Wonderful talk of master Thai again. Guiding us into the pure land of the Buddha. I read his books and they are amazing. and to see himself doing all these talks, is really a great gift. like this we can see him from whereever we are, all over the world. like this we can feel him more, than in his books. his energy, his voice, the security in his talking. really a true master, a wonderful teacher, a very strong boddishattva and Buddha talking there to us, showing us the path by superior wisdom. Thay for me is a true legend living forever, anywhere, for everybody, ,he never came, he will never go :)
Daniel Stoll ❤️I feel the same🌷
Very nice Nataloo :) We are in the kingdom so we feel the same. Thai showed us the open door to the kingdom, what a miracle for our lifes, what a Buddha this wonderful person
I agree too! It means so much to be able to hear his voice and see his smile. He is an amazing teacher, writer, and compassionate being. I am so grateful to know he has been with us for so long.
He is precious. We are so fortunate to be able to attend his retreats with CZcams.
It is like to be with the Buddha, and receive teachings directly
I found Thay on CZcams, after learning in AA that spiritual health was a necessary ingredient for sobriety.
I passed five years sober and clean last Thursday, September 21st, 2023.
Plenty of suffering lay in my path, but I maintained my serenity due to the teachings of brother Thich Nhat Hahn 🙏💖🙏🌼🙏
I am just under 8 years clean and sober and have found The practise of mindful breathing miraculous ,its truly incredible if you stick with it ,I never imagined life could feel like this
Congratulations on your 5 year sobriety!
When I’m about to sink into the madness of anxiety & panic I say to myself “listen to the bell” I hear his voice. In all my 49 years of trying everything, this has actually had positive effects on my life. Forever grateful. 💕
Do you practice Vipassana???
@@capitalistcommie6846 it can make things worse for some people, mantra will usually be a better stepping stone for most before vipassana. I speak from having relieved myself of panic attacks, not judging your good intentions.
That’s great to hear. I’m happy for you!
Soozie - Me too. Sometimes, I get pulled away by my thoughts and troubles for so long that I forget how to come home to myself. The only way I can break the spell is to listen to the bell and to Thay. I’m so thankful for that.
@@lizr9894 Exactly the same. It has helped with a few health issues as well. I am thankful too. ♥️
I have struggled with my past deeds and have never forgiven myself..also I see daily and nightly images of my dad and dog friends dying over and over..I have self medicated with alcohol for so many years..every day I here wisdom from somewhere deep within my mind but the voice seems so far away and I just get right back into drinking..but tonight is my 3rd night without the venom because I must travel a different path and hope to find peace and happiness..Thai's voice just causes me to want to be more like him..I do not need to be a loud arrogant, sarcastic ,insecure person..I do have something within me that I admire, and that is my love for animals and all of nature..I want to discard the anger and hate and build upon my good parts...this music is causing me to get emotional..thank you for this wonderful video.
Donald Fewox txs for sharing, its inspiring.. wishing u strength, self compassion and acceptance of the dark parts of u, because we all have those
How 's your aspiration coming along?
Dianna Rimer ...I knew that when I shared my thoughts, someone might notice and be concerned...I wish that I could say that I'm making progress, but here in Florida it has been raining every day and I have given in to the darkness of depression..ashamed to admit that I am sipping (from the bottle) some rum...and the singers are expressing their unconditional love in their voices as I type my confession...I don't know what to say
Donald, I give up the Drink in June 2012, after 30 years of "escape" drinking...I have NOT even touched a "rum filled chocolate" since. It's possible, if you logically look at what it does to your body, and your mind, and the "adventures" you have when under the "affluence of inchohol"I came to the conclusion it was the biggest: waste of time; pain in my personality, and drain on my money that had ever entered my life.
Let it go, better things await you! Even a clearer mind that WILL grow quicker to deal with the "day" and that alone will make you stronger. Alcohol tends to incubate negative feelings, including guilt, you need to become the master not the slave to the drinks industry ...who will love you if you don't dry out! But respect yourself not the distillers. All the best and thanks for opening up...well done, as that's the first step, you are on a path of self realization.
