- In this amazing lecture, Vietnamese Buddhist Master Thich Nhat Hanh skillfully introduces us to Mindfulness / Tranquility Meditation. Thich Naht Hanh embodies these practices and is able to convey his Realization in this incredible Dharma talk. This is the best introduction to Buddhist meditation I have ever experienced and I highly recommend listening to it over and over. May all beings learn to calm their minds and be happy :)
I feel his loss palpably from time to time. I am a Vietnam veteran, strangely a linguist of North Vietnamese. I came home a pacifist finding 'home' in a Quaker meeting. It took a few years to find Thich Nhat Hanh. In the mean time we had sponsored Vietnamese boat people refugees in our home to begin. There I discovered Being Peace and the Miracle of Mindfulness. Forestry was my profession. Trees are a central part of my life as are wildflowers! Now we have lost Thay, he must bloom in many of us now. We need him desperately. Hoa Binh (peace).
Thank for this beautiful sharing of your life story, service to others and wishes for us all. 🙏🙏🙏 We love trees and flowers too and Thay's eloquent inclusion of these as metaphors in his teachings are beautiful thoughts to behold and guide.

11-3-2023 So grateful for That's beautiful, healing words and the gift of this teaching. Deeply grateful for the veteran's response also. I have PTSD from childhood experiences, and I sense that mindfulness is the door to being calm and aware, and it is always open. I am a retired teacher, 80 years breathing on earth, finally understanding how.
My husband was also a Vietnam Vet. He became a teacher because he saw what war does to children and wanted to do something to help change the world. He said it begins with the children. He taught in gang zones, teaching the forgotten and set aside children in USA. So, reading what you shared, touched me deeply. Thank you ☮️🕊️☮️
“I am confident spiritual practice body will go on long after my physical body” this was the last paragraph I had from this man a few days ago then I heard he had died
His voice has the power to soothe a soul overwhelmed with emotion. He can bring hope to so many despairing people with his guided meditation.
Perfect description. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am saddened by his stroke and encouraged by his strength in the face of his disabilities. I’ve attended his dharma talks in NY in the years before his stroke. His an amazing man who has brought calm a d insight to those have spent time with him. 🙏🙏🙏
yes, i agree, i wish i could just hangout with kim and be a monk
He is always alive to me. His teachings are full of life and I am forever grateful for coming to know his spirit.
I remember when Hanh "passed away" one of his disciples said..
I see the Master in everything, everytime I look at a tree, in every branch, in everything.
That is somone who understands Dharma.
You can feel their presence in their teaching.
Never Gone.
Blessed Continuation Day Lord Hanh.
🙏
I listen to this particular video all the time. I have very bad anxiety and ptsd and listening to this beautiful man calms me.
Is there any recommended book over how to handle a life with a CPTSD?
I am in a dark part of my life, but this meditation and way of life is my new mission. Cant go on with the western way anymore its just poison in my body for me. What a wonderful place on the internet....
I wish every human would listen to this video. Just listening to Thich Nhat Hanh opened so much space in me. Thank you.
I agree completely. 🙏

So simple so powerful on so many levels I will be sending this to friends😌🙏
My sentiments exactly. Wish I had known this video existed years ago. Could have saved myself a lot of heartaches and disappointments.
I've been listening to this lecture for over 15 years and continue to learn from and be humbled by it.🙏🙏
Every time I focus on my breath I feel him sitting next to me, telling me to let go of my preconceived notions about life. When I hug a tree I feel his presence in the tree.
I'm constantly reminded the people I miss who have transitioned to non physical are still around, living through me, seeing the world through my eyes.
Woah, I wrote this before I got to the part about the tree. 😳

