The Power of Cutting Off & Letting Go | Br Phap Dung | 29 July 2018

- Letting go is not about suppressing or denying our experiences, but rather acknowledging and accepting them with compassion and understanding. By embracing impermanence and non-attachment, we can free ourselves from the burden of past regrets and future worries, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and freedom in the present moment.
Brother Phap Dung, a senior monastic in the Plum Village Zen Tradition, explores these concepts further in this talk, providing guidance on how to cultivate the power of cutting off and letting go in our daily lives, and how it can contribute to our overall well-being and inner peace.

In short then, we're taught growing up with the wrong idea that freedom is all about "doing what you want to do (to go after cravings, view, relationship) by gaining more power/wealth, " but true freedom comes from getting rid of these attachments in life. The freer you get, the more inner peace and true happiness one will attain.
Well summarized! ❤️
Yes, and it's rather obvious one would think. The more you believe that you need to have more more things, experiences ect. to be fulfilled the less you are or can be happy in that moment you are craving these things. This never stops because nothing can give you that everlasting happiness that you actually want. On the other hand the less you believe that outer things can give you that fulfillment the less you are compelled to satisfy your compulsory cravings, the more freedom and therefore the more happiness you'll experience. 😘
Just do what feels right to you... because ultimately you only know what you perceive. So another person's ideas are actually you perceiving them. Don't forget without you, you wouldn't even know.
so true because freedom is being your true self, the ultimate, in touch with the ethereal dimension inside of you, the transcendent dimension, everything real and all!!! Keep going, everything we want and need and dream of is inside of us!!!!! It is possible!!! And then everything changes!!!!! All suffering turns into enlightment which was nothing more than the way to the ultimate healing and transcendence od our suffering!!! THe best is yet to come and then you will bless your suffering because it took you to the ulitmate dimension, the ultimate freedom, bliss, happiness and love!!!! Everything good and wonderfull is inside of us. Forward!!! ALl will be dissolved and healed and turned into light and goodness and love and the real!!!!!! Yaya!! WLecome to the truth!!!

I clean during the day at my job for 4 hours straight and I Love It !! I meditate and listen to many Spiritual Teachers. It's such a peaceful and gratifying time. God Bless Everyone on your Truth of Awakening..💐🌞🌈
@ Teresa Deagle how beautiful to be of service to your self and your soul whilst serving others to live. Thank you for your divinity in that 🥰♥️
@Teresa Deagle just hearing how you spend your day days inspires and somehow helps me to relax vicariously. 🙏 Namaste
Awesome! I am a professional cleaner too and so grateful to have the time to feed my mind with podcasts on any subject I like while I'm at work as well as be active with my body - it just works so well :)
Very true ,there is so much knowledge in our scriptures ,one life is enough to experience it🙏
@Teresa Deagle
Can you come and practice for four hours in my house please?
wow the idea of being at peace with your suffering is so calming so freeing.

Beautiful!
And what I find most beautiful is the tone of his voice. It makes me never want to yell again. It's the realization that yelling is senseless. It just shatters your internal peace.
Same!
🙏🏽
Unless they are far away and you have to 😆
Yes this is so true. When I was a teen I was very angry at the world and would tell because I felt like people only listened when I yelled. However in the past year I've realized that 1. I was talking to the wrong people and 2. I was stressing myself out and moving further and further away from the happiness I deserve. I haven't yelled or argued with anyone in over a year lml.
OMG, if only they teach mindfulness in schools and work places...beautiful lecture
I agree %100❤❤❤
Really hope so. Then our world will be changed to a completely better place.
@@welcometoforest1508 we have come a long way, but there is so much more to do.
How about with all due respect, parents teach this to the kids? Teachers, leave them to teach academics. Don’t we ask too much from teachers, and not enough from the politicians who create laws to make our lives difficult?
I agree with previous comment. If they teach Buddhism then they can also teach Christianity, Islam, etc. Perhaps all wonderful things to teach but not in public schools.
Was just about to wash dishes when this talk caught my eye. I hope my attitude toward dish washing is forever changed thanks to this heaven sent talk!
How did it change?
its his new hobby now
Mine too.

