Hi Peter 👋❤ Thank you for your insights & life in Thich Nhat Hahn's... What resonates with me more.he took it out into the streets when war was going on , took his monks & nuns out into the streets and showed them the true stuffing in the world , he made Buddhism simple to understand, & show us !! That Buddhism is for all, very zen in his teachings. Another great Buddhist teacher.. Thank you for introducing me to him🙏
There is one quote attributed to him that really registered with me. 'Enlightenment is when the wave realizes it is the ocean'. It opened a gate for me.
While much presented here is accurate, in the context of what Thich taught, it did not revolutionize Buddhism nor was it consistent with what the Buddha taught. Both of which are ok, just misstated here. The Buddha only taught one thing…the end of suffering. (Some might say two things, suffering and the end of suffering) while Thich’s teachings are undoubtedly beneficial what the narrator left out is that Thich’s teachings will not lead to enlightenment which was the Buddha’s sole purpose of teaching. But, the Buddha never turned anyone away. So, there are some things interpreted as being the, “the Buddha’s teaching” which were simply the guidance that a layperson needed at the moment. Like a brain surgeon getting a call from their niece asking what to do about her son’s sore throat. Being kind the surgeon would dispense some advice, but he was not teaching brain surgery. Thich was awesome, working much in alignment with Pure Land Buddhist ideals. But the narrator overstated his Buddhist influence and he understates what the Buddha actually taught.
I agree, but in that sense I find all branches of Buddhism flawed. It is teaching to be independent from attachment, while creating and withholding a huge attachment. That of community. There are rules in place which are in no way in line with what Buddha taught. The same rules which made a lot of Buddhism reject Thich. Anyone can reach enlightenment, regardless of what’s been done. Since it’s in us all(or rather the opposite, since “we” are only not enlightened because of the belief there is a “we” or self). Buddhas teachings isn’t necessary at all, but they’re helpful to get to the path where you can realize that they’re not necessary
They are called bhikkhuni. If your asking why there aren't more I guess you'd have to ask women that do not want to be monks. Why they do not want to be monks.
I find it interesting that your email name is ''schadenfreude '(for not german speaking person - this word means 'being happy that somebody has a experienced something bad) - i don't think 'schadenfreude' is part of Buddhism
Soul is not required for Rebirth to happen as it is considered in other traditions. The Mental continuum existing from the time endless ceases to exist in one body and reappears in another body.
In my opinion, this video gives too much credit to Thich Nhat Hanh. Other people, practicitioners like Jack Kornfield, have also made Buddhism accessible to people in the west. Thich Nhat Hanh may have worked spectacularly within his own country and culture to bring Buddhism to the average person, and this work deserves credit, but he is hardly the only person responsible for Buddhism's rise in the west. If I have misinterpreted the thrust of the video, I apologize, but I think it should give credit to several other people for doing the same work that he did.
Jack cornfield sucks. He’s a culturally appropriating racist white man who takes credit for thousands of years of ancient wisdom produced by Asian Buddhist. Also, your comment is in poor taste. This video is dedicated to take not hon. Not somebody named Cornfield who books, self-centered and simplistic. Maybe you’re one of these white people who just can’t digest anything unless it’s filtered through some white man’s or white woman’s tongue. Either way, comment is an extremely poor taste. And disrespectful, racist, and ignorant.
Compared to our National Hero the Venerable Thích Quảng Đức who Self-Immolate himself, this Rebel Monk Nhất Hạnh hardly transformed Buddhism. Many of us in Vietnam aspire to be like Venerable Quảng Đức to one day have the courage to Self-Immolate ourselves.🙂
But Buddha said torturing oneself through self immolation is asceticism and is not the right way and leads to torturing of the body. Hurting one’s body is not good.

Thank you for introducing me to him🙏
Who is calling him a rebel monk? Who's crappy perversive youtube clickbait ideas is he rebelling against?
There is one quote attributed to him that really registered with me. 'Enlightenment is when the wave realizes it is the ocean'. It opened a gate for me.
A radiant human being.

Barriers are a great way to teach non barriers

Respected Sir, Can you please make a vedio on Jiddu Krishnamurti whom I have found many similarities with the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha
I wish Krishnamurti was required curriculum in all k-12 education. He’s too unknown and too profound
@Wperk totally agree with you
Quick question: why are there no female monks? Although we can still learn and practice , sometimes it's harder to relate when we are excluded. Why?
They are called bhikkhuni. If your asking why there aren't more I guess you'd have to ask women that do not want to be monks. Why they do not want to be monks.
You can become a nun in the tradition of Thigh Nhat Hanh. In Plum village in France there are more nuns than monks
I find it interesting that your email name is ''schadenfreude '(for not german speaking person - this word means 'being happy that somebody has a experienced something bad) - i don't think 'schadenfreude' is part of Buddhism
Freudenfreude more like! 😊🙏
There is no further existence after death according to Buddhism, no soul. So what does it matter?
Soul is not required for Rebirth to happen as it is considered in other traditions. The Mental continuum existing from the time endless ceases to exist in one body and reappears in another body.

why feel the need to diminish hanh by comparing them both? they both had an amazing contribution.
But Buddha said torturing oneself through self immolation is asceticism and is not the right way and leads to torturing of the body. Hurting one’s body is not good.
