense of the complexities of our lives that we create. Realising we have the choice to let go is the most empowering realisation of all, even letting go of disease... Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼☯🌈🌍

Los Angeles is a beautiful place to live. I love it here. So quiet. Lots of nature. Thay has some kind of idea (judgment) about LA? I appreciate his teaching though. Long live Thich Nhat Hanh.
Such a wisdom and insight that we all need and is crucial in all of our lives at some point. Hes insights have helped me in some of my biggest struggles. Thx Thay.

Letting go is a wonderful practise that brings freedom, joy and peace. My attachments has caused me to suffer a lot. If we are honest with ourself, we might see our attachments that cause us to suffer. Letting go is hard many times, but u can do it! U deserve to suffer less. We all do! I still work on them. And i know for a fact its obstacles for my joy and happiness.. I hope u all have a great life with much joy and happiness! We are all pretty much the same and are here with each other. Nobody deserve to overwhelm with suffering, my feeling is that such a person like this is very important for us right now. He helped me to realise that my running towards objects of craving is a hinderance for my peace and happiness. Many of us suffer, as my self. This man learned me that suffering is not bad, cuz if u know how ot suffer. U suffer less.. I wish u all peace, joy and happiness and dont feel weak if u suffer. Without suffering u cannot know happiness.

Death cannot part you from the one you love .❤ ,for love will always claim its own .Your sorrow is based on ignorance .With knowledge you could be sure that the one you love ❤ is closer than ever he or she has been before .You could taste some of the joy that comes with appreciation of an understanding of spiritual reality . Do not mourn because a caterpillar has become a beauteous butterfly .Do not weep because the cage has been opened and the bird has been set free ! Rejoice and know that the enfranchisement soul has found liberty and that ,if you would but unfold the powers that the Great Spirit has given you,you could share some of the new beauty and joy which is theirs .You could understand the plan of death and realise that death s but a stepping stone,a door through which you enter into the larger freedom of realms of the spirit ...
Letting go of your family who have rejected you...? it already hurts from being let go of, actually from being alienated after so much love given... It is painful just as it is. I thought I let it all go, yet then I'll have a dream from a graceful acceptance..then I wake up, and it is the same as before. The dream felt beautiful, but today our separation remains the same. Yet, I feel changed. :)
I very much enjoyed this! Thank you, I don't hold on to anything of value and I could be very wealthy. I am smart enough, I use my knowledge to help others. The day money or material items define myself worth is the day I have lost my sense of self. I keep enough to make sure we can survive, I want for nothing because my inner peace gives me everything I need:) The saying money burns a hole in your pocket, it's true! I don't like it so I do things for others with it. Invest in memories, give homeless people money just get rid of it! Lol It sounds silly but, my needs are simple and the good Lord makes sure I am always ok. Therefore I know I need to be doing his work on the ground by caring for as many people as I can. It's a really good deal God and I have:) I give unconditionally and he in turn makes sure I am safe. Can't take money with you, it's the root of most evil. I enjoyed that immensely so I thank you:)
Nguyet To Le Anh Forgiving is the easy part ....forgetting is impossible and becomes the real challenge. Forgetting is the ghost that haunts you relentlessly and that is the problem. Learning to make peace with not being able to forget will help you live with the memories and eventually minimize their impact.