He brings me always back on the path. Always saying YES to life with every step I take. Im so grateful that his precious words will stay, even if he is gone.
Love, peace and light from germany to all of you 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for the beautiful comment!
RIP. These practices bring joy in my life...even on the hardest day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.🙏 much gratitude. ❤🙏
The beauty, simplicity and profound truth of beloved Thay's teaching will stay with me forever; as will my gratitude and love for him. Be at peace in the Pure Land, beloved!
In eternal gratitude, Thay
This is the BEST Introduction of Mindfulness Meditation that I have searched and studied since 15 years. Thank you ZenSensei Thich Nhat Hanh.
🙏🧘🧘♀️🧘♂️🙏
Breathing with my Apple Watch seemed like a chore. After listening to your lecture I went to my back porch to look at the trees and grass. Then I took off my shoes to touch the earth again. I sat down in the cool grass and enjoyed breathing and thanking the trees for their shade and oxygen. I enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels come closer to me. Then my border collie stretched out next to me and taught me how to stretch, relax and enjoy the sky and clouds! I have not felt this happy and peaceful for a long time! Thank you for inviting me to touch the earth.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice 🙏
Thank you for sharing your positive and beautiful experience with all of us!
I need to do the same thing 🙏
I love ur description of ur experience of mindfulness & breathing in nature. That is why Iove gardening, feeding & watching birds, and tending 2 the flowers.
One of my favorite lectures of all time
Love you so much and forever Thay. You are so beloved. What a wonderful life you led.
Thich Nhat Hanh is a living Buddha. Thank you
I agree!!
I listen to this so much. I always put it on when I want to relax after work. I’m so glad we have some recordings while he is still alive with us!
At 4am when I cant sleep and my mind is in the river, I listen to Hahn and I begin to live deeply for he is a master of true joy. He gives an amazing gift that can never die. He is right. He is alive and close when we are aware of the kingdom of Gd on earth.
Your loving presence will live forever ❤🙏
Beautifully said......I agree completely 🙏🏼🌎🙏🏼
His voice is so soft and loving as he tells us about the mistakes we’re making in our ways of thinking that can cause dangerous stress and rob us of the experience of our lives!
What a beautiful and profound meditation in this troubling and challenging times in our life. I am forever grateful and you are not faraway. You are in our soul and spirit within us. You will be missed physically but you are in our hearts eternally. 🙏❤
im a vietnamese people
i start meditate and i m very proud of thay Thich Nhat Hanh cause he is a vietnamese too
Thích Nhất Hạnh là một trong những giáo viên thiền vĩ đại nhất mọi thời đại và Việt Nam nên rất tự hào về những thành tựu và đóng góp to lớn của ông cho hòa bình thế giới!

Michael Calonne What the heck does that mean????
It is making white soft wings grow where we have our Shoulder blades and our feets will feel like soft cotton wrapped in silk fabricks when we walk. And when we shit, the shit will be like soft honey.
Being in Covid during Holy Week Thich’s teaching are a gift to me. I feel the peace and gift of life from God .thank you
Thank you for uploading this. I have listened many times and it always brings me back to center . Peace to all!
You're welcome 🙂
I've listened to it many times too and you're right. It does always bring back to center.🙏🏻🙏🏻
His voice is like nectar, soft, gentle & calming.
I could listen all day & night.
Beautiful sentiments.....🙏🙏
This has been so life affirming for me - I listen repeatedly and get life back. Thank you so much for posting.
You are very welcome Andy! 🙏
Yes I agree with Andy this is been life affirming for me also I couldn’t said it better myself thank you
There is so much negativity that comes across our digital platforms. It's really nice to have a pure jolt of goodness like this wonderful lecture from a beloved teacher.
Big Respect to that Teacher! He speeks out true facts that people are going to loose while getting in digital isolation..
Grazie dear Thay. Have now listen to you for some years and you are wonderful. For me you are still alive 37:05 ☸️🕉️☮️💙💙💙
I feel so much love for you so much that I keep listening to you and your voice each time I am sitting in meditation with my eyes closed, I have so much love for your beautiful self and what you are sharing with us. The softness the grace the gentleness in you in is itself takes my deeper self to experience the truth. Thankyou
From now on I know how to walk , how to appreciate the earth. Touch deeperly .thankfully,mindfully!
Thay, the master of spiritual life speaks his words and repeatedly emphasizes thoughts with meditative words echoing permanently in his teaching. His words become sacred, light and therefore loving embracing the universe. Thay is love, and only love. I am woken up every time I listen to him, humbled to tears, wanting to always come back to his transforming teaching.
Amen 🙏
Mooi, Nice i like what yu says. I just was thinking exactly the same😁😀🙏🏾🌈💥💥 i have the feeling : I love tjay
Thank you 🙏be present ... the flower, the mountain , the water reflecting , kiss the earth... so profoundly said..
I read that Thich Naht Hahn had a stroke several years ago and returned to Viet Nam. I think he is 94 now. Glad so many of his lectures are available.
He's an amazing human being and his words are deeply fortified by his lifelong experience with meditation. So happy he's still with us!
Currently he’s at Plum Village Thailand. The last part of March I will get to go there with lovingworkretreats@gmail.com. You might want to go to their site and check them out. I am really excited because of his stroke he probably will not be speaking to us. Take care
I can listen to this wonderful man for the rest of my life. Thankyou for your teaching I feel blessed. 🙏🌈😌
I feel the same way. I've listened to this great teaching many times over the years and it always teaches me something new.
May we live each day of our lives with mindfulness 🙏
"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🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️

