I practiced meditation from time to time, but it is always difficult for me to practice more than 3 minutes. Thay's guidance make meditation simple and enjoyable.
"Breathing in I smile, nothing is as important as my peace, my joy. I smile to everything. Even to my suffering, to my difficulties. Breathing out, I release and let go. This is a practice of freedom. Smile, release." #gratitude for #ThichNhatHanh
One of my favorite moments with Thay is hearing this teaching. Even though I only know him through recordings, he has helped me wonderfully much. So grateful to Plum Village. I make a very small monthly contribution but am so happy to support the Sangha.
Thich Nhat Hanh has passed to the other side. May he have a smooth passage. For me Thai was and is the most extraordinary person and teacher. His gentle soul and his humor, his wisdom, his vast knowledge and interests, his. poetic creative writing, his love and celebration of life, his devotion to humanity and nature, his deep political conviction and engagement grounded in his biography and ever present - all of this made him for me the most diverse teacher and human being. Thank you for what you gave us and are still giving to us. Dagmar🙏🏼 Namaste
I smile. Nothing is as important as my peace. I smile to my obesity I smile to my alcohol I smile to my youth I smile to my mothers passing I smile as this is my suffering. I smile to it. This is the practice of freedom. I am finally free.
I now understand that freedom. Is something I need to garner from this plane of existence. It's herein. Everything else is a model of self preservation
@@daves4687 Almost four months now Dave. Straight. The results have been transformational. Let me enumerate some of them: 1. Feeling at least 90% less anxious than before. 2. Also feeling more present, more vibrant, more alive throughtout my day to day activities. 3. Some oh Thich prompts resonste with me some days. For example, I constantly reming myself that "nothing is more important than my peace and joy", and that puts things in perspective. 4. Less toxic cravings in general. Because I feel more present, less need to go out to scavenge for toxic "highs". 5. Happier and satisfied than before. Paying way more attention to smaller things, and constantly feeling the impermanence of it all, and thus, what makes every moment special. This, specially, when hanging out with family. In conclusion, i've named my meditation habit my "mother habit", the only habit that cannot go if having a rough day. And this has made all the difference.
@@AlanDelmonte That's great to hear Alan. I've been meditating consistently for about 2 years and tried various meditations but this one has been a real discovery. Can see how the regular practice of it would bring about big changes, great to hear your experience. Have made it my goal to stay consistent for 4 months to judge for myself
Same here! I have started using this since I developed a temporarily incapacitating illness which has put all normal life on hold. It helps me tremendously. I’m so pleased it really resonates for others too. Exactly what you say Alan. I can imagine every day before 6am would be wonderful. I too always come back to those words “nothing is more important than my peace, my joy”. It is so true! I never ever imagined I’d get into meditation. Life changing and so wish to develop it more and be able to generate stillness and joy at Will, in particular stillness in tricky situations and turbulent emotions.
For years I told myself that I could never meditate because I have such an over active mind. I have Aspergers. Most of the time it feels like I have two inner monologues thinking of two separate things at the same time, always one being the louder primary thought and another become a quieter secondary thought. Shortly before Thay's passing I began to understand mediation and practice it more mindfully, but just barely. Within 24 hours of Thay's passing almost everything "clicked" entirely and I don't understand why. I practice mindfulness everyday and as often as I can. At work, on my couch, in the car, drinking tea. In the beginning I could only meditate for no longer than 3 to 5 minutes before getting frustrated and giving up. Now I find myself not wanting to leave my meditation and always looking forward to the next time I can sit and enjoy another peaceful moment. Thank you so much Thay and Plum Village for truly changing my life!
@@christinachristina8271 On average I only meditate for 30-45 minutes before bed. Sometimes I'll also do it in the morning for 20-30 minutes. Building a routine and sticking to it is important. It's definitely helped me balance my emotions out and process things better. Good luck to you. You can do it :)
'Nothing is as important as my peace...I smile to my suffering.' Thich Nhat Hanh Rest in Peace my friend. You have given me my proverbial air supply. I love you as much as a stranger who has benefited from your timeless teaching.
Today I sit and practice in honour of this wonderful man. Today I smile to all that he has done to alleviate my suffering and the suffering of others. I will always carry him with me in my heart ♥
If you are sad, you live in the past If you are worried, you are dealing with the future If you are at peace, you are living in the present Be at the moment, be at peace Still the Mind | Embrace Calmness | Inhale Peace ❤❤❤❤❤❤
True words. Although this simple realization has not removed my trips into the past and future during my journey the last few years, it has diminished the power of them and the route back to the present has become more and more easily accessible. There is always stillness to be found.
it´s amazing: saying "present moment, wonderful moment" to my headache and tinnitus and meaning every word of it, brought tears to my eyes and then the headache got less. never knew it could be that simple, I´ll do it more often, thank you, thank you thank you..
I had a tough and stressful day . I remembered what tich said ". Breathing in I smile . Nothing is as important as my peace, my joy . I smile though everything . Even through my suffering my difficulties . On my way home. I started to laugh . And felt much more peaceful . I could see how some people are quite funny . Like they are in the throes of a tantrum. If they don't get thier way .
I love when he said . I smile through everything . Nothing is more important than my peace. Even through suffering j smile. Someone annoyed me last week . And I was mad . All of a sudden I was smiling and felt great . And was able to wish them well .
Nothing is more important then your own peace! Once you have established your own peace you are extremely observant about who is around you at all times!
Dear friend, thanks for letting us know. We do not monetize this channel. We'll look into this and hope to fix the problem soon. Meanwhile you can find the meditation on the Plum Village App web.plumvillage.app/item/calm-ease-15-minutes With gratitude 🙏
I stumbled upon this meditation around two weeks before a surgery ( 7 th of oct) and I listened and meditated with it everyday. I wrote down the words on a paper and had it with me before the surgery...it was so beneficial and calming. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and your presence is still felt . Thank you ❤

