    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Zen meditation master Thich Nhat Hanh offers his practical teachings about how to bring love and mindful awareness into our daily experience. Kind, purposeful, and illuminating, here is an abundant treasure of traditional gathas (teachings) that unify meditation practice with the challenges we face in today's world.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    I receive many touching comments on the Thich Nhat Hanh videos, and I'm really happy they have managed to reach so many people, and I'm able to help spread his timeless and invaluable teachings. I hope if they have been inspiring and meaningful for you that you can either buy the original recordings or donate to Plum Village, to help contribute to the beautiful and important work that is being done there.
    I should also mention that this channel is not monetized in any way. The adverts you see are automatically generated by CZcams and I can't switch them off.
    Thank you.

    I was unhappy most of the time and this discontentment was causing me adverse effects and was alienating me from people who I constantly judged. It took a lot of effort to put meditation as a priority. I changed my diet too and began taking a walk outside most days and journaling. It has helped.

    19:31 really taught me a valuable lesson. I suffer from hallucinations on a daily basis, but understanding the emotions of fear i feel and understanding that I’m the only thing that’s real is why I live. Buddhism has so much to teach the world, and I cannot be more thankful to this man and the mindset he shares.

    Mantras:
    I smile to my eyes - I am happy to have eyes so that I can see
    I see my self as a flower - I feel fresh
    I see my self as a mountain - I feel solid
    I see my self as still water - I reflect things as they are
    I see my self as space - I am free
    I am alive - I smile to my self
    ❤️❤️❤️ Thich Nhat Hanh

    Im staying with my parents to survive covid. We are getting along and learning. Ive been at odds with them for most of my life. Ive been listening to, and practicing the meditations and breathing for about 4 months now. Getting in touch with my own suffering and sorrow; attending to them in ways new to me. I listen to the book The Art of Peaceful Communication, also by thich. Its been life changing. I learn more each day. In breathe. Out breathe. I always start there.
    Thank you.

      SuperSportFitness ... thank you for saying this. I’m about to travel to FL to visit my mother who is now in hospice. My brother and wife who live there are extremely aggressive and think Covid is a ‘scamdemic.’ I struggle with being in their company so I’m preparing myself mentally. I’m feeling very nervous and apprehensive. Breathe

    • @holm3165
      @holm3165 Před rokem

      May I ask, what it exactly means. Does it mean always to accept whatever comes? Or does it also mean to have a broaden view on the current world. Please let me use an example: because I am I'll, I cannot go to holiday. I am very sad and angry. Should the proper reaction be: yes I am angry and sad and I am accepting it. Or should also be another factors be involved like surrounding sounds, the nature to see that this is not the central and the only point of my life. I would very appreciate, if someone could explain it to me. I am struggling with this aspect.

    2:13 in / out | breathing in, I know that I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know that I am breathing out.
    9:30 eyes / smile | Breathing in I am aware of my eyes, Breathing out I smile to my eyes.
    14:12 flower / fresh | Breathing in, I see myself as a flower. Breathing out, I feel fresh.
    18:32 Mountain / Solid | Breathing in, I see myself as a mountain. Breathing out, I feel solid.
    22:49 Water / Reflecting | Breathing in, I seel myself as still waters. Breathing out, I reflect things as they are (own interpretation)
    26:07 Space / Free | Breathing in, I see myself as space. Breathing out, I feel free

    “Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die.” From: ‘At Home in the World’ by Thich Nhat Hanh - published in 2016. 21.1.22.🙏

    I was raised Christian, in the Baptist church...although I have always had These Teachings in me. I have always been drawn to the peacefulness of this way of life. Mindfulness, meditations, Crystal healing, gong therapy and Chakra balance. There is really no transition to this from Christianity, because love is All and All is love, if it is within you.

    • @paragozar

    @1:00 Thank you for much for this Thich Nhat Hanh. If i ever become a father.you explain Very important points. Parents of mine was unaware of some seeds of suffer and it affected for a long time from childhood to adulthood. Til i opened up. This is a good lesson to everyone who wanna become a parent. If you cant deal with you suffering, u will plant the suffering in the child to. When someone makes me suffer i alwayys now use the power of compassion since we know that a peron who suffer makes other suffer if it doesn't takke care of.
    You are a gift to the world Thich Nhat Hanh. With such insightm or maybe some call it enlightment is lacking today in the society i live in. I see a lot of suffering and you motivated me to help people suffer less. You are my biggest teacher

    At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying
    different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world
    when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired
    of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then
    there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need
    to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from
    everything around him and whatever happening inside or outside of him.
    Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to
    understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there
    comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by
    unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he
    will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw and met
    this person before and everything looks utterly new.

I always felt as Buddhist feel about life... morals, peace, love ,mindfulness, forgiveness, non-attatchment,and so on. However , I never knew Buddhism (or much about it I should say). A trip home from Chicago , two friends, one of which bought me a book by Thich Nhat Hanh. That book tied together my life with Buddhism. I guess you could say it found me. Thank you ,Thich Nhat Hanh, James, Darla, and each one of you. I'm forever grateful. 🙏🕉
