I have only just discovered listening to this wonderful teacher a short while ago. I have read Buddhist books but he explains Buddhism so beautifully and perfectly more than any of them. Such a peaceful way to start my day listening to him. Much, much gratitude for the teachings of this kind, loving, compassionate, and peaceful man.
The four notions are self, man, living beings, and lifespan.
1. Self - there is no “other”
2. Man - we have mineral, vegetable, animal and human ancestors and we should protect them all
3. Living beings - we are not separate from Buddha
4. Lifespan - you are free from time
We are one with god and everyone and everything around us. There is no other. God is everything for eternity.
I actually came here looking for quick notes for my notebook ... so Thank you Sarah :)
I am so glad that Plum Village has uploaded these recordings; it has given Thich Nhat Hanh to live on in his unparalleled wisdom.
Buddhism gives you the tools to be a better Christian and vice versa....priceless wisdom!
Issa IS a BUDDHA...
As a Quaker there is much to recommend in Thay's sense of interbeing. Hoa binh cho tat ca sinh vien.
Yes! ☺️
It gives you the tools to be a better human being.
Born and raised as a catholic, however Buddhism continually instills a better person in me. All is well..
I just love how he says “mud” ☺️ it tickles my heart
Typical Vietnamese accent 🤭
Mutt
Me too! ☺🥰
Aww. So sweet. So gentle. So matter-of-fact.
This video has really given me a solid understanding on what it means to experience my own life as a Buddhist. I don't care about "being" a Buddhist or not, I just care about culitvating this profound awareness of life and how to live it.
Seeing the Buddha in us and us in the Buddha. This is a wonderful teaching. 🙏🙏🙏
The gift of your life is a gift to me. My mom shared walking meditation with me by age 17. I am 65, still practicing your gentle awareness. Thank you for living Truth.
Dear Antonia, would You please tell me how one does it I've listened to Thay, bless his soul, for many times only about mindfull walking.!!⚘🌱🌷
And your life is a gift to him and all of us too even if we didn't meet you!
Thay is Bodhisattva .. we are lucky to have him on earth ☸️☸️☸️
The real Bodhisattva 💜
Beloved Thay my heart smiles and my eyes wip each time I hear your gentle voice and feel your kindness and warmth... With eternal gratitude I bow to you 🙏
when I hear Great Teacher I cry and thanks Budda for him
Sadhuwad 🌹🙏🙏🙏😇
Im not religious but respect to this dude. World would be a better place if people were as thoughtful and peaceful
I just watched this teaching again - for me it is truly one of Thay's most powerful Teachings. 🙏💓
I have started watching and reading. What a comfort it has been to find a way of being and managing the suffering of cv19. Many thanks. This has saved my mental health
Fear not. (The only real contagion is fear.)
I finally realize what the Four Notions means. What a great teacher he is!
Always brings peace to see this face, hear this voice in the morning.... I wish I could beam it from space to cover the 🌎 planet
Oh precious Thay - you are Vietnam's gift to the world - thankyou for walking with us in these times
Thank you, Thây! Your wiser words are plenty of peace. They should be spoken up everywhere.
Greetings from Spain 🪷 🙏
Thank you, dear friend! Greetings from the Plum Village App team 🪷 🙏
Every night I listen his lesson. I am so blessed to encounter the same life time with him. He is the greatest being.
Thank you, Thay. I am grateful to be in you and for your nature to be in mine. 🤲
Very simple but crystal clear❤
Might be the best time (covid) for the world, to actually start listening.
It’s hard to believe this man is 93 a true advertisement for mindfulness ❤️
Fairly sure this is an old video.. He had a stroke a few years ago and was in a very bad way... Not sure he ever recovered
Mish Macky oh that makes sense thanks ... I didn’t know that, very sad he’s such a beautiful man but I suppose the age is there ❤️
@@MishMacky it says it's from 2011 i think.
Yes induced 93 year old is in me and I am in him
@@cricketikaika2530 If so he is at least 80 years old in this video...wow
To be free of the notion that someday I will become nothing feels like supernatural power that helps me in a mighty, yet effortless way to be alert of my thoughts, speech and actions (and no-reactions😁).
Thank God for Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
Hallelujah 🙏
Thank You Dear Sangha
May there be Peace and Love among all sentient beings ❤️🕉️☮️☮️☮️❤️
This is a precious teaching of the diamond sutra. Wow I feel so lucky to have been able to hear this
I highly value the teachings from Thich Nhat Hanh and I apply all of it in my daily Practice. The outcome is peaceful everyday
Thank you for sharing these amazing truths: 16:58 "he found that in Buddhism he has the tools, the instruments, in order to practice the teaching of Christianity." 17:08 "Learning about Buddhism can help you to be a better Christian and vice versa."
Thay mentions Christian mystics: I wonder how many Sunday sermons ever mention them and their insights?
Very Beautifully explained🙏🙏I am so Blessed to have such a precious teaching today,
What a beautiful teaching from a true bodhisattva,heartfelt gratitude dear thay and thanks to dear Sangha for giving this wonderful teachings from our great teacher.
Thank you Venerable Sir for giving us this important message ….. teaching!
I am so very happy to hear him bring up the comparison to Christ and the teaching of the testament. His work on this is a worthy read.
Read his book “Living Buddha Living Christ”. 🕉
@@OhHapppyDaay exactly....read it ....ten years ago, maybe 15.! Or more....cant remember exactly. Gave it to my son 9 years ago
Sadhuwad 🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏😇
Your transmission of the dharma is truly one of the greatest gifts of my life . Thank you
Love you Plum village . I listen to tnhaudio.org always . I have been reading That's books since 1990s 😍
I was reading the Dalai Lama feels he will NOT be re-incarnated . The time of the Dalai Lama may be over. As Thay says " The next Buddha is the Sangha!"
@@onnion63 hi, where did you read it, could you please share? Thank you 🙂🙏
@@onnion63 he wants the tradition to change because he knows the Chinese government will try and control where the next Dalai Lama is reincarnated for their own gains
Great teaching of Thay, 🙏🙏🙏
"I will continue to be...a flower or a leaf...+ send you a greeting. If you are aware, you will recognize me, and you will be smiling at me. +I will be very happy." OUR TEACHER TNH🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️