Jonathan Thank you Jonathan for sharing your wisdom..I have failed a few times since making that post, but I honestly feel that I so close to pulling myself up from the edge of that cliff..one reason for my continued failure is that although early in the morning, I believe that I have had enough and feeling empowered, a change slowly creeps in and then I realize that I'm going to drink again..and my higher self is just a little voice in the distance..and logic is just a little bird tweeting in the meadow...and whatever this dark force is, reinforces it's power by showing me sad images of my dad dying and of my dogs that have also died..it tells me that I will never find peace in this life, and might as well get medicated..and instead of me making a stand and firmly saying NO!...I just load up my dogs and jump in my suburban and drive to the beverage castle...just drive right in, and give the state sponsored drug dealer his money and he gives me bottles or cans of that bitter venom..and I become like Bill Murray's character in the Ground Hog Day movie all over again..ok, enough..I'm always searching for wisdom from others and you have offered some and I am willing and able to fight this and defeat the deceiver in the darkness...cast light upon it to reveal the parasitic entity that it is..So now I stand ready again armed with new weapons and a fully charged mind that CAN find peace, that CAN find happiness and that CAN thrive in this realm..thanks for your comment.
In 15 seconds, he says much less than the average person. Then 5 minutes later you realize he’s said more than most people in an hour.
Boomtown
He cuts out all the pointless words and things people usually say. Just the truthful stuff.
The average person...Most People. Interesting perspective to make a point (?). Thuy actually does not have to speak to "say" a lot. Read his book, "Silence."
@@fretfix1 I am simply saying that he speaks slowly but with lots of insight and meaning, if one can slow down and listen ☺️
my sentiments exactly
I am a Christian and have been investigating the Buddhist faith because of its teachings on meditation (be still and know that I am God: Psalm 46:10), and compassion. I found another nugget of truth. Colossians 3:8 in the Bible says to put off anger. The talk here says that we have the seed of anger and not to water it. Thank you for showing me how not to let anger get out of control. These talks are a blessing to me.
There are so many good truths found in Buddhism in how to live a good life.
@@reesahufnagle9165 Absolutely
I was raised as a Christian, too. Jesus taught us to love others as ourselves. He taught us not to look down on anyone, no matter their behavior or state in life. But honoring these teachings is very difficult. And at some point, reading Jesus's teachings, it became clearer and clearer to me that the Buddhist practices of meditation and thoughtful reflection and insight into the state of our own minds and hearts are the "how" of what Jesus taught.
@@littleengine52 spot on.
@@littleengine52 Buddhism gives me a pragmatic way to understand Jesus teachings. I have been a catholic since a child but never really understood it. My suffering sought me to seek deeper and found Buddhism and other teachers for me to find peace and happiness. I am glad I have my sufferings to get to this point in this life. Present moment wonderful moment
What a gentle soul. Makes you realise we all talk too much to and often out of habit.
"this is what I have found. When you touch the present moment deeply You touch the past. & if you know how to handle the present moment properly, you heal the past"
nice picture
Good point♡
Also you live the future of your past, to it's best
Seems logical 🙏
I miss my mother a lot, and feel the truth in these words. They feel more true, and more helpful, than anything else, and deliver me to place that is light, full of space, and simply happy.
With his transition, This was the dharma talk I needed to re-visit. I'm thankful for Plum Village, Vietnam, and Thay's parents for sharing him with us🙏🏾
His stories of the Vietnam war, MLK jr, and exile from his home are fascinating and to hear him speak nothing but compassion for those that have wronged him is absolutely inspiring, an example to live by.
I was at this very talk as a young child. I was able to hold this great man's hand while on a nature walk. At the time I could barely keep my eyes open, I just wanted to go play haha
You have truly been blessed. I love this man.
Wow, Shayla! Thank you for sharing your experience.
His peaceful sweet voice could make even an adult feel free and natural and safe, to sleep or play 😃
That's so cool. Blessed
Omg 😱
TNH has had such a huge impact on me, im am forever greatful for have found the tools for making this life much easier to live. Namaste.
On me too. Namastê!!!🙌🧡
Glad for both of you.
This was over a decade before he got to go home.
He missed it so much...and kept bringing such beauty and kindness to us all.