Excellent.
On letting go: "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." ~ Janis Joplin
YES
Yes. Sometimes we have to let go of people, things, thoughts and behavior that take away our peace and freedom.
Love that song!
Feeling good was good enough for me..🎶
Lol, tell that to a slave, hippy.
“The tree just has to be a tree”
Simply beautiful 🤩
Love the part where he says “lucky I don’t have any money. I don’t have a credit card. I’m protected.” Such an important message for ourselves and younger generations 🙏
That would mean homeless for the rest of us.
I was in the process of washing dishes as he spoke of washing dishes. Made me smile inside.
Same here. Washing dishes and making morning coffee. Slowed me down and I actually had fun looking at coffee drip by drip, relaxing.
🥰
I was in the middle of eating dark chocolate when he mentioned chocolate. lol
I travelled a lot as a child, I know how to let go and cut off, holding on is more difficult for me.
Could you share how do you let go? Thanks
Dear Chi Quita, you could maybe see holding on as an act of letting go of cutting off. Does it make any sense? There is probably something that scares you in attachment. I have caused my share of cutting off and it was the fear of being cut off. The outopia was “I felt I was in control of the situation” by deciding to be the first to put an end to things.
I get you
Letting Go - 'Calmness, freedom, peace in the face of suffering.'
Then you end up with nothing. This is not rocket science - we learn that in life nothing is given, you have to EARN it & it won't be easy for the good things in life because everyone wants them and so there is competition. If competing is too tough for you, then you give up, you get peace but understand then that all you have done is give up
@@ramaraksha01 this was a depressing reply that I wish I did not come across
@@KT-pw1cq It is not that complicated
Life teaches us that every choice comes with benefits and costs
In life we know nothing is GIVEN - whether you want that Gold medal in the Olympics, get rich, be the next Einstein, Mozart - they ALL Come with lots of hard work, sacrifice, endless days of tears and disappointments, dealing with setbacks, falling down again & again but getting up again & again
This is the cost we must bear to make our dreams come true
The weak, the lazy give up & others are after peace & joy - give up all that & now we have plenty of time, no more hard work, no more sacrifices - we are happy! Yes but those dreams will die now
At a certain advanced age, we may look at those who made it and say "I could have done that, I had more talent"
We may have the ability to be the next Einstein, the next Mozart, the next great one, but we will never know - that is the cost for those who gave up
@@ramaraksha01 well some things in life you simply don’t have control of. For example, other human beings. You can’t make someone marry you, you can’t make your family get along with you.. etc.. I think a lot of people take things for granted because it’s the norm to have those things.. but reality is.. some people only have themselves.. no one else.. and they have no control over that.. so it’s not about “giving up” as long as you’re not dead.. you haven’t given up.
@@KT-pw1cq Yes nothing is GIVEN - you can work hard, sacrifice, deal with heartache daily but it does not mean all that will pay off - Vincent Van Gogh didn't sell even ONE painting in his lifetime - he killed himself finally!
What if he had given up? Never attempted to chase his dreams? never took up painting?
Would he have lived a long happy life?
sure!
But then we would never know who he was
That is the problem with this - desires, aspirations come with costs - to be a God one must walk thru fire!
If you don't have the stomach for it, fine, then you exist - you live, you die, even your own loved ones will forget you a few years after your death
But if you want to live forever, then there is a cost
You have to ask yourself - what is your goal? If it is peace, joy & happiness, then give up your dreams, aspirations - isn't that what the Buddha advised?
But if you want to chase your dreams, aspirations, then understand that pain & suffering is your constant companion
Our children should be getting this type of education .
I live in Karachi Pakistan I like your comments send 4 month ago
Trees are interacting in the woods, too. They send informations to other trees. Did you know that? Very interesting subject. Thanks for the Video. 🌳🌲
So are the mushrooms!
And also the forest is the most organized thing on this planet.
He's a true master just by being able to teach among crying children. I had to use mindfulness to get thru that.
Very interesting and insightful talk! Peaceful too!
Yes, that was tricky for me as well. But, why do parents bring little children to a lecture.
I struggled with his " mm"...the energies are revolting inside.
Right? I'm really struggling to listen. It's wild to me that anyone would even take their young kids to a lecture like that in the first place, let alone continue to stay even when they're loudly acting up and distracting everyone else there.