I am so truly grateful that even though this great teacher has transitioned back into the ultimate reality, I can still have his teachings at hand when I need. Thank you teacher Ty.
I've been doing that meditation for almost 10 months by now and I'm amaze every time by the simplicity and the profoundness at the same time. Thank you
Dear Thich .- A real Master .- I will be always doing your great ❤ meditation .- That cure me ,when I was sick .- Thank you very much for your work in this world.-
I just started meditating 3 days ago, in the morning and evening, and in the proces learning to quiet down the thoughts. This guided meditation is really a big help and already giving me a different kind of piece of mind. Whenever I get a little stressed I think of this meditation and just breathe. It gets the edges off almost instantly. I am very greatfull.
Today started off very difficult as my dog was attacked by two larger dogs. All was well in the end, but my body and mind were very stressed and I used this meditation when I got to work and achieved calm. Thank you beloved teacher for holding me in this meditation.
I love his soothing voice! I’m going to do this meditation at least five times a week (in the morning) for a month and then share the results here :) Day 1: June 19, 2023.
Thich Nhat Hanh has left a wonderful legacy. His guided meditations and walking meditation instructions are clear, simple and powerful. God bless you, Thai.
Thank you, Thay, for the gentle profundity of the fruit of your diligence in practice. This life has been touched by yours, though we have never met. May your passage to the next life be smooth and clear. Your lighting the path for countless thousands shall not soon dim and fade.
Wonderful Thay 🙏🏻 🪷 Not used to a meditation without lots of talking but this one is real meditation! Just sitting without entertainment, quite a challenge - who knew! Thich Naht Hanh - even though you have died, your legacy of peace and joy lives on! 🙏🏻🪷
@@feelsokayman3959 bowing in gratitude is a pretty common and humbling gesture. it's not to elevate someone above you, its to express gratitude and respect. in my time doing jiu jitsu we would all bow before entering or leaving the mat. we would all shake hands and bow to each other at the beginning and the end of session - regardless of what belt you had (a black belt with 20 years experience would still bow to a white belt in their first session for example). and when i would visit a zen meditation center we would all bow before entering the room, and bow at the cushion before and after sitting on it.