🙏🏼If there is a drop or some splashing from the glass of water 💦, I feel it’s so wonderful as the drop is Ours. It’s dropped , the way better to live together😃 . Let’s taste how’s wonderful things together.
Letting go=losing grip=refusing accountability. I find being indifferent could mean ignorance. There's an underlying sense of urgency, something if not looked deeply for...could hurt.
so much it can.. pleasure that in selfish i call them from drugs etc. Can and hurt us most likely everytime. I NEED to let go of my bad habits.. Pleasing oneself that makes u addicted and abuse it is like shooting urself in the foot...
@@tonycd2709 I don't like talk to anyone bc no one will understand my feeling. I don't blame him just hate myself not go enough to him and seeing someone better than me. Is hurt bc I truly love him. Hope he healthy and happy. I will pray for him everyday. But right now he don't care about me anymore is very sad. He mean alot to me. I can't see him anymore.
Sometimes a type of practice called flooding as in saturating yourself with an idea or practice is helpful. Listening to this lecture 3 or more times in a row or countering the thought "he doesn't care with" many people" will care about me soon.Saying it each and every time you have the thought is important. Saying something believable is important even if you don't believe it right now. Try to think of the mind as a computer what you put in you get coming out . Think of the negative thoughts as one of his cows he talks about that you can release. Good luck life is temporary no matter how long it seems. Someday you might regret the time you wasted on people who don't love you while standing next to you is someone who will. Have hope and optimism. That is what attracts people. Bless you and keep you.
Move on. If he doesn’t love u any more then don’t waist time to think about him My experience , I only love my self , my dog , my parents , my true friends
Then it is the dilemma of: Letting go = passive or no ambition What I understand he wants us to remove that particular status/position/gains which you decided consiously or subconsciously you won't be happy without. I don't think he is calling for modesty in terms of not having big ambition in life ? Any ideas
Letting go does not contradict having ambition. It is a letting go of that which causes sorrow and also the results of our ambitions. Of course we want sucess, but when we want it only for itself that can cause suffering. Practice your mission / your work with joy and don't be moved by succcess or failure. Except to know when it's time to let go as if it is not going to work but it becomes an obsession. So, that is my understanding. Good point. Not passive at all, letting go. Letting go is very active.
What it reminds me of is; not so much the act of possessing material but not letting material come to possess one. We will always need shelter, food, tools and furniture to facilitate our lives, what we don’t need is to never be satisfied and strive for more material, until we neglect things like; peace of mind, relationships and the short period we have in this world. In my country, there was a saying; “in the end, he who acquires the most toys, wins.” Until a counter maxim came about; “he who acquires the most toys, still dies.” We all need material, not materialism; it’s the fine line between a collector and a hoarder.
He’s saying let go of *everything* and *everyone* completely. Letting go means allowing the creative energy of the universe and of God, or Source, to flow through you. It means being an instrument for the Divine and being in harmony with all, in presence.
He break up with me I really can't let go I suffer this happens a year ago till now I still suffer... he promised me he will never live me alone but he live me Every time I miss him I just cry over and over... I cry and cut my hand over and over till bleeding but I don't even feel any pain... bc my heart is already bleeding.... sometimes I just think it is my bad karma.
When we read the story about the cows in a meditation group I sometimes attend, we laughed like this audience and thought we should all get t-shirts that said, "Release your cows!" However, that story always disturbs me. The monks and sitting in the forest relied for their sustenance on those willing to take on the burden of the cows and the crops and then share the results in generosity. This story is as bothersome to me as the "the poor you will have with you always" speech.
I understand your concern. It is true that monastics lived then in a society that would feed them (vegetables.) Now, monastics often grow their own food and offer retreats and teachings to raise money to support themselves. The point being made though is that possessions can cause us stress because we have to care for them and guard them. So, monks and nuns in Plum Village are allowed no personal possessions, only communal ones, except their robes. We think, when I have this or this, I will be happy. We can be happy now.
When you are happy there is no chasing involved. When you are happy and carefree All good things Will come to you naturally. Chasing happiness= strain, stress and struggle. Just saying :-)
I swear the very same people - one female and one male - are coughing througout every single one of his recordings. She is always doing some sneeze/ cough thing and he bursts out with a throat clearing cough which always sounds voluntary. I sit through three and four hour operas and not a single person coughs or sneezes. Ever. I’ve decided these two at his talks are professional coughers perhaps planted by a competing spiritual retreat company to ruin every dharma talk as well as making people wonder what is in the air at upper hamlet of plum village or happiness hill at deer park
Same deal with most of the lectures of Alan Watts. There's always some number of people constantly coughing for reasons I cannot understand. Drink some water or something ffs. Now that I think about it.. I suppose that during the time that Alan was lecturing (60's/70's?), the majority of society were heavy smokers - so I guess that explains some of it.
Zorel wood sure but its not that easy when you feel the bad energy in your whole body...its basically like being tortured... but you prob have never experienced this
impossible ateast for me. But being mindful of thoughts that can cause harm if turned into speech. Maybe some can stop brain thoughts. My brain thinks non stop.