Beautiful.
I’m practicing breathing through and trusting the moment , because sometimes when I’m around people I have social anxiety. My anxiety makes me want to run. I’m learning to *stay* ,and stay present 🙏 - also going to wash the dishes for enjoyment as he mentioned
Rachel M. -- All power to those moments. I will have to try to do the same. My mind skitters away to the future and rotten fears. I try daily to let go ... I fail every day. Hugs from Canada.
This is so funny because i actually have felt like cleaning a litterbox is no different from a fancy zen garden lol
You're not alone. I'm practicing remaining in the present moment and reminding myself that this experience is illusory so not to take it seriously.

I'm encouraged to write this article for most of the human race. The human race as I know it, doesn't know their own power and how great that power is and for sure they don't know how to use this loving power, while temporally living on Earth.
As love is the fuel for power.
I'm encouraged to write this article for most of the human race, because I know that most Humans don't know their own perfection.
This article, I hope, will teach as many as possible to use their power to create a better and happier life while they
live here on Earth.
Truth is the fuel for happiness.
It is not hard to understand what I say. However, it is very hard to believe it. For those that do, their lives will change as God's truth is the fuel for Happiness.
When people believe in their perfection, their truth, long enough, they will totally neutralize Earth's illusions that have played on their thinking, thus compromising their creations. That will end. Again truth is the fuel for Happiness.
When humans understand their (role) mission on earth, dealing with life here on earth, their lives will become easier.
Know, when you understand Earth fully, you then believe in something and against nothing.
My words (Gerald Albert) are easy to understand and some, very hard to believe. But that is normal.
Earth is easier and easier to understand as we move to the truth of life. This article my help.
New insight to thinking. This can be fun.
I'll e-mail it to you -- go to -- geraldalbert@roadrunner.com
Beautiful quote...thanks
Thanks.
Good quote
He keeps talking about washing dishes. Mine need to be done and almost stopped the video a couple of times to do dishes! Haha just being funny 😂. In all seriousness this is a great video! Thank you!
A am a Franciscan Brother, and recently I have read a book by Fr. Daniel Horan "The Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton". I mention that to say that a core teaching of Thomas Merton was on "True Self/False Self", Because of how deeply this growing understanding has impacted my life I have been mindful of all the ways that gifts are revealing themselves to help with inner clarity in this regard. This beautiful Dharma Talk by Br. Phap Dung leaves me with a rejoicing heart because while it might seem that I just sort of "stumbled upon it", I recognize it as a gift today ... a widening and deepening of the inner stream of life that I pray will continue to flow out into the world around me ... just as the tree that Br. Phap Dung has used in his illustration. Deepest gratitude to you for this gift!!
Read through some of the negative comments...this message has come to me at the right time..if you don't get anything from it just let it go...we all have the freedom to make our own choices in life...no one is forcing us to believe anything..we make choices as adults..
This is one of the best Buddhist lectures I have ever watched. I learned a great deal. Thank you very much!! :) Love from Canada.
Buddha stated desire is the beginning of all suffering. Get it? There is a time and place for all things. I meditate, if that's the word, during most activities like cleaning, installing shelves in my shed, playing the piano, reading, shaving - the whole kit and kaboodle. Washing dishes - a job I have had many times over the decades (very minimum wage) - offered moments of Zen for me and time to consider the many things going on in my life at those various times. And the possibilities of the future in which I am presently living. My faith is in God and my trust is in Christ. The flavor of Eastern philosophy is an additional spice to the richness of the meal God prepared for me. There is no contradiction in truth. I like this guy.
I am currently learning more about Buddhism and decided to do so because a lot of the teachings align with what I already believe. My main struggle is learning to be compassionate towards mankind so I love listening to these talks. I am eternally grateful and I will be starting my travels next year so I can't wait to meet like minded people.
.. interesting story about the cups. As young kids growing up in NYC -
my mom got us cute sippy cups. Unfortunately - we kids got into an argument over the cups, and my dad happened to come into the room .
Guess what ?
He took away all the cups & put them in the trash. Then he bought a set of boring all the same cups - ‘ nothing to fight over now’ he says.
My dad was raised by Buddhist monks.
Although he left the monastery, he took the training with him.
And I was raised the same way..
Hey you! You tube bringing me true guidance today and I recognized you from the Spartans so I just thought I'd say hi. But I have to work now so I can't watch this til.later. Chance to practice ...