🌱 Thank you 🇻🇳 from Viet Nam
🙏🏼🌹Beloved Thay, I will always drink my tea slowly, as if it were the axis on which the world revolves. 🌹❤️
This meditation video has a remarkable effect on physical and mental suffering. Thankyou from my heart to Thich for all you are doing. ☀️🌺🐬
I just can’t thank you enough I’m lost with words I felt through my life I was that child I’m in the middle of watching this video I just wanna tell you how grateful I am for you thank you

By far my favorite meditative lesson, pure and simple. With much gratitude.
This has been my favorite meditation teaching for a long time.🙏🙏🙏
I've not practice this but I'm already feeling so much peace.
Beautiful man. Miss him.
I always smile when I listen to Thay 💖🙏🏼🥳
Me too 🤠
Rest In Peace , my spiritual leader🙏🏼
Wow, thank you for letting me know! 😢🙏🏼
A true Buddhist Master has just entered Paranirvana! 🙏🏼🌎🙏🏼
This Monk speaks softly and compassionately .Understanding is very easy .I am yet to find one instruction which is difficult to understand and practice. His looks sokes me in immense compassion. RP
Thousand thanks for your kind generosity to teach us how to live an easy life and meaningful one.
I agree. Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh. Glad you are benefiting from the video.🙏🙏
Time does not heal all wounds
because only breathing can
since,
even in a wound,
there is a power to heal
for my body loves me.
Beautiful and wise words to greet us on this Friday morning Satnamo. Thank you.
🙏🏼🙋🙏🏼
Maybe there is nothing to heal. Maybe in their own way the wounds are a great gift. They can give you perspective, sensitivity and gratefulness.
Infinito Agradecimiento.
😊🙏🌸
I Miss you 🙏
So calming. His guidance has helped me find joy in meditation. 🙏✨
This message comes to me in the perfect moment...Namaste
From all meditation the one conducted by him was the most effective for me
"What you imagine you create" I keep this with me everyday. Lord Buddha walks with me and in me 24.7
Good stuff Vic! Thank you for sharing!
🙏
“The body is not me” = The form or appearance is gone but the core is still there.
Thankyou so much for this video it helped me to transform my self from sorrow to happiness ❤
Such a great teacher I love and always appreciate his teachings may God give peace and tranquility to everyone who practices mindfulness and breaks the chain of suffering in us permanently.Thank you Teacher 🌹🌹🙏🙏
And I. Know Thay has become cloud🙏🙏🙏🙏 will follow you voice always 🙏🙏🙏
what a gift to have him present... thank you..Thay, master
I just started listening to his message 2 weeks ago. I am so thankful for your wisdom. 💕
Brings peace just listening to him
I agree 😊🙏
@@WindTreeStudios Thankyou, for sharing this gem. 🙏🏻
You're welcome. I used make CD copies and give them out to friends.
@@WindTreeStudios That is a bful service!
It was fun. Made a couple hundred copies that way. CZcams is a lot more fun and easier.
So good can listen over and over so needed in this world🙏 gratitude for his life🙏
I agree completely Ana. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you very much to Thich for such a great lecture and for his calm and presence, and also to Douglas J. O' Brien for uploading.
You're very welcome! Studying and practicing meditation is not an easy thing and it is my pleasure to share such a great teaching with the world!
Thank you for sharing. I think I found the best introduction to mediation. 💕
You're welcome. I agree, this is the best introduction to meditation I've ever heard too. 🙏
Comparison is the thief of joy.
The easiest way to get into a meditative state is by listening:
Let my ears hear what ever they want to hear-without naming.
Thank you for this, Thich. Your teachings help millions.
I feel blessed this day, to have come across this meditative talk ❤