My favourite meditation. I use it twice a day once to bring peace, relaxation and mindfulness to my day and once at night to send me into a deep peaceful slumber. For me this meditation is magic. Thank you 🙏
I do the same, except just every other day, in a very tough life situation he helps keep my practice focused so making it a deeper and more beautiful experience. Thankyou for your help and guidance teacher 🙏
Grateful 🙏🏼 Thank you Thay for sharing your kindness, compassion, wisdom and joy with the world. Your ripple effect will live on in your teachings and through each of us. 😌
The most powerful message of this meditation, and one that I keep coming back regularly to, is "nothing is more important than your peace, and your joy; smile, smile to everything, even to your difficulties". After several months of practice, this particular message is coming to me when I am feeling low, stressed, or anxious. It has become a powerful message that gets ingrained deeper and deeper the more i`ve practiced this particular meditation. Yesterday, for example, I was feeling angry about some work issue, and this message suddenly sprung up, and the anger vanished immediately. Practice it. Practice it every day. And you`ll soon be able to identify that peace and that joy that are always there, right beneath the surface, and more importantly, you`ll be able to become that peace, and become that joy, whenever you`re feeling out of sorts.
Yes thats what happened to me one work day . I was really angry . Then my mind showed me how idiotic and immature my supervisor was . And i started laughing . Another customer was rude to me . As i was coming i was also angry again . But i started to let go . I think ill start again . Im trying to have a religious life . And theres to many evil getting in the way and obstructing me .
I have been having inflammation, headaches and body pain, I have been using the calm - ease meditation to get relief. It works like charm....the gong really cuts through the clutter and leaves me stronger... so also the gradual narrative focusing on the essentials. Great!
This is one of the best guided meditations, which is simple but most impactful. Thank you so much Thay for showing us the path of peace, happiness and mindfulness 😇🙏❤️
He tought me to hang in there.... meditating in silence... going deep within... thanks for your work on recording all sessions and sharing. From the other side of the world. From Argentina. Thanks! Good journey.