Americans can't simply let go. We're in a perpetual state of conflict because of our belief systems. The harder we struggle, the more we break things. Our political system is broken. Our spiritual belief systems are beyond reach. Even Vietnam has fallen into the grasp and temptation of Western Capitalism. This world is moving towards a state where letting go will be impossible. This is because of our attachments to wealth and money. Even if we take away the money factor, we could never let go of our values that makes us who we are. Sorry, but most of us are trapped.
I feel your pain. I’ve found some hope in the work of attempts to create economic democracy through worker cooperatives (cooperation jackson is a great example). If we collectively own and control the places where we work we have a better chance of acting in the collective interest, and letting go of the false competitiveness with each other that the capitalist market produces. I’m a student of Thay and trying to do similar work in Australia. It’s challenging but very personally meaningful. Be well!
@E Coffey Best of luck to you and all the beautiful souls in Australia. America is crazy and may have past the point of no return decades ago. I guess we'll see if the great US will collapse or not come this November. I can't remember when this country was last well and by now I don't think Americans even think of ways to be well anymore. Everyone is in survival mode and living one day at a time. Take care and I hope the corruption of Americans never reach Australia.
@@supersquirrel7546 That sounds deeply troubling and challenging. I'm definitely aware of the crises in the US, and US politics does impact our public discourse in both good and bad ways, but not living there I am more detached from the 'feeling' on the ground. I hope you can find some people around you doing good to help you feel less isolated, and nurture the seeds that can help us in the future when the system as it is inevitably collapses.
Yes with a cause of compassion to erase the paen diverting the to the right right RIGHT? did you say sacrifice was the greatest gift to the world Right? Guess what I AM NOT RIGHT I AM center Center center
Ha ha ha. That was nice. Very educative. I love his videos. Please allow me to interrupt. I know it is rude but I feel it’s my duty to inform Buddhists of what I know. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama.
This man saved my sanity and thusly my life with this teaching. He's plain and simply a hero...
Me too! I agree. 🙏
Yes…me too.
Me too just to hear his voice heels you
🙏🙏🙏
I agree
he always explains ‘spiritual ‘ concepts in such a straightforward manner...he never tries to dazzle or complicate with his words. Such a great teacher
I am stuck in a job situation where I am purposely being isolated, gaslit, and excluded. Yet I stay because I fear letting go. This video popped up on my feed this evening. Thank you, this is the gem I needed to hear!!!
Rest in peace you beautiful wonderful teacher. ❤

I don’t regret the past but I’m sad that part of my life is over. This is my cow. Thinking about the past that is gone is very painful. Children grown and out of the house. All of family older. I am missing out on the present when I am sad. I pray that I can let go and accept life on life’s terms. Then there’s the future which I can be fearful about. Like losing my parents, we all die etc. Another cause of sadness which is painful. Past and future keep me from enjoying my life, the present moment. Letting go is very relevant and I loved this talk. I have to let my cows go. Love to all.
It will be hard to lose our parents. But we all will go through it.
Their spirits live forever. ❤
@@SolaDetox Thank you.
These are simple, yet powerful ideas, that allow us to change what can be changed and just flow naturally with life, without attachments (worries, expectations, desires) and unnecessary suffering. Thank you for these teachings! Om Shanti 🕉️☸️🙏
He teaches us that life is simple. We, with all our dramas, make it complicated.
Wise monk! Lovable monk! Spreads truth allover!
When I look around and see newspapers and watch some news items I feel most humans are living empty lives with the only purpose of gaining wealth and sense pleasure and trying to avoid suffering.Thay sensibly says that many people take refuge in shopping,watching films and going on holiday in order to heal the suffering..I think in order to live more freely I’ve found it necessary to look deeply into life and death and learn the art of suffering so we suffer less..I’ve been reading Thays books for 30 years and it has helped me transform many negative energies..I still have fear at times but when it arises I tried to hold it like Thay suggests and it does then have less impact..I like Thays words as they are non dogmatic too..thanks my friend