Dear Thay I bow to the Buddha in u 🙏🏻
Grazie Maestro Thay, 😊🙏
I love you Thay so much. I make my life happy. Listening to your talks. 💕
This is an incredibly profound lesson on the Diamond Sutra. I especially loved the concepts of interconnected “inter-me”, the non-composite elements and living beings relation to Buddha. So nicely explained. Thanks for sharing.
Love you dear jiThich Nath
SO OUTSTANDING!
Very inspiring and the insight is profound and simply explained it without complicated words like all his dharma talks❤️🙏
thank you master thich ... even in death your wisdom never end its penetration to the uninitiated. I've read the diamond sutra. But failed to understand why it has the reputation of clearing doubts and like diamond can cut through your illusions. At least I'm beginning to understand it now.
A Cloud cannot die but it does transform I am in the cloud in the cloud is in me touches my soul oh we think he has passed on really 💨
So simple, so profound and powerful I wish I could sit before you and learn...you truly bring peace with each word . Thank you 🙏🏼
His teachings are gems❤
great Master, you will live in the whole earth
Thank you so much Dear Thay. You and your Wonderfull community of Nuns and Monks have helped me a lot. Evangelina Cortes.

Thank you dearest Thay....I needed to listen to your wisdom today...💜💖🙏
Thank you so much 🙏 for this video.. I will continue to practice and illuminate the beautiful path of the budda.

Venerable Thay your wisdom is amazing. I love your explanation on Jesus is the Son of God, but also is the son of man. My honor and gratitude to you. Evangelina Cortes.

This is very courageous. I dare step on that I hold most dear? The step becomes solid footing. The pieces which I'd thought have run instead become mirrors of truth.
Amazing grace ❤ 🙏💐

It is scary to be, I'm not jused to hurt by existing. Thank you
The old and new testament teaches us to see ourselves as a building, a city and a body each made up of collected elements. They also implore us to understand God is in each of us and we are to express righteous behavior toward eachother because of this. Love you all.
You will love God when you love to seek God. You will know God when you know to love God. And you will seek God when you love to know God.
Mike dont waste your time here. You will not learn
@@Unknown-bv7lv wwill not learn what?
@@Unknown-bv7lv you are are peculiar bird....why say such a foolish thing? Why don't you waste my time and tell me all about it, what did I say to give you such a rise? What I wrote is true. What he said is true. They are one, now and forever.
@@Unknown-bv7lv btw....superiority is not an aspect of an enlightened, compassionate "great" person.
Joseph...you must study harder...and listen to the video again...I have said nothing that this teacher has not said. Your offence is inappropriate.

SI SI SI, AL DICCIONARIO , para que llegue a mas personas it s closer to the truth, says master

