I am so grateful for this man. I met him personally some years prior to his stroke. He taught me the seed of unconditional love. Literally. I started listening to self help audios years prior when feeling so alone in deep suffering. He was the light amongst the dark walls I faced often times in life so when I finally met him you can imagine how excited I was to meet him. At plum village they had this 7 day (or so) ceremony and on the last day they had all of us get together for photos. They had me sit just infront of him. I couldn't believe I was so close. I had a regular camera. And the battery went red. My mom used to always take the batteres out and put it back in to get a little extra juice from the battery. So while everyone peacefully posed for a picture I was doing all I can to take the batteries out and put them back in while probably pouting out loud (because I so badly wanted a picture of my favorite person). I finally got the green light. I turned around and I immediately took a picture of him (he was just a few feet away), while realizing the flash went straight to his face. All of a sudden I was a bit embarrassed from invading his space. I didn't feel him looking at me in any judgmental way. He didn't look annoyed. He didn't appeared bothered by me. Nor did he look at me with disgust. He instead looked at me in the most fatherly, nurturing, kind, loving, accepting way. He smiled at me warmly from a place of such gentleness and compassion. He kissed his hand and then placed his hand slowly and lovingly to my forehead and just looked at me with pure kindness for the longest while. Time stopped. It was just love that flowed. I met an angel that day. He reminds us to find the angel within. Throughout. Beyond. All things. If it's hard to look at another with that kind of love, maybe it's best to start within. We are all going thru some much. Many of us have felt betrayed, hurt, violated, wronged, controlled, disrespected, unloved... as well as the guilt from thecerong we might have done to others (and to ourselves).. we all carry our own cages and our own strife. We also carry the light. This world carries within it heart and the lack of heart. The light and the darkness.. Within the trenches of darkness we also (when ready to) can find the light. Rest in peace Angel. You help me transform it all. Eventually. Oddly so, when we can sit within our biggest discomforts the colorful rainbow eventually emerges. One moment at a time.
Your sharing touched my heart so deeply. Thank you for sharing this most beautiful experience and insight. I am on my own journey after many years of stuffing my suffering inside and seeing so much darkness. I am afraid to face it but am trying to embrace it so I can be more at peace in my last years and to share the same. Much love to you.
So lovingly said.Thank you it was a beautiful insight into the man Thich Nhat Hanh.I send you heartfelt love and hope,because that is what he has given me and more hope and love all the wise thoughts he teaches.
Thay's mere voice, let alone his words, are like cool water to a parched throat. He restores my soul and I feel only love 🙏🏾. My cup and heart overflows. Thank you. 💜
@@margylees3489 if you go to the Plum Village website or maybe on their TH-cam channel as well, you can find the memorial service for him. It was really beautiful.
the Kingdom of God of which Jesus spoke of was not the Kingdom after life but vert much in the world with all its sufferings and brokenness. it is the Kingdom of the here and now. but Jesus promises his followers that He would never leave us or forsake us as we walk through the dark valley i the shadow of death Psalm 23
regarding suffering Jesus told his disciples Come to me all those who labor under your yoke, take my yoke for my burden is easy. He knew that man could not alone handle his burden. this is the great faith that a follower of Yeshua ha Mesiahiah has
You are truly blessed to have met & be touched by my angel & savior too!! Ive watched Plum Village many many times as i heal & learn more & more. This angel saved my life & allowed me to liok & find JOY EVERYDAY!!
The compassionate people are lonely also because they feel the pain of others. They feel and understanding the sufferings of others. They want to help people even they can'tor even it's hard to do.
Feeling lonely can be controlled to not feel that. My sufferings grew alot cuzi ran away from it all the time. Slowing down and avoid distractions so i face it to reduce and help others to suffer less so our society can benefit from it :)
It's so true... Suffering gives you understanding. Then you start studding about buddhism to get more understanding and way out of suffering. And then compassion arises. Poor folks.
Suffering doesn’t feel so deep when we follow the ways of the Buddha. When my own suffering is transformed I can feel others sufferings. And then I can help all beings. Then the pure land appears in the here and now.
He is a wonderful man, some great teachings, but what all the Buddhists fail to address is overwhelming feeling of anxiety and physical symptoms in the present moment. Not the future or the past, right now. I practice but I get no lasting benefits
The problem for many teachers is that they are under the cosh of the churches They are bound by the teachings of the church They don't have the freedom to show how to aliviate suffering in this way Unfortunately that is a reality for too many people
Quentin, thank you so much for putting this video up. This was wonderful teaching that I may have never had access to, otherwise. I would really love to hear a little more about the story of Kind Ba Dai. I hope you have and are able to put up a short clip on that. A di da phat.
Thank you for uploading these videos and sharing with us these great teachings that have enriched the knowledge I have gained and have helped to fill in the gaps
the Real Deal 🙏, can someone please raise the audio volume, he speaks with such a gentle quiet voice that's peaceful, but difficult to hear,🕯️ thank you 💜
This teaching confuses. Thay says that if there is no suffering then no compassion arises. How was Shakyamuni Buddha then able to realize the ultimate cessation of suffering in Samsara and become a non-returner? Did he eliminate his compassion too?
Perhaps if we understand 'ultimate' not in a static but in the sense of a continuous process, you can understand that the 'suffering to understanding to compassion to happiness path' is something that we do (we practice) all the time for every new, different situation. Not just a once-off practice. I also find it useful not to mix up the Teacher and the Teachings together. So often, so many stories have been made up of the Teachers' life (Buddha, Jesus etc) over so many generations that we could have any idea of their truth. But in the practices, we can see for ourselves if they truly work or not...teehee, I sure hope what I've said here hasn't confused things further! Better to practice than to talk:)
Suffering was overcome by the Buddha because he knew how to suffer less. For example, Shakiamani Buddha's foot was hurt when a boulder rolled into it at Vulture's Peak. He touched his foot to heal it, and one can surmise he would have felt compassion for the one who on purpose attacked him, not anger.
I understand it like this: if you don't even know what suffering is, you can't be compassionate. So, when you become a compassionate human being after you have suffered, compassion is "consequence" that lasts forever, even when suffering disappears.
If in kingdom of god theres is🎉 suffering, too,whats the diff😮erence between samsara and nirvana, and,why then striving for the kingdom of god at all.i wellcome any response, .........