Complex idea of letting go is explained beautifully and made it a simple procedure. Thank you Respected Teacher.
Letting go is a wonderful practise that brings freedom, joy and peace. My attachments has caused me to suffer a lot. If we are honest with ourself, we might see our attachments that cause us to suffer. Letting go is hard many times, but u can do it! U deserve to suffer less. We all do! I still work on them. And i know for a fact its obstacles for my joy and happiness..
I hope u all have a great life with much joy and happiness!
We are all pretty much the same and are here with each other. Nobody deserve to overwhelm with suffering, my feeling is that such a person like this is very important for us right now.
He helped me to realise that my running towards objects of craving is a hinderance for my peace and happiness. Many of us suffer, as my self. This man learned me that suffering is not bad, cuz if u know how ot suffer. U suffer less..
I wish u all peace, joy and happiness and dont feel weak if u suffer. Without suffering u cannot know happiness.

Death cannot part you from the one you love .❤ ,for love will always claim its own .Your sorrow is based on ignorance .With knowledge you could be sure that the one you love ❤ is closer than ever he or she has been before .You could taste some of the joy that comes with appreciation of an understanding of spiritual reality . Do not mourn because a caterpillar has become a beauteous butterfly .Do not weep because the cage has been opened and the bird has been set free ! Rejoice and know that the enfranchisement soul has found liberty and that ,if you would but unfold the powers that the Great Spirit has given you,you could share some of the new beauty and joy which is theirs .You could understand the plan of death and realise that death s but a stepping stone,a door through which you enter into the larger freedom of realms of the spirit ...
Om mani padme hum may you reach the state of nirvana
This is really splendid and perfect ,, i love it ,, wowwww ,, i need it ,, thank you so much ,,
I’m trying to be happy at the moment
It’s stressful time now
Me too.
All the best
Letting go of your family who have rejected you...? it already hurts from being let go of, actually from being alienated after so much love given... It is painful just as it is. I thought I let it all go, yet then I'll have a dream from a graceful acceptance..then I wake up, and it is the same as before. The dream felt beautiful, but today our separation remains the same. Yet, I feel changed. :)
I very much enjoyed this! Thank you, I don't hold on to anything of value and I could be very wealthy. I am smart enough, I use my knowledge to help others. The day money or material items define myself worth is the day I have lost my sense of self. I keep enough to make sure we can survive, I want for nothing because my inner peace gives me everything I need:) The saying money burns a hole in your pocket, it's true! I don't like it so I do things for others with it. Invest in memories, give homeless people money just get rid of it! Lol It sounds silly but, my needs are simple and the good Lord makes sure I am always ok. Therefore I know I need to be doing his work on the ground by caring for as many people as I can. It's a really good deal God and I have:) I give unconditionally and he in turn makes sure I am safe. Can't take money with you, it's the root of most evil. I enjoyed that immensely so I thank you:)
This is my favorite of his:)
letting go means that forgiving and forgetting whatever makes me hurt.
Think a better feeling thought.... I am forgiving this matter a better feeling thought Kay La
Nguyet To Le Anh Forgiving is the easy part ....forgetting is impossible and becomes the real challenge. Forgetting is the ghost that haunts you relentlessly and that is the problem. Learning to make peace with not being able to forget will help you live with the memories and eventually minimize their impact.
But how do I do this
@@williamcarrillo6735 Exactly that is my question, too.
You got it right. Please allow me to interrupt. I know it is rude but I feel it’s my duty to inform Buddhists of what I know. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama.
Letting go means letting go through you...

I just wanted to impart this information to you. I have just videographed Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana temple. She is regarded the great grandmother of that are just as Buddha is regarded as grandfather (Baba).
This video made me let go so much that I fell asleep. In a public space.
Letting go means not placing too much importance of the self.