'Can we just be humans?'. So deep.
We are human, un an individual way, but also we are part of a big beeing in connection with everything that there is around us. So de are human, but also we are the tree, the flower, the river, the wind, the stone...only if we comprehend that we can understand the real mean of who we are, what we are, where, how, when , how, why we are.

The name of Amitabha Buddha is immeasurable and boundless, inconceivable, profound and mysterious, wonderful, and unsurpassed. If you recite the name of Amitabha Buddha wholeheartedly, all the merits and virtues are contained in it. The two benefits of the dark and yang, the protection of the world and the cessation of disasters, the merits and benefits of the "Three Seasons"! The relatives of the Yangshang family came to participate in this dharma meeting, and persuaded the dead to believe and wish to recite the Buddha's name to live in the Western Pure Land! so important.
May the world be peaceful, the country is prosperous, the people are safe, the weather is good, the common cause of this generation, the disaster will be eliminated, and we also pray that this sword calamity , WAR can reduce the damage, peace, happiness, and good luck. Namo Amitabha 🙏🙏🙏
阿弥陀佛名号，无量无边，不可思议，深奥秘，妙妙，无上。一心念阿弥陀佛名号，一切功德都在其中。冥陽兩利，護世息災，《三時繫念》的功德利益！陽上家親眷屬來參加這個法會，勸導亡靈信願念佛求生西方淨土！太重要了.
愿天下太平，國泰民安，風調雨順，這一世代人的共業，災難消除、我們也祈禱這場刀兵劫能減輕傷害，平安、幸福、吉祥。南无阿弥陀佛🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, dear Br. Phap Dung. This day isn't over yet for me. I vow to practice letting go and cutting through affliction in order to practice freedom for the rest of this day.
Without pain & suffering, we stop Caring
I like how he mindfully clean the white board before he writes anew. So calm and full of thoughts.
Looking at mental illness (OCD, ADHD, obsession) in the terms of a craving is fascinating. A mental craving that a person must practice to let go. It puts the power back in the hands of the people and out of the hands of drug companies. Amazing
Actually OCD and ADHD are not a wild mind that needs taming because it craves too much it is a mind that cannot find the response chemicals for a certain action therefore the mind is starved even though it's doing something physically so it's not about the mind with a sweet tooth it's about a mind that doesn't know there's food metaphorically speaking