Rest in paradise, Thay.
This talk is priceless. Thank you, dear Thay and Plum Village. I was so touched when he talked about being at peace even when he couldn't go to his own country. I've been searching for my home (since I don't really have a physical one that I can really say is my home), but Thay has helped me realize that I'm my own home. I can be home anywhere.
usually watching a 10 or 15 minute video on youtube is for me, a stretch too far but I watched this all the way through. I cannot believe someone who has been through so much can be so full of compassion and love. the world would be a better place if more people could just listen to this man.
Beautiful teachings which have no dogma...very rare today to listen to a man who has genuine peace and is able to transmit this to others freely..thankyou
Wrong, they do have a dogma but it is being made up as they go along...on top of the dogma that was invented by Buddha
Thay was most inspired in this talk. The Buddha was talking through Thay. Thank you for posting. These videos save lives. Thank you!
I was so angry before opening this video and after 5 minutes I fell so peaceful. Ty Plum Village for offering me this oportunity.
"They are not my enemies, they are those I want to help, because I have transformed myself." Thich Nhat Hanh
Namaste. Your light will remain bright in our dark world. So many need this help.
This venerable soul will live on in this world through his loving compassion, his good works and Plum Village. He was never born and shall never die. Thank you dear Thay for your teachings. You have touched so many so deeply.
I love it.
thank you Plum Village for making this absolute gem of a talk available to the world! 🙏🏼
I am touched and calmed by this teaching. I am grateful for this energy and wisdom.
The man literally changed my life. I listen to his voice every day and give thanks that he IS. I feel his presence in the same breath with Amitabah. I wonder about what my life must have been before I found him.
I love this man. I really need to devote my life to mindfulness. Instead, I dip my feet in it temporarily every couple of days. read Thay's books, listen to his beautiful voice and words, do light meditation, etc. That's not enough.
It is just enough for you are in that moment of breathing love and compassion for yourself. What you did or will do is unimportant when you breathe and know you are in your body which is love and compassionate. Your breath is everything in the universe. When we breathe and release all the tension in our body we are being mindful and connected to everything past present and future. I love you. Namaste 🙏
Christian.:when you are ready to do more you will,don't worry. Be as kind to yourself as you can. Good luck to.you.😀
You’re n the path as most of us here. We just need to try to be as mindful as much as we can and a single breath is enough to be here and now
I'm the same. We can't be perfect, but we can try to do as much as we can, I think. Peace to you
Thank you so much, everybody. I missed these comments because something happened in my life shortly afterwards, but now that I have revisited this video, I found my comment and all your kind comments towards me and I feel like I found it just when I really needed it. You have all given me so much joy and I pray you are all well. ☺️
RIP Thich thank you so much!! The moment y’all starting chanting tears flooded my face! I could feel my anxiety start to wash away as each tear ran down my face 🙏🏻❤️
I finally understand! Death and rebirth yes happens when we die and are reborn into new bodies but it also has to do with our negative habits thoughts and feelings! I am so grateful to you making this video and all of you commenting allowing me to absorb the wisdom, I am so grateful to all of you! I hope everybody finds what they're looking for because I think I have now
I've been listening to these talks by Hanh for a few years now. They help reduce anxiety for me and help me to remember to breath deeply. Very sad to hear about his passing recently in January. What an amazing life he had.
For the past five years I have constantly been contemplating suicide, I had forgotten what it was to feel alive. I had become deaf and blind to the simple wonders of life around me. Since I started to listen to his talks I have learned to appreciate the things around me. And to appreciate the things that make me up as a person. I am so grateful to be able to feel this way again. To be able to feel alive again. I thank everything that is good and beautiful around me for allowing the veil of depression and despair to lift from my eyes and unblock my ears. And that I can once more look upon the present with a light heart, and not constantly looking at my past with a sense of despair and my future with a sense of foreboding.
I’ve been there, and it gets better once you decide it will. After that, every day, every second it will be better than you could imagine. When you get lost in the depths of your own suffering, its so easy to forget what its like to be content, to feel joy. You may not even realize its already there. I hope you can find what you’re looking for. Good luck!