"Releasing your cows"
🙏🏼If there is a drop or some splashing from the glass of water 💦, I feel it’s so wonderful as the drop is Ours. It’s dropped , the way better to live together😃 . Let’s taste how’s wonderful things together.
Let go! BE FREE.
grazie Thay..
Lovely ❤❤❤❤
你越害怕失去的东西其实就是阻碍你得到快乐的东西 release the idea🌟🌟 U come here with empty hand, u got nothing to lose🌷🌷
Awesome! 🙏
♥️♥️♥️
Letting go=losing grip=refusing accountability. I find being indifferent could mean ignorance. There's an underlying sense of urgency, something if not looked deeply for...could hurt.
let the releasing of the cows begin!
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this video. It's helpful
💖
🙏
Desperado......these things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow
so much it can.. pleasure that in selfish i call them from drugs etc. Can and hurt us most likely everytime. I NEED to let go of my bad habits.. Pleasing oneself that makes u addicted and abuse it is like shooting urself in the foot...
🌼🙏🌷
The person @ 6:53 decided to let go of that sneeze lol
hahah XD
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm afraid every morning when I was wake up ... bc I didn't want to face another day...is hurt
I hope you’re feeling better. Talk to friends or whoever you can talk to. Don’t keep it inside. Take care...
@@tonycd2709 I don't like talk to anyone bc no one will understand my feeling. I don't blame him just hate myself not go enough to him and seeing someone better than me. Is hurt bc I truly love him. Hope he healthy and happy. I will pray for him everyday. But right now he don't care about me anymore is very sad. He mean alot to me. I can't see him anymore.
Sometimes a type of practice called flooding as in saturating yourself with an idea or practice is helpful. Listening to this lecture 3 or more times in a row or countering the thought "he doesn't care with" many people" will care about me soon.Saying it each and every time you have the thought is important. Saying something believable is important even if you don't believe it right now. Try to think of the mind as a computer what you put in you get coming out . Think of the negative thoughts as one of his cows he talks about that you can release. Good luck life is temporary no matter how long it seems. Someday you might regret the time you wasted on people who don't love you while standing next to you is someone who will. Have hope and optimism. That is what attracts people. Bless you and keep you.
@@sheriecooper4260 Thank you so much
Blessing you too
Move on. If he doesn’t love u any more then don’t waist time to think about him
My experience , I only love my self , my dog , my parents , my true friends
thank you very much
Where did the video of this talk go? I can't let it go. :)
karakamen TY. I love smiley
Haha, you kill me with this comment. :)))))
Letting go what is translated into Pali language ?
Then it is the dilemma of:
Letting go = passive or no ambition
What I understand he wants us to remove that particular status/position/gains which you decided consiously or subconsciously you won't be happy without.
I don't think he is calling for modesty in terms of not having big ambition in life ? Any ideas
Letting go does not contradict having ambition. It is a letting go of that which causes sorrow and also the results of our ambitions. Of course we want sucess, but when we want it only for itself that can cause suffering. Practice your mission / your work with joy and don't be moved by succcess or failure. Except to know when it's time to let go as if it is not going to work but it becomes an obsession. So, that is my understanding. Good point. Not passive at all, letting go. Letting go is very active.
What it reminds me of is; not so much the act of possessing material but not letting material come to possess one. We will always need shelter, food, tools and furniture to facilitate our lives, what we don’t need is to never be satisfied and strive for more material, until we neglect things like; peace of mind, relationships and the short period we have in this world. In my country, there was a saying; “in the end, he who acquires the most toys, wins.” Until a counter maxim came about; “he who acquires the most toys, still dies.” We all need material, not materialism; it’s the fine line between a collector and a hoarder.
He’s saying let go of *everything* and *everyone* completely. Letting go means allowing the creative energy of the universe and of God, or Source, to flow through you. It means being an instrument for the Divine and being in harmony with all, in presence.