Thank you..this open my eyes..cutting off my past that doesnt serve me will give me true freedom...my compassion was keeping me/holding me stuck...I have to let him go to set myself free....🙏🙏🙏
Notice how calm he is. Even with babies crying he continues. Showing us how to be free and calm. Showing us what he is teaching us in real time. What a great video
This is soft and gentle reminder for specially you....
Know that sufferings and pain is part of your life.
You are not alone at all.
But God has given you the superpower to heal yourself.
You can change you situation which is bothering you with the help of God.
God is within you.
He is ready to help you.
He sending unshakable support and love to you.
Just open your Heart & invite God in your heart space / chakra.
He will take away all your pain.
Believe in your superpowers...
I'm sending you a lots of healing light and unconditional love....
The perfect said ...at 35:10👍if we really let go...we can visit our relatives.....give time to them.....this will certainly bring a smile on their face and ours too 🙂.
times are getting darker and darker, God is not pleased with the ppl in the world yet he extends his mercy on us and he is long suffering , pray without ceasing , ppl don't pay attention to the spirtual realm, things are moving quickly in the spirit realm, we have to keep our eyes open and give our time to God DAILY because it is a blessing to wake up. God bless everyone , Jesus saves, he loves you today, call out to him now ..i pray for peace, protection, and love to everyone who sees this!💕 God have mercy on us.
Thank you Brother Phap Dung 🙏🏾 I had asked you for guidance about this in 2013 and the words you shared with me, about sometimes needing to cut the plant at the root for it to regrow, changed my life and brought me so much peace since then.
I laughed inside when you said at one point that you wished you hadn't met Thay! Thank you.
I had to laugh too. Insight always makes it harder to carelessly keep doing the "same old" - but that's the blessing too, of course. What is our true aspiration.
To have such peace in your daily life... ❤
The tree explanation is very helpful. What you feed the seeds grows into the tree. It can be bad or good. If we allow bad to feed seeds then we grow bad leaves and it reflects actions. We have to remind ourselves to feed our minds and actions with good and transform and replace dark with light.
I’m very thankful of Thay and Brother Phap.
Peace. Your vibration is just that; peace🙏🏻
What a beautiful & kind teacher 🌱🧘🏻♀️⛲️
The tree just has to be a tree. It does not have to be more than a tree. Can we just be human.. to be just how we are where we are... These are reflections so deep. Thank you for the wonderful session. 🙏
Without Pain or Suffering, we stop Caring
I’m almost halfway through this video. The “cutting off” part with regards to parenting reminds me of a Hindu teaching I learned in a book about the teachings published around India’s year of independence. With regards to human relations-including family-this author spoke of some level of “detachment”. If one becomes too attached to loved ones in their life, relationships that should produce joy produce misery, thus, as in “deparenting”, some level of detachment is necessary for harmony for all involved. Back to video, thank you for your teaching.

@@samxsara just seen your channel. Neville Goddard's teachings are a watered down version of those of Gurdjieff, and especially his interpreter, Maurice Nicoll. Goddard admitted to this. But never credited either during his talks!! Much love, Noel

The highest wisdom lies in letting go:
Let go of my ego
Because ego is the enemy.
The death of the ego is the awaken of the soul.
Death is a great opportunity to be no I-
To be nothing,
Not to be.
I resonate with this. Kill the ego, get into higher self and practice unconditional love. This world will be in peace.
Thank you for the reminder for us to be kind to ourselves and to realise it's not only just suffering that we have but there are also things that we can be grateful for. 🙏

I stumbled upon this suggestion in my Home feed at 04:30 this morning. It is always interesting and reassuring to me how the Dharma confronts you with what you need at the very time you need it if you will let it.
This is so helpful even after repeated mistakes, I still search for answers. I want to get better and grow. I’m so ashamed and guilty of my past. I’m afraid of the future and I’m so anxious and I fear I can’t get my freedom. I just want to be free. It’s so hard. This video helps me. It’s just so hard but Thay and Brother Phap helps.
Everyone's voice is energy.
Br Phap Dung's voice is very peaceful.
Good (positive) energy.
Mindfulness: awareness of sights and sounds I allow to come to me.
Compassion, wisdom, freedom. I love this idea.