@@elp5844 thank you so much for the kind words, and may you also live a wonderfully happy life
Thank you for sharing and it makes me so happy that this man's compassion and love has crossed over and touched your heart and lifted the curtain of depression and sadness. It definitely takes time but each day you get filled with more love and with that life.. Stay present, be mindful of enjoying your tea. Sending you lots of love and hugs !
Hope you feel better now :-)
How do you heal from the past?
Older man, with the spark of a young one! Very attractive, interesting to listen to, I'll keep your teaching in mind, thanks a lot.
Le chant est merveilleux au debut. Plein de force mélé pourtant de tendresse
We are so proud of you, Thầy! Your transmission of Buddha's teachings helps the God's children to remember the way back to thẹir true home.
Thầy's story tells me that no one can reach enlightenment without hardship and suffering.
this was a spectacular listen. I wept a few times.
so incredible to me that this tiny, soft spoken man could cause so much fear and insecurity in such powerful people.
Huge thanks to everyone involved sharing this footage!
He speaks and my being is transformed.
I'm so greatful that I have the opportunity to listen to Thay teaching. His teaching is a true miracle.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry Thay for the loss of your friend. Imagine burning yourself alive as a compassionate gesture. What an amazing woman. She lives on forever.
I am grateful to have watched and listened to this today. Thank you Plum Village.
I wish I had found this wonderful man earlier in my life.I might not have made all the mistakes I have made. But I did find your beautiful audiobooks and videos like this and for that I am so grateful. wherever you go from here, you will make a better place but I hope you know that we all miss you x
What a deep teaching ! And what a Noble Silence from the listeners!
Wow! That was very inspiring! I could listen to him forever!
Got this video at the right time in my life. Thank you.
Thank you very much. It seemed powerful to me hearing about Thay's journey after the exile. About his suffering and then finding his true home. The practice with eyes of Thay on the Buddha and everything is impressive. And he is a peaceful being, may that seed be watered by him in the group of us who need it very much.
So grateful for your energetic contribution to world peace & human enlightenment ♡ All of you.
His Soul is pure. Beautiful teaching. Thank you!
Only infants has pure soul
Marvelous, in fact more than that. Thay's teachings are the best medicine I've seen. I could listen to him so many hours a day and be relaxed and focus on his words. He is a blessing in this world, because a lot of people is suffering, and he teach the way we can heal, if we are able to practice in our daily day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wit all my respect to Thay. Evangelina Cortes.
Watching this to help me through the grieving process after the devestating van attack in Toronto. Peace to all. Thank you.
🧘🏽♀️👊🏽🥰🙌🏼❤💯@ PLUM VILLAGE..TY MASTER THICH NHAT HANH..& I HAVE THE BOOK, " HAPPY TEACHERS CHANGE THE WORLD "!! IT CHANGED MY LIFE,, NAMASTE & BLESSED 🧘🏽♀️❤💛💚🙏🏾🙏🏾
So timely that I am listening to this 2004 talk in these political contentious times of 2019 in the US. Thay's recounting of the Vietnam war years, communism vs non- communism, is so moving. Thay and his monks and nuns wanted only to wage Peace during those war years. They were not taking sides! He reminds us that the fear based ideology of right and left, racism, of war mongering, greed, should be met with the practice of mindfulness, and compassion. What a deep practice this is! I have been so glued to the news, and signing petition after petition these past 2 years, feeling despair. I couldn't help crying while listening to Thay's inspirational dharma talk. His years of being an exile led him to the insight of " We won't suffer if we find our true home". I now understand more deeply too what it is to be breathing in, I am home, breathing out, I have arrived. The practice transcends our anxiety,fear and anger. I can now strive to be a more effective engaged Buddhist practitioner if I vow to remember to breathe in and breathe out....mindful of the message of love, compassion for those that espouse hate and division. Thank you to the current leaders of Plum Village and associated retreat centers. Thank you to Thay, our great teacher. How blessed are we to have him in our life time. My daily prayers are sent your way as you continue to rest in your beloved homeland temple in Vietnam. I feel so much love for you Thay. Thank you.❤️🙏❤️
Thank you again and again forever
The beauty, freedom, kindness, strength, and grace Thay radiates are truly astounding! The most realized being I've ever experienced. What a blessing and honor to be in the presence of his purity and wisdom.