Took me a while to realize I shouldn't try to say in my mind what he says Everytime I breathe. Yet it's more like an event that happens. Breathing in I realize my breath has become deep. Don't say it Everytime... I learned that in one of his other meditations. He said it like that. It's not to be said it is more like an event that happens each time. He says it in one of his walking meditation teachings. That changed this meditation for me from a 1/10 to a 10/10. A go to happiness meditation or release and enjoy meditation
Hi Mary Ann 🌞 I just saw your comment that you wrote it out-of really hope you dont mind me asking but there are a couple things he says I cant quite understand with the accent, I love the meditation but would love to know what he said, you wouldn't mind pasting them here? ❤🥰🧘♀️ thankyou 🙌
Hi, Megan. Here it is: Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in. Breathing out, I know I’m breathing out. In. Out. Breathing in, I notice that my in-breath has become deep. Breathing out, I notice that my out-breath has become slow. Deep. Slow. Enjoy. Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I ease everything. Calm. Ease. Breathing in, I smile. Nothing is as important as my peace, my joy. I smile to everything, even to my suffering and to my difficulties. Breathing out, I release. I let go. This is the practice of freedom. Smile. Release. Breathing in, I establish myself in the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment. Present moment. Wonderful moment. Enjoy.
Very true. I'm a very introverted person and when people see me working in the garden or with my bees they smile at me and want to talk. It really makes my day feel much better.
I've listened to many guided meditations but this one was particularly powerful for me... I had to create an entire new folder to save this now Essential meditation. Thank you ever Thay and Plum Village 🙏
Dear Thay, your teachings have brought me so much inner peace, thank you. I just meditated to this and towards the end I felt impatience crop up. Instead of getting irritated, I embraced the feeling, and felt the impatience feel 'shock' at the fact I'd embraced and hugged it instead of pushing it away. This made me laugh out loud for the last minute or so. Thank you, this was a wonderful breakthrough.
Meditation 2nd life for me. A simple act of awareness toward my breath .......it had changed me. When you have smile on face despite of all adversities of life. Call it a miracle or meditation. And then i realised ..y lord buddha has always smile on his face with closed eyes.😊
Love this, so simple and sweet, perfect length for me. The words stay with me through the day, returning me to the calm positive place his voice creates in my mind.
A very quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside. May all people, all species on this earth move towards compassion, live in harmony. In memory of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Really thankful for finding you guys. try to start somethings myself to help other people inspire. It`s in giving you receive and receiving you give...🙏❤
The best-guided mediation ever!!! I felt more at peace and present going to stick with it and do it every morning. Thank you universe for guiding me to this beautiful video 🙏🏽
I still miss you dear Thay during the new year celebrations. I came across a flower this morning and I say hi to you.Dear Thay, thank you for your beautifulteachings!
I practiced meditation from time to time, but it is always difficult for me to practice more than 3 minutes. Thay's guidance make meditation simple and enjoyable.
I practice it and calm all the way down when I'm working with my bees and the garden.
Try to practice for ten breaths ten times a day
Just continue following your breath, that “I can only practice 3 minutes thing is just a thought.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🙏💪 love from Arkansas.
Hi
that is when you should investigate that energy the most- the energy of impatience
"Breathing in I smile, nothing is as important as my peace, my joy.
I smile to everything.
Even to my suffering, to my difficulties.
Breathing out, I release and let go.
This is a practice of freedom.
Smile, release."

I didn't just hear this.... It permeated my whole being.
I felt it❤
Thich Nhat Hanh has passed to the other side. May he have a smooth passage. For me Thai was and is the most extraordinary person and teacher. His gentle soul and his humor, his wisdom, his vast knowledge and interests, his. poetic creative writing, his love and celebration of life, his devotion to humanity and nature, his deep political conviction and engagement grounded in his biography and ever present - all of this made him for me the most diverse teacher and human being.

Beautifully expressed ❤️🙏🏼❤️

I smile. Nothing is as important as my peace.
I smile to my obesity
I smile to my alcohol
I smile to my youth
I smile to my mothers passing
I smile as this is my suffering. I smile to it. This is the practice of freedom.
I am finally free.
I always searched for freedom in respected documents of antiquity
I now understand that freedom. Is something I need to garner from this plane of existence. It's herein. Everything else is a model of self preservation
What a great man
Thank you❤
60 straight days doing this meditation before 6am. It is POWERFUL.
You still doing this mate? What's your experiences?
@@daves4687 Almost four months now Dave. Straight. The results have been transformational.
Let me enumerate some of them:
1. Feeling at least 90% less anxious than before.
2. Also feeling more present, more vibrant, more alive throughtout my day to day activities.
3. Some oh Thich prompts resonste with me some days. For example, I constantly reming myself that "nothing is more important than my peace and joy", and that puts things in perspective.
4. Less toxic cravings in general. Because I feel more present, less need to go out to scavenge for toxic "highs".
5. Happier and satisfied than before. Paying way more attention to smaller things, and constantly feeling the impermanence of it all, and thus, what makes every moment special. This, specially, when hanging out with family.
In conclusion, i've named my meditation habit my "mother habit", the only habit that cannot go if having a rough day. And this has made all the difference.