For a beginner, it’s true that initially you started with letting go all the unnecessary things in your life, which is quite a lot, if you examine it carefully. But you don’t just “cut off” attachments, most of us are not monks, we live in this world and have many obligations to it. Many others are not Buddhist either, they don’t have the basic foundation built to embark on the path. It’s kind of like going to war, you don’t just go “ ok, there’s a war here, it’s bad so let’s go fight”. Without proper understanding and training or combat experience, you’ll just going to die. When he was still living teaching the Dharma, The Buddha emphasized on “skillful means” when it comes to helping people, different individual with unique problems required different solutions. Familiarize yourself with the Eight Fold Paths, learn basic dharma directly for yourself.
I find his way of speaking so calming. Very nice talk.
Love his respect for all belief.
Excellent teaching. Wisdom. Compassion. Freedom.
Every time a child cries, he seems to be least affected. Continues talking without getting disturbed.
I know, it was a lesson for me.
He is mindful to ear-consciousness, meaning he knows when a sounds arises that it is a sound. Whereas others that not mindful the sound of a crying child does not reach the conscious level of our perception but goes straight to our conditioned emotional programs where it triggers a habituated response. Mindfulness means becoming aware of this process and therefore becoming able to choose wether to react or not if no reaction is necessary or helpful. 😘
@@edzardpiltz6348 you explain that really well do you have anything else for me teacher?
It's a family retreat where parents can participate and so not have to stay home with the kids. Like the monk explained, it's also good for the monks to be around children. It's all inclusive, nothing rejected. Thats called compassion. He explains it all very well in the beginning.
@@edzardpiltz6348 it's not an emotional response. Loud noises HURT. Stop making everything out to be emotional.
Bless you brother Phap Dung. we need this everywhere right now and you delivered it with so much love.
Starting from last year, i learned about spiritual, and i am suprised to know that the happiness that we learn from world is up side down with the actual happiness.. How can they create such illusion happiness.. It is genius
感恩慈悲分享。🙏南無阿彌陀佛🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much for making the effort to place all of these video online.ia great help in understanding the Dharma. Thank you for your compassion and knowledge.
法布施，財布施，無畏布施，功德無量，福報豐厚，積累功德！菩薩畏因 眾生畏果🙏🙏🙏積善之家必有餘慶，人生一世中最重要就是行善修德, 積口德, 所為之事.無愧於心. 內心和善慈心.光明磊落!
福報是修來的，今生不修待何時。感恩阿彌陀佛
有好报, 好因定有好果种瓜得瓜"、"善有善报"、"积极进取"、相信人的命运非由天注定，人们可以掌握自己的未来，改造自己的命运。
無論是求財、求福還是治病，放生是最有效的方法.
如果是佛弟子求解脫，放生時，將功德回向給法界眾生。如果是俗人求財，可將功德回向給自己的事業。如果家有病人，將功德回向給病人。都會有很好的效果。
放生一定要如理如法，科學放生
即以此功德，莊嚴佛淨土。上報四重恩，下救三道苦。
惟願見聞者，悉發菩提心。在世富貴全，往生極樂國。
請常念南無阿彌陀佛，一切重罪悉解脫！南无阿弥陀佛
Constantly chant : Namo Amitabha, Repentance and Dedication of Merit.
To help others is to help yourself.
感恩福報。
Very insighful . Thankyou so much Br. Phap Dung . This shlould be taught at the higher secondary level to all .🙏
Practicing mindful during your tasks!! WHOA! That is EVERYTHING!! This is life changing in that alone! THANK YOU ✌️❣️
My name is Michelle and I approve of this message.
nam mo a di da phat. I’m here finally. I have lost my way in this new reality where there is much division & endangered human kindness. I am a Buddhist. Hearing thay’s teaching is truly enlightening. In Buddhism, you can also meditate even while u walk. As long as your mind is completely detached from everything & only absorb in the presence that’s meditation 🙏
Compassion, Wisdom and Cutting Off(Freedom) of Afflictions such as Cravings, Hatred/Anger, Wrong Views are very well illustrated in Bro Phap Dung's drama talk.....hum understanding the subtleties is so paramount for my applications into my practice in order to achieve true freedom!!! Thank you, Bro Phap Dung, Thank you, Thay and the Sanga for all the guidance I get at this point of my life!!! ☺️🙏🙏🙏🌹
Beautiful. Thank you.so much for the gentleness & wisdom 💙🙏
“ The wise man is judged not by what he says , but by what he doesn’t say “
Just what was needed. Thank you.
Wish I could attend retreats like this❤️❤️
Thank you, brother
I am Catholic I am so happy that I can see so many similarities and that this is compatible with my church we are all one of one if one is love
Perfect! Thank you 🙏🏾
Appreciating the simple things...the simple things are "spiritual" as well as the spiritual things...beautiful...Namaste...thank you my good brother...
This is my first time hearing him speak. Wonderful!
Love this 🌹
Br. phap I really enjoyed this hour with you
Another one who likes to wash dishes. I like it, too. 🙏 Thanks
Thank you great video
Fantastic! 🙏🌻🙏
Powerful talk ❤️
What a beautiful and insightful talk. Thankyou Brother Phap Dung.
This talk reminded me of the Yuga cycle. We are still so deep in the Kali state of distraction. Once, the whole of the Bhagavad Gita could be passed on orally. Now we need to be reminded to hold our minds while washing dishes.
wonderful lessons