He has some insight but totally disagree with his suffering theory . Yes we can choose to be happy and make life changes , but he also contradicts the fact that people can have mental illness and this can be the cause of their suffering . Yes compassion is from understanding , but no one can control the suffering just by been compassionate . Redicoulus to say without suffering there is no happiness
I also don’t know how I feel about the whole without sadness there is no happiness etc. Like we need the negative to see the positive always. Yes I believe we can gain understanding, and wisdom from dealing with suffering but I feel like I don’t need to have felt hunger to appreciate a good meal. I don’t need abuse to to know when I’m being treated well. And definitely can I feel happy without suffering first.
@@jenna8328 you didn't understand the message in reality our thaughts process is very complicated n so much unstable due lack of proper understanding of managing thaughts.thaughts are enourgy itself. So we need to make balance between these Energy that's why we practice meditation to heal and for proper conditioning of mind so it can work with its fullest yes it's also possible but without meditation then you have to make more effortts like in materialistic worlds.
Why do you see suffering as separate from life as supreme budhha told that the nature of joy and sorrow is impermanence they can't be stopped until one reaches Nirvana(enlightment) but by observing them from a distance and understanding them deeply they can be resolved and they can be made intergal part of one's life just like we very unintentionally manage to adjust season changes. Happiness and sorrow are incomplete without each other and they have no importance. I guess you have understood my point.

"if you know how to suffer, you suffer much less. and you know how to make use of your suffering to make understanding and compassion."
He was so brilliant... I am so sad he passed away. But his teachings are there with us forever
2022 hadn't realised he had passed 😢. He has a beautiful peace about him i will draw on his compassion more often now.

If you listen to his teachings & read his books you learn he never died, nobody dies.
Thay has never been born and has never died. He has continued. We are part of his his continuation.
Thays gentle voice is so calming. He has no egoic mannerisms when presenting his deep message
Perfect and balanced as the nature is
Even if he does, he loves himself regardless
Agree. No dogma and no pride or ego
the Kingdom of God of which Jesus spoke of was not the Kingdom after life but vert much in the world with all its sufferings and brokenness.
it is the Kingdom of the here and now.
but Jesus promises his followers that He would never leave us or forsake us as we walk through the dark valley i the shadow of death Psalm 23
regarding suffering Jesus told his disciples Come to me all those who labor under your yoke,
take my yoke for my burden is easy. He knew that man could not alone handle his burden.
this is the great faith that a follower of Yeshua ha Mesiahiah
has
He is pure gentle power. A master one can trust and follow his path indefinitely. Thank you Master Thay
His voice alone balances me out . Love this man
This is a practiced fraud, move slow, talk so soft no one can hear you, and never say a harsh word.
I find this very valuable in my healing journey.
There are countless insights that draw me back to this teaching over and over again. Namaste 🙏
Thank you,Thay today im alive and listening to your talks its because of your support and your way how to deal.🙏

Anybody who suffers will understand about compassion ❤.The more the suffering the more understanding about compassion

Meditation from Thint not han
And buddhha himself was teachings the extincion of suffering, how then thay insists on positive aspect on suffering.?
In all compassion I ask...why did that coughing person,.,, not leave the room. It is rude to keep barking over the speaker.
Oooq

I think he means without the contrast, if you were always in the same state, it would just be a state of blah.
