Astounding illumination of the experience of suffering in myself and others. "He suffers so much and does not know how to handle his suffering so it spills over into your life and others around him." Gives reason to contemplate one's own suffering in the past and at least recognize the beginning of one's response of compassion. But-- it is MY practice that makes the difference in the relationship, and never my demand that the other person get a practice, do something in the practice, in short, change. This whole teaching ("you cannot take the left away from the tight or the right away from the left") is profound and so good for practical use in daily life. Thank you.
Masha'Allah... he is a great guide on the Path to the Truth... he so beautifully simplifies the most difficult things for us... Allah bless him with more .... Amen
Interbeing means I can't be by myself alone, I have to interbeing with others!!! Thank you so much Venerable Thay. Your teachings are a balsam of love to the world necessities. Evangelina Cortes.
Great teaching of Thay master understanding of Buddhist principles. No need to run away from suffering .The more we suffer the more we will be understanding the sufferings of the other.☸️🙏
I love this video. But please help me understand: Does this also mean there is no peace without war? No wealth without poverty?

the war and peace one is a bit more complicated, but imagine a small community of 100 people who are also the last 100 on the world. If they all own the same amount of assets and money, there is no wealth because there is no poverty or wealth. now imagine that same community has 25 people who have less than the average amount of assets than everyone else has. now they are considered poor while the majority is wealthy because there is a difference between the two. if there is no poor, there is no wealthy, and vice versa
That is a profound question. I'm not knowledgeable but would love to hear what Thay, or one of his students, would answer. I expect that the answer doesn't in any way condone war or poverty but would bring us back to ourselves. My work is to heal my own suffering and grow in compassion and hope that I can affect others positively through my compassion.
Perhaps there are two kinds of peace: peace as part of a war/peace duality, and peace that transcends this duality. Same with the wealth/poverty duality.
One is more simply the absence of the other. Without the possibility of war, the existence of peace would have no significance. Because of the contrast between wealth and poverty, you understand the opposing weights of material possession and absence.
So beautiful to see him and hear him and his teachings ❤
"Looking into the mud you see future Lotus." Wow!!! What a way to look at life. So powerful.