(Thom 39) Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."
(Gosp of Philip)
"Winter is the world, summer the other realm."
(Philip)
So a disciple once asked the master for something from the world, and he said, “Ask your mother, and she will give you something from another realm."
(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with that person."
(69) Jesus said, "Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they who have truly come to know the father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled."
(Thom 2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."
(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, (guides) they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with that person."
(48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."
(6) "... Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered."
(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be."
Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end ..."
(11) Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away.
The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do?
On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"
(21)"... for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize...."
(51) His disciples said to him, ". when will the new world come?"
He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it."
(24) His disciples said to him, "Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it."
He said to them, " There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness."
(77) Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend....
Jesus said, "I put myself under a curse for you to save you."
(77) ...Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."
(82) Jesus said, "He who is near me is near the fire, and he who is far from me is far from the kingdom."
(17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never to the human mind."
(3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
Jesus explains very clearly our identity in Him. He said,
You are the After-thought of enlightened Fore-thought.
(Secret Apoc of John) The Mother-Father is great in mercy, the Holy Spirit, who in every way is compassionate, who sympathizes with you, the After-thought of enlightened For-thought.
The Holy Spirit sympathizes with our compassionate nature, and is patient while we figure out how to realize our creative nature without hurting ourselves and others. I mean, before the flood, our feminine creative nature had free reign and we ended up manifesting Giants that ravaged the earth and us. After the flood, it's been the "men's turn," Until we figure out how to co-exist, we are contained under this firmament on a flattish earth. I imagine when the dome goes, it rolls back like a scroll?
(Gosp Philip) the Lord said, Blessed is he who is before he came into being. For he who is, has been and shall be."
( Secret Apoc John) As for me, I appeared in the form of an Eagle on the tree of knowledge, which is the After-thought of the Pure enlightened forethought...
(While human beings are the afterthought of enlightened forethought, Jesus is Pure enlightened forethought.)
continuing....
that I might teach the human beings and awaken them from the depth of sleep. For the two of them were fallen and realized they were naked. Afterthought appeared to them as light and awakened their minds.*
Jesus said the Tree of Knowledge is "the After-thought of pure enlightened forethought." What is "pure" enlightened forethought?
(Dialogue of the Savior)
"The Lord said, whatever is born of truth does not die. Whatever is born of woman dies." (In this mortal world of temporary existence, humans cannot imagine how to get out of this mess. )
(Thom 17) Jesus said, I will give you what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, and what has never occurred to the human mind."
In other words, "Pure" enlightened forethought.

I always feel like I want to go home. Does this go away? Where is my soul longing to go?
I feel this too but have found that it a) takes time to feel at home where I am, or b) means that you need to get more in touch with your self. And a great way to do this is as always mindfulness and meditation. You can get comfortable with where you are and sit right down with that feeling of “wanting to go home” to explore it more deeply and learn what it’s trying to tell you. It’s persisting because you still need to learn the message. I hope that helps.
@@nettle_head wow! That was actually really heavy thank you!
it sounds like you're onto knowledge of fundamental suffering
I feel your being identifies at some level 'this' is not home ,, there is 'other'. In my view both these states are the same, but opposite. This is the movement, desire for other, thanha, becoming, bhava, birth Buddha described. Just bring this state forth in to meditative awareness and let it manifest and become aware of your self manifestation in this feeling, the need to go to the next moment in this feeling which denotes the unsatisfactory nature of being, the conditioned phenomena, and what is not this feeling state which co exits every time. Notice thinking and understanding which is way beyond thinking and deep. See how even the understanding changes ultimately understsnding nothing/ not nothing, the co existent paradox.
That is your path to liberation to non being being coexistence and which is not born, an understanding which is nibbling, Buddha encouraged us to investigate. Follow access to insight.org where you get the translated versions of teaching and amaravati.org in publications there are some words of practising monks.
I believe it's a place within you. If you feel like that, it must be a good sign, you are getting close.

I wish the 4th notion was elaborated on a little more, or that I understood it better. Is he directly referencing reincarnation with the being transformed for "better or worse" according to practice? Or is it more that we live on in others because we are connected?
Dear Stephen, the following short teaching video might help: czcams.com/video/-NAhDCyNWEg/video.html (Signlessness: A Cloud Never Dies) 🙏
@@plumvillageapp Thank you for your reply, it's very appreciated as I feel this is an important concept.
After watching the video, it seems the "continuation through others" was closer to being correct (he references the Thay now being in you, for example), but I feel it's only a piece of something greater I can't grasp yet. In the cloud example, the cloud becomes the rain, which I believe will become the cloud again, albeit a different cloud. Is the idea that humans go through the same? The body becomes the soil, the soil becomes the plant, the plant becomes the human again?
I can't help but feel I'm being too literal in my understanding. I should meditate on it more, as I shouldn't expect to understand signlessness from a single youtube video!
6:28 - 6:51 Can anyone tell me please what Thay says just after he’s explained “mahasattva” ? The subtitles cut out for a few seconds. Thank you.
He was translating in Vietnamese.
I understand the inferiority complex, but I’m struggling to understand the superiority complex. If you have think you’re better than others, how would that make you suffer?
It is due to the feelings and behavior that are the very basis of the complex of superiority: pride, arrogance. It makes that person tense. She will always be in a state of control, willing to stay in a position of domination, which is a form of suffering that makes others suffer. Thay and other masters may have reached a state of non duality where theses complexes have no more meaning at all.
From only hearing this man noone will be healthy
Buddhism just a philosophy nothing else.
Certain Christain fundamentalists would view this as sacrilege.