Thanks for your wise words
Your comment made me calm and smile. I love these youtube comments. You understand you're not the only one having difficult times.
I resemble that remark
I've been that way many times, I've heard the best way to get your way is not to have one
The best way to get one's way is to be surrounded by those of a similar disposition. Accomplishment is most often predicated on the company one keeps.
I love when he said . I smile through everything . Nothing is more important than my peace. Even through suffering j smile. Someone annoyed me last week . And I was mad . All of a sudden I was smiling and felt great . And was able to wish them well .
Nothing is more important then your own peace! Once you have established your own peace you are extremely observant about who is around you at all times!

My favourite meditation. I use it twice a day once to bring peace, relaxation and mindfulness to my day and once at night to send me into a deep peaceful slumber. For me this meditation is magic. Thank you 🙏
thank you quiet dude
Ther peace comes through you, your practice. The speaker is just an amplifier.
I do the same, except just every other day, in a very tough life situation he helps keep my practice focused so making it a deeper and more beautiful experience. Thankyou for your help and guidance teacher 🙏
Grateful 🙏🏼 Thank you Thay for sharing your kindness, compassion, wisdom and joy with the world. Your ripple effect will live on in your teachings and through each of us. 😌
I have enjoyed this Meditation for a long time although today it was interrupted by 2 ads playing through it 🤷♀️ Defeats the purpose 🧘♀️
Dear friend, indeed. We do not monetize this channel. We'll look into this and hope to fix the problem soon. With gratitude 🙏
@@plumvillageapp Thank you so much 🙏🩵
The most powerful message of this meditation, and one that I keep coming back regularly to, is "nothing is more important than your peace, and your joy; smile, smile to everything, even to your difficulties". After several months of practice, this particular message is coming to me when I am feeling low, stressed, or anxious. It has become a powerful message that gets ingrained deeper and deeper the more i`ve practiced this particular meditation. Yesterday, for example, I was feeling angry about some work issue, and this message suddenly sprung up, and the anger vanished immediately. Practice it. Practice it every day. And you`ll soon be able to identify that peace and that joy that are always there, right beneath the surface, and more importantly, you`ll be able to become that peace, and become that joy, whenever you`re feeling out of sorts.
Yes thats what happened to me one work day . I was really angry . Then my mind showed me how idiotic and immature my supervisor was . And i started laughing . Another customer was rude to me . As i was coming i was also angry again . But i started to let go . I think ill start again . Im trying to have a religious life . And theres to many evil getting in the way and obstructing me .
I have been having inflammation, headaches and body pain, I have been using the calm - ease meditation to get relief. It works like charm....the gong really cuts through the clutter and leaves me stronger... so also the gradual narrative focusing on the essentials. Great!
RIP Thich Nhat Hanh ❤️ Thank you for teaching me to slow down.

This is one of the best guided meditations, which is simple but most impactful. Thank you so much Thay for showing us the path of peace, happiness and mindfulness 😇🙏❤️
He tought me to hang in there.... meditating in silence... going deep within... thanks for your work on recording all sessions and sharing. From the other side of the world. From Argentina. Thanks! Good journey.
It is as if Thay was here during my meditation. Of course Thay said there is no death. So grateful for all the teachings available.