Well that's not neccesarily true, most lay people - throughout history, would be in need of those few who could recite, because they would likely have wandering minds whilst doing tasks also. I think it's why these teachings stay so relevent, it seems to be human nature to have this "monkey mind." I would be wary of placing predecesors on a pedestal, or thinking of them as all the same and lacking the diversity and complexity that we see in one another today.
god is one , the god of adam noah abraham solomon david moses jesus muhammad , they were exist , jesus proofed to be exist , muhammad also , quran is dated early back to the uthman the caliph of empire in 650, mount sinai in saudi arabia and the campsite also the well for the tribes has been found , the torah jewish has been changed compared to dss and septuagint, the septuagint and new testament also have interpolation taht added later , the only thing that doesnt need textual criticism to lift up the variation is only quran , its early dating of manuscript is comeback to the prophet companion life, also all quran we have today can be trace back to that uthman codex no changed the letter of uthman preserved, also better than new testament cannot be paraphrased, quran correcting bible in history also, like the amount of exodus in bible its stated its 2 million jew based on the calculation of the result of the tax, but quran said no its only small people, and scholars today agree that exodus could not be two million to be happen at least thousand , quran already said so, so many other stuff quran corrected the bible , scholars himself said no interpolation in quran, and it can be memorize so many muslim cannot be fooled

Loving this dharma talk.
May triple gem bless you !
Simple, natural, and powerful talk.
I for one could,n9t,bear,to,sit there with all those people invadin g my spcae. I am not a hermit...I have a spouse...we are two halves of a whole. I am a retired academic psychologist I love peace quiet in nature, the tranquility . We live in the tropical mountains of Guatemala in perfect peace. WE have a small villa with tropical garden. WE have as much terrace covered and uncovered as we have indoors space. We read, listen to music, meditate outdoors all on our covered terrace overlooking our rose garden, fountains palm trees etc. Our terrace always some of our blooming orchids...it,8s an idyllic life we worked hard to have. Our bodies are in their 70s with small things to manage but our minds are in our 40s perhaps. AS former sailors this is the life we NEED outdoors all day. People here wash their clothes in pilas outdoors by ha d or in streams still....we can meditate doing chores....I love to cook with intention fully living in the rhythym of preparation. I take the time to treasure every moment.
I needed this. I have the golden handcuffs. I have everything I want but I work 6 days a week. Washing dishes is free !
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
beautiful...i watched a big thunderstorm come and go as this dharma talk filled the house
Hola Plum village:)) Sending inner heart; full of gratitude; peace. V.
That ding at the start literally startled me into another atmosphere. I'm in the clouds now. Bye
Thank you for that wonderful talk
