yep! sooooo easy to say! (when you are in dry and cosy place) sooo hard to do dear, if you are not! - try to be not despair and in peace (in real life, not just theoretically with sayings) if you are for days, months or even years DAILY abused by war crime, sadistic parents as child or other terrible things facing millions of people daily in their life right now in this moment on this planet ... maybe something to read? Tortured: Abused and neglected by Britain’s most sadistic mum.
The most difficult thing that Thay practices, is not to be overwhelmed by despair. That is the hardest thing to practice. Words cant express what this teacher means to me. He is the definition of beauty and compassion.
What a beautiful message. Thank-you Thay and Plum Village for sharing these teachings and reminders with us all. May understanding and compassion guide us all.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Venerable Thay. It's amazing to hear your high understanding level, full of compassion and so many expressions of the human potencial in a single person; and of course, that person it's YOU!!! Our work could be different with more people like you. I try to do my best in order to help myself and others too. My honor tu yo dear Thay. Evangelina Cortes.
@@nutran6174 Thank you. I just remembered, I saw Mr. Hahn in person over 10 years ago at a park in Los Angeles. It was a gathering lead by him where we all sat quietly in the park, saying nothing for the most part. I can't remember much else. I do remember no one clapped... the just turned their hands fast. Like waving with the hands.
Looking at his eyes when he shared a story about the war got me teared up. Thank you, Thay, for teaching and showing us the true meaning of loving kindness. 🙏 I'm grateful to find your dhamma talks, I've been following the practice and it helps me a lot. Send love to you and the sangha. ❤
It's calming listening to him. I love how he weighs his thoughts before answering. We just dive right in with our opinions. I'm going to think more first before speaking.
"You have to be peace to bring peace"- if those words were practiced solely we would end all wars on planet Earth. What I can do for the planet is to become peace myself. I can not control other people, their responses and choices. If I feel they disturb my peace than I have work to do, on myself, not on others. This kind of responsibility comes from the mind that is aware of itself and the cause and effect of it's actions
This video, and others where Thay speaks about his peace activism, should be shown as part of the school curriculum for the history of the 20th Century.
Thich Nhat Hanh recognized that the root cause of the war was the electorate in the US voting for officials that support the war, similar to how he recognizes the importance of inquiring the monkey mind for the root causes of negative emotions. You have to tenderly embrace the negative emption, just like you have to send a letter of love (without hate) to the officials. A truly brilliant teacher. The Buddha and Thich Nhat Hanh know important psychological principles without having been exposed to the Western development thereof.
i can listen to Thay's words again & again...not just wisdom & compassion but so well articulated in a way it's so calming for lay people to hear it. Thank you Thay
Please could you add to the description the where and when of the program at which this talk was recorded? Other videos also give links to full recorded sessions; is that available on TH-cam?
I am just wondering why Thay did not come to talk and educate to the Soviet, Chinese Communist and the North Vietnam to stop waring with the South Vietnam? If Thay had done that successfully, everything would have been millions times better including human life and Vietnamese policy. 😔 If anyone can transfer this question to Thay, I am very appreciated.
...define despaire...why, how, what, ...in metaphysical way, ....the core of despair, is what ?!... somebody?!...great question, for dear T . 🙏❤️🌹...God bless you all... 🙏🙏🙏
Why does he refer to himself in the third person: "Thay went to America.." etc? In Western culture that is considered highly egotistical. Does anyone know about how this behaviour is regarded in Vietnam?
I heard him say "I went to America," but I can see why you heard him say "Thay went..." because of his clipped English pronunciation, which is sometimes hard to follow. Also, I've read that "Thay" means "master" or "teacher," which can be used either to refer to a Buddhist monk or nun who is a master teacher, which Thich Nhat Hanh (in my and many others' view) clearly is.
The answer is quite simple ...Thay has self realization he is not his body, not his body is he and Thay has self realization he is not his mind, not his mind is he. Words he must use but the wise never let themselves be used by them. ^^
Despair is such a self-feeding emotion, thank you Thay.

Is that what he said...? I can't seem to remember these exact words from your comment

I needed this today more than anything, I prayed for it, and here he is with the Dharma.
Amen 🙏
Wow I just understood the source of my suffering. I lost myself in anger and hate many many years ago.

No words…just gratitude for you and the life you give and have given so unconditionally 💙🙏💙

Hi, how did it go?
Very wise 🙏🏾
I am guilty of wanting to respond without thinking.

That might be the best story I've heard about the war at Vietnam. Thich Nhat Hanh is truly a man of peace.
This video, and others where Thay speaks about his peace activism, should be shown as part of the school curriculum for the history of the 20th Century.
Its a shame they dont include him one bit in the school curriculums.
Took me 8 minutes to realize there is someone behind that table in the middle. Great video, too.
oh yeah. he was camouflaged by the flowers.
I thought he was under the table 😄
I saw him at 5:40 because he moved a little. Is that a kind of monks' superpower?
Cracked up, only realised cause you pointed that out 😅😅😅
I thought it was a painting of hands utill he moved 😅
Thay brought me to tears. Such a beautiful soul .
thank you, Master Thay...you help so many people with your words of wisdom & kindness, peace, love..health & dharma to you sir..G.k, xx
Wow. Well said.
i didn't recognized a monk behind the table seating he blended well
The most important video I have ever seen.

Why is there someone behind the table? It looks like he is hiding.

Hi, I'm a Vietnamese and it's normal for us to say that in Vietnamese. Sorry if you felt negative with that.
I heard him say "I went to America," but I can see why you heard him say "Thay went..." because of his clipped English pronunciation, which is sometimes hard to follow. Also, I've read that "Thay" means "master" or "teacher," which can be used either to refer to a Buddhist monk or nun who is a master teacher, which Thich Nhat Hanh (in my and many others' view) clearly is.
can something actually be more egotistical than saying 'I...', 'I...' all the time? :)
The answer is quite simple ...Thay has self realization he is not his body, not his body is he and Thay has self realization he is not his mind, not his mind is he.
Words he must use but the wise never let themselves be used by them. ^^