Love, peace, kindness, joy and wisdom. Liberation from suffering. May it be so.
🌷Metta & Blessings to all whom mourn today for Thay's passing. We are grateful for his life and teaching. 🌷
Thank you Thay, my friend, my brother, my father, myself 🙏🏻❤ I love you
Love this meditation. It’s so simple just like I like my life to be.
Thank you
May he rest in divine peace 🙏🏻 Namaste
Took me a while to realize I shouldn't try to say in my mind what he says Everytime I breathe. Yet it's more like an event that happens. Breathing in I realize my breath has become deep. Don't say it Everytime...
I learned that in one of his other meditations. He said it like that. It's not to be said it is more like an event that happens each time. He says it in one of his walking meditation teachings.
That changed this meditation for me from a 1/10 to a 10/10. A go to happiness meditation or release and enjoy meditation
He was a true monk and aligned his actions with his values since he was also a vegan and a compassionate soul ❤ may he rest in peace
I practice this meditation every day, I adore him. Gives me so much peace and awareness. Thank you.
Thank you for this beautiful meditation with Thay, his lessons are here and now, within en all his students and monks. Thank you so much for this.
I love this meditation. Wrote it out and printed copies to give to my bodywork clients for de-stressing and feeling at ease in their bodies.
Hi Mary Ann 🌞 I just saw your comment that you wrote it out-of really hope you dont mind me asking but there are a couple things he says I cant quite understand with the accent, I love the meditation but would love to know what he said, you wouldn't mind pasting them here? ❤🥰🧘♀️ thankyou 🙌
Hi, Megan. Here it is:
Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in.
Breathing out, I know I’m breathing out.
In.
Out.
Breathing in, I notice that my in-breath has become deep.
Breathing out, I notice that my out-breath has become slow.
Deep.
Slow.
Enjoy.
Breathing in, I calm my body.
Breathing out, I ease everything.
Calm.
Ease.
Breathing in, I smile. Nothing is as important as my peace, my joy. I smile to everything, even to my suffering and to my difficulties.
Breathing out, I release. I let go. This is the practice of freedom.
Smile.
Release.
Breathing in, I establish myself in the present moment.
Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
Present moment.
Wonderful moment.
Enjoy.
Oh wow THANKYOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate your kindness,sending peace and love to you ❤🥰🤗

A beautiful and wise soul.Thank you for gracing us with your spirit and knowledge. 🙏
This is just so beautiful. The gong resonates and the words combine to make me feel so special. Thank you dear Teacher. I am so grateful.
This is most perfect, calming and peaceful meditation .... thank you so much ☀️
Yes, love the smiling even at suffering. A simple smile turns my day around.
Very true. I'm a very introverted person and when people see me working in the garden or with my bees they smile at me and want to talk. It really makes my day feel much better.
The best meditation ever! Thank you for this miracle! ☺️
Thank you for your teaching Thay your teaching's will always be with us keeping you alive in us and all around us🙏🦋🙏❄🌈🦋🙏

Dear Thay, your teachings have brought me so much inner peace, thank you. I just meditated to this and towards the end I felt impatience crop up. Instead of getting irritated, I embraced the feeling, and felt the impatience feel 'shock' at the fact I'd embraced and hugged it instead of pushing it away. This made me laugh out loud for the last minute or so. Thank you, this was a wonderful breakthrough.
Meditation from a beautiful soul. Thankyou Thich Nhat Hanh. Namaste
I feel his spirit as I take each step through the kingdom of god. Yes, yes, thank-you. RIP ❤️🌎
I just had an epiphany during this meditation: the present moment is still wonderful even if I don’t feel wonderful right now.
🙏🏼
Walking on I‘ll constantly stay in this deep breathing now until each sentient being learned to breath this lovingly and free 🙏
Meditation 2nd life for me.
A simple act of awareness toward my breath .......it had changed me. When you have smile on face despite of all adversities of life. Call it a miracle or meditation. And then i realised ..y lord buddha has always smile on his face with closed eyes.😊
Anumodana, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh, 🙏🙏🙏
Love this, so simple and sweet, perfect length for me. The words stay with me through the day, returning me to the calm positive place his voice creates in my mind.
A very quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside. May all people, all species on this earth move towards compassion, live in harmony. In memory of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Really thankful for finding you guys. try to start somethings myself to help other people inspire. It`s in giving you receive and receiving you give...🙏❤
Thankyou, dear Thich Nhat Hanh, for so skillfully soothing, relaxing this bodymind, bringing balance and peace through your brilliant guidance!
Thank you. This was so beautiful and helpful. My blood pressure is below 120/80 for the first time in a while.
In all it's simplicity so profound. This characterizes Thich Nhat Hanh so much for me. Instant peace...

In fact it's the ONLY moment.
But there's a word he says there I can never figure out, something like "I escovate myself in the present moment" what is it he's saying??