Well said, that is a very nice way to put it ! Thanks for the insight.
@@zain4019

This is grief... it will go away on its own in time... time

When we read the story about the cows in a meditation group I sometimes attend, we laughed like this audience and thought we should all get t-shirts that said, "Release your cows!" However, that story always disturbs me. The monks and sitting in the forest relied for their sustenance on those willing to take on the burden of the cows and the crops and then share the results in generosity. This story is as bothersome to me as the "the poor you will have with you always" speech.
I understand your concern. It is true that monastics lived then in a society that would feed them (vegetables.) Now, monastics often grow their own food and offer retreats and teachings to raise money to support themselves. The point being made though is that possessions can cause us stress because we have to care for them and guard them. So, monks and nuns in Plum Village are allowed no personal possessions, only communal ones, except their robes. We think, when I have this or this, I will be happy. We can be happy now.
Live in a Buddhist country sometime. Monks have a very difficult job and they provide tremendous value to the community. They are far from vagrants.
I thought this when I heard the story, too. Now I'm thinking: maybe some feed the body, others feed the soul. 🤔 Thank you for sharing.
I thought exactly the same thing, but I get the point. But where is the compassion for the farmer?
Lisa Cottrell we can also be happy and abundant. It’s not mutually exclusive

I agree to an extent, but it makes me happy to chase happiness. :)
When you are happy there is no chasing involved. When you are happy and carefree All good things Will come to you naturally. Chasing happiness= strain, stress and struggle. Just saying :-)
@@elinmansson5535 Ha, so if I'm carefree while chasing happiness...

I swear the very same people - one female and one male - are coughing througout every single one of his recordings. She is always doing some sneeze/ cough thing and he bursts out with a throat clearing cough which always sounds voluntary. I sit through three and four hour operas and not a single person coughs or sneezes. Ever. I’ve decided these two at his talks are professional coughers perhaps planted by a competing spiritual retreat company to ruin every dharma talk as well as making people wonder what is in the air at upper hamlet of plum village or happiness hill at deer park
Same deal with most of the lectures of Alan Watts. There's always some number of people constantly coughing for reasons I cannot understand. Drink some water or something ffs. Now that I think about it.. I suppose that during the time that Alan was lecturing (60's/70's?), the majority of society were heavy smokers - so I guess that explains some of it.
Love only.
Letting go of material things is easy. But how to let go of psychological brain thoughts
Thoughts are visitors
Zorel wood sure but its not that easy when you feel the bad energy in your whole body...its basically like being tortured... but you prob have never experienced this
Took me 11 months from my first comment to now...with daily practice of awareness meditation to realise thoughts are not real.
impossible ateast for me. But being mindful of thoughts that can cause harm if turned into speech. Maybe some can stop brain thoughts. My brain thinks non stop.
Coughing sneezing 🤧 🤧 🤧 wth 🤦 🤦🏼♂️ 🤦🏽♀️

Americans can't simply let go. We're in a perpetual state of conflict because of our belief systems. The harder we struggle, the more we break things. Our political system is broken. Our spiritual belief systems are beyond reach. Even Vietnam has fallen into the grasp and temptation of Western Capitalism. This world is moving towards a state where letting go will be impossible. This is because of our attachments to wealth and money. Even if we take away the money factor, we could never let go of our values that makes us who we are. Sorry, but most of us are trapped.
I feel your pain. I’ve found some hope in the work of attempts to create economic democracy through worker cooperatives (cooperation jackson is a great example). If we collectively own and control the places where we work we have a better chance of acting in the collective interest, and letting go of the false competitiveness with each other that the capitalist market produces.
I’m a student of Thay and trying to do similar work in Australia. It’s challenging but very personally meaningful. Be well!
@E Coffey
Best of luck to you and all the beautiful souls in Australia. America is crazy and may have past the point of no return decades ago. I guess we'll see if the great US will collapse or not come this November. I can't remember when this country was last well and by now I don't think Americans even think of ways to be well anymore. Everyone is in survival mode and living one day at a time. Take care and I hope the corruption of Americans never reach Australia.
@@supersquirrel7546 That sounds deeply troubling and challenging. I'm definitely aware of the crises in the US, and US politics does impact our public discourse in both good and bad ways, but not living there I am more detached from the 'feeling' on the ground. I hope you can find some people around you doing good to help you feel less isolated, and nurture the seeds that can help us in the future when the system as it is inevitably collapses.
5:39 lol sorry. Thats not happening in just an hour haha
Yes with a cause of compassion to erase the paen diverting the to the right right RIGHT? did you say sacrifice was the greatest gift to the world Right? Guess what I AM NOT RIGHT I AM center Center center