☀️💞🙏💞🙏💞🙏💞☀️
1:28:43 is the beginning of a powerful lesson. Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh. Recognizing, Embracing, and Looking deeply. Caring for one's emotions as a mother would care for a baby in order to transform one's anger/pain/habit energy. Radical acceptance.
“So much oppression yet a choice of quintessential compassion- you are my #HERO TNH.”
Body space and mind in perfect Oneness
I send my heart along with the sound of this bell
May the hearts awaken from their forgetfulness and
Transcend the path of anxiety and sorrow
Beautiful story of his coming to the “present moment home “ in his own journey. How fortunate to have his teaching still even after he has left his body. His deep knowledge “walking in energy of freedom”. Walking for his ancestors “I am free then they are free” He is gentle and rock solid. His teaching is everlasting. In Gratitude.
Hello Kathy 👋 how're you doing? Have a blessed day. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thay's speaking begins at 27:00
thank you
Neil Sumner It most definitely isn't.
Neil Sumner thank you.
Can't have your cake and eat it too?
Why is he always in a TB ward
It is very clear from the very beginning that this is a very special video .
I am truly touched by his words and compassion. Listening him is blessing for me
May he come and go freely and be safe on his journey 🙏❤️🙏 (so grateful for being able to watch these talks whenever I can and need to)
I can not thank you enough...I listen to you almost everyday and practice mindful being. Thank you!!
You are amazing. , beautiful , spiritual voice and your KNOWING is beyond , thank you with appreciation and gratitude,
That was a really beautiful talk.
Very important teaching thank you🙏🏻
Dear Thay, it’s so crucial for this ending of the Vicious Cycle of our life’s sufferings through generations of our lineage!! 🙏🙏🙏 M L Mok xxx❣️
the hardest part of overcoming negative habits is people around you who you depend on for emotional and physical support simply dont want to end their bad habits have no intention to
break those attachments , it ll be good for "them" also, if it s truly righT for you !
Compassion is the answer we can plant seeds of positive change in others as well
Not reacting is a reaction. You are choosing to not step into that energy and keep your peace.
Thầy đã cứu mạng tôi. Khi tuổi trẻ của tôi đi vào bế tắc không lối thoát, thật may mắn tôi đã gặp được lời dạy của Thầy ngay thời điểm đó. Thầy là người Thầy của hết thảy các loài trên trái đất
Thank you so much for adding more of Thay's dharma talks!! Our family (and I'm sure, many others :) ) are so grateful.
🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏👏👏👍👍👍❤❤❤. I could listen to your beautiful words whole day everyday. I feel like there is no words to describe how amazing and holy you are. You have become part of my inner voice and i am much happuer. ❤❤❤❤
So so beautiful! Thank you for making this available
This particular talk held enormous significance for me. Master Hanh is absolutely clear how the antidote to our afflictions of bad attitudes can be resolved by mindfulness
Yes us mind is taking ask: is that so??And the Answer is mostly:I DONT KNOW,and you move an! We gat pulled in to Collective thinking,don’t believe the mind! Breathing is the best way to be in the Now,watch breathing!🙏💜🙏 😍🌹
Right, he makes it clear w that father son transmission example
Bless your soul ambassador of peace , living Buddha , needed 1 milliards of you on this brutal Earth 😏😢🙏😇
What a enlightened human being. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him in person!
Marcio Mattos marciomattos me too
Me too...
We don’t need to meet close,a loving 💜 brings him in to you! 😲😲🤷♀️🤷♀️💜💜👍👍👍😍😍😍🌹🌹
My hope and prayer is that all humans hear these teachings and are blessed by them. I am so weary of christians who believe they know their path is the only way. I hope to find community soon because I can't do this life alone.
Hi Julia, just to let you know, you are not alone. I share your outlook and Christian perspective. x
First timer here and it is so beautiful. I’m excited to learn more. Beautiful singing nourish’s my body.