To listen to hundreds of free talks by Thich Nhat Hanh, go to the Plum Village channel here on CZcams. It’s the official channel for the monastery he founded in France. That’s where the monks and nuns of Plum village regularly post videos by Thich Nhat Hanh. That’s also where you can donate if you like.
True
Just for the record, I give people the opportunity to make donations on all of my videos. I have not received any donations from this Thich Nhat Hanh lecture I have posted. In total, my channel has brought in roughly $80 since I began posting in 2006. A pittance. I do see that my donation request on this video is upsetting to some viewers and will remove that from the description now. May All Beings Experience Dharma Without Distraction🙏🙏
Thay is teaching me what life is meant to be and that I can have it right here, right now. Apparently, life seems to be happening every day, all the time, every moment. I have lots of "practice" breathing; what in the world should I allow to prevent me from having this life, when all I need to do is breathing practice!
God bless you and your family and people Brother Thich Nhat Hahn!
I love this man!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful teaching. Oui, oui, oui: merci, merci, merci. 🙏🏻
Here I am again… feeling this needed meditation. I just listened to The Bell Chant, as I do so often, and now, I’m listening to this again. How many times will I listen until I am dedicated with the conviction needed? I guess those efforts will never end. The path is ongoing. I am so thankful for the reminder of the journey in this teaching. PEACE. 🍃🌸🍃🌳🌲🌳🌲🌈🌈🌈🌧️🌨️🌤️🌩️🌈🌈🌈🌲🌳🌲🌳🍃🌸🍃
You are not alone Kathy! I think of the Earth as a Dharma Boot Camp. It's an extremely challenging environment here designed to yield specific results over time. May all of our Karma ripen into lasting confidence to practice our meditations with diligence for the benefit of others!
@@WindTreeStudios thank you 🍃🌸🍃
@@WindTreeStudios😊😅😮
Essential training for life
So simple it's easy to be under-estimated. I'll listen again, and again...thanks for sharing! Namaste!
You're welcome 😊
Let the whole work learn mindful ness. Blessings to our dear monks for this enlightenment.
Very true priceless guidance, blessed are the people who realize the benefits, many many Thanks 😊 🙏
This teaching was freely shared with me and I'm happy to pass it along. This is the essence of Buddhist oral transmission.
Thich Nhat Hanh gave me so much hope under a period of hopefullness. I realised that i need to help others that suffer from stuff i did. That you dont need to suffer more than it is. Just to plant a seed in people. We love money, right? But our wellbeing is cruical, the most important.
The purity of his mind is almost more pure than a little child. It's amazing to hear and see. Hard to find such angels
I need to let my cows go for sure. And then those cows are my children as well, and I know they will always be with me in my heart. Letting go it's the key for better out comes
TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL❣🌹
Thank you. This is so beautiful and most helpful. I will listen again and again... and practice mindfulness breathing until it becomes natural.
Thank you so much to upload this video. During the working day and getting lost in my mind, listening to this bring me back to myself and present moment. And everyday I try to introduce more mindfullness in my life, even in the most stressful moments. This video is pure gold and makes me a better person. It reminds me to appreciate the mother nature, to be still and kind toward myself and others. Thank you again.
You're very welcome Jasmina. This video is pure gold especially in our age of information overload and distraction. Coming back to the present moment is a blessing!
Most wonderful! I cannot find words!🌺🍀🌸
🙏🙏🙏😄😄
How peaceful!! Being mindful is sooo nice!! Thank you very much for your message ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😌😌😌

Thank you, teacher. And thank you to all those here who are awakening along side me. I love you
Good stuff!
Thich sir is a blessing to me. 🥰

Finally a video of his where that lady is not coughing in the background. Hooray!!!
23:53 Breathing in, I feel a tickle in my throat. Breathing out, I cough or sneeze. Sometimes I fart, too. 🕊️❤️🌹

Infinite Love ❤
Thank you for opening my eyes, i have never mediated before : i can confess to loving Tree's

Mary Canada 🍁
You're welcome Mary. Thich's insight of seeing the whole Cosmos in a tree often passes through my mind and is a lovely reminder of interdependence. 🙏🏻
Best meditation ever
Rakesh Chopra I agree Rakesh!
Does this man have the most gentle aura?