Watching from New Zealand
You ve found a good place enjoy
Marvelous! In fact more than that. Thay's teachings are powerful and soft at he same time. I could listen to him several hours a day and be relaxed and focus in his words. His teachings are an extraordinary way to help people to heal, because there are a lot of people suffering, and his words are marvelous medicine. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Evangelina Cortes.
Thank you ! I cried because happiness and peace in myself. Gratitude teacher ! ^^
Bài hát luôn luôn nhẹ nhàng, dễ thương và Con luôn nhớ ơn đến Sư Ông đã dạy Con sự vững chảy, những bước đi chậm rãi luôn mãi.
This one of Thai spiritual children I am very happy and nourished from the wisdom and beauty thank you for the Dharma sharing.
❤️🙏❤️
I don't know how to thank you. These videos are extraordinary not just by their content, so full of intelligence and knowledge, but they are so well done that we can be so present with master Thai. To look at him, this is a so beautiful gift.
Deep deep gratitude to you plum village.
Thank you Thay for this Dharma talk, I was touched to hear about one of your disciples a nun who committed the greatest act of love, to end her life burning herself with gasoline to give voice to those who were not allowed one, for peace during the Vietnam war. And her letter to you, to not to worry peace will come, that she reassures her teacher knowing she will make this ultimate sacrifice. A true boddishattva. A lotus for you
What a terrible foolish act. This is not an act of love. Life is precious.
Wow this came at just the right time. Truly the beauty of heaven in the eternity of Now captured🧡
There is beauty and silence between the coughs.
DrummerJacob Haha
Seems like every one of his vids is like this. Cough city. Smh.
Corona central
@@mikel7509 More like smoker's central.
Distractions can be a great teacher of concentration enter zen from there 😌
Bless you Thay & Plum Village, thanks for sharing. I found the part about store and mind consciousness very helpful and in line with my own experiences. We all have a store of negative seeds in our store consciousness. What we normally do is water the mental formations further, making them stronger, generating more seeds of the same quality, and allowing them to take over our mind consciousness and ruin us. This is not the right approach...
With our practice of mindfulness, we can call our seed of mindfulness to come up and embrace our negative mental formation tenderly. We can be there to take care of our anger, enabling ourselves to embrace it. Only then do we have a chance to understand it deeply, develop insights on it, and start to weaken, dissolve, and transform it.
I don't understand how mindfulness can do all of this. Can you explain further? I am trying to heal past and present pain regarding my mother's absence in my life.
I was blessed by a quick visit from him today as he visited his people in my building from his country. It was an honor I shall never forget. Thank you for answering my call for help over some matters and responding for 2 days. You will always be in my heart.
Thank you for posting this.
Ven Thay, honourable buddhist priest, , TQ for all your inspiring talks, very enlightening and educational and spiritual and meaninglful and relevant, I would like to share this from our Bible, Mat 5:9- Blessed are the peacemakers: they shall be called, Children of God. God bless you, Thay, abundantly.
studying while listening to these talks are grounding :D. so thank you :)
Thank you so much for bringing me back home, to the present moment, free from the past and the future. ❤
What Thay says around 1:47:20 is pretty similar to what Viktor Frankl used to say about healing and transformation.
Frankl said: It's not the past that's holding you back. It's the future and how you undermine it today.
So basically that means your post holds answers but the solution can only be found in the here and the now.
This is so powerful.
I don't understand this. Can you explain it further? I am trying to heal old and present pain from a mother that is not accepting of me.
@@daniellesickini675 I believe a good practice is also: How am I weighing myself down today? Recognize the destructive thoughts. It's true that with our minds we create the world. A lot of thoughts are hard to access because they are what we see as "normal". Questioning these thoughts really helped me.
@@daniellesickini675 from Victor Frankel's perspective: he had written about a Polish woman who had many of her friends and family murdered in world war ii. She had said if she mourned a day for every person, there would be more people to mourn than time in her life. However, one could also live their life with purpose in the moment and through that feel the connection to both the meaningfulness of those people, the connection to everything (spirit), and our own agency to love people in the moment. And when you love people in the moment, that weaves into the fabric of reality in a way to recontextualize the deaths (ie grieving).
Keep posting! Thanks✌️
Sickk tune, lavvvv it. Great talk too - always walking us back to our true nature, thank you
