- This is the first Dharma talk by Thay for the Summer Opening 2014 in Lower Hamlet.
Mindfulness is a kind of energy that everyone of us can generate. Mindfulness allows us to be aware of what is going on in our body, feelings, perceptions, in our mind, around us and in the world. You can define mindfulness as the kind of energy that allows us to aware of what is happening in the here and now. If you are not in the here and now, you cannot know what is happening in the here and now.
Life and all the wonders of life are available only in the here and now. Mindfulness helps us go home to the here and now and get in touch with life. We have an appointment with life. That appointment takes place in the present moment. If you miss the present moment, you miss your appointment with life.

I’m so grateful I found Thay, I listen to his teachings everyday. I was at an awful point in my life, in complete forgetfulness and wasting my life worrying about the future. I feel my life is turning around as I learn how to live mindfully. Thank you for being there for all of us
😊😊😊😊😊
The voice of the child happily playing adds to the beauty of the talk Very beautiful
When I'm listening to Thich Nhat Hanh, I'm turning back to the here and now. 🧘♀️
Thay is inspirational. He's a poet
I absolutely love how he says the word ‘mud’. Grateful for his lightness. 💯
THANK you for showering bliss and peace in so many of us in so many ways 😍
"Good morning dear Sangha...😊"
God, I love him. Thank you Plum Village for sharing these teachings with us. 🙏💖
the dharma teach me to touch the present moment , to smell the present , to taste the present , to hear and listen to the present , to feel the present , to see the present .The present that I used to live in like a robot to function in the society , now I am awaken and breath my first breathe of life , like a first breath of a baby just get out of the mother womb . thank you Thay .
Thank you, dear Thay. Listening to this with an open heart. Thank you for all that you have revealed to us. So simple, so deep.
Even as my cat Misty comes next to me, she is calm through Thay’s whole talk and seems to be listening ❤️ reminding me of how she, like every flower, and all beings bring us more reminders of the wonder of life.
❤wonderfully simple but profoundly very deep. His words continuously strike intuitively musical chords of harmony, Peace & Joy in my heart ♥️ Gratitude fills my soul. Thank you.
The part about the eyes really touched me. This is such a beautiful and deep teaching. Sometimes teachings on thankfulness and gratitude sound hollow and insincere to me. The way he spoke of gratitude was easy to feel in my heart. I truly felt this teaching, finally. Thank you so much for leaving this teaching 🙏🏽
Gratitude 🙏
you guys are great!!
Suffering is good to produce lotus of happiness. How to make suffering transform to compassion, happiness. Thank you my Thay
I don’t control my breath, I just watch my breath. In, out. Listen to your voice, Thay - it slows down.
A simple phrase like; “stay focused,” is often said and heard but seldom understood.
Gracias Thay , I love you ♡
This introduction to life through the elements of Concentration is for me a reminder of how living in the here and the now gives insight into the nature of no birth and no death. In this example of drinking our cloud brings me again and again to this image of drinking our tea, and touches my mind with the elements of nature in our daily life. For me, this dharma talk brings Joy.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you venerable Thay, this is one more of your excellent teachings. I appreciate a lot. Evangelina Cortes.
If the true nature of the cloud is no birth and no death, then my own nature is the nature of no birth and no death. Thưa Thầy, nhờ bài giảng về chánh niệm của thầy con đã hiểu rõ bản chất của chúng ta là không sinh ra và không chết đi mà chỉ là chuyển từ dạng này sang dạng khác mà thôi :) con chúc Thầy luôn khỏe mạnh, con tri ân Thầy
Grateful dharma
I AM Very wealthy as I’ve understood you Master Brother
Thank You for answering my questions 🙏
Very good morning my Great Teacher. THANKS A LOT. Listening to you one more time I can recognize how much I have to learn. I'm doing my best, and one of that thing is listening to you and practice step by step your excellent teachings. Lots of hugs Thay. Evangelina Cortes.
I'm just a regular 'dummy', but this teaching is very useful and produces excellent results, even if practiced in my somewhat desultory way. Thank you so much, Thay.
Thank U so much for beaitiful message -Happiness is here and now. Celebrating life now, seeing Kingdom of god with our eyes by using the energy of mindfulness. Creating and developing the habit of happiness.....🙏🙏👏🦋💐🌞🌏

Basis of Budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . The necessity of Budhism is impermanence sufferings and concept of no soul . Budhism guides us to stay in human world and heavens until final stage is attained 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏❤️
i wonder what you monks and nuns think about "honest sharing" by Gopal Norbert Klein? I think it´s very much a spiritual practice. best regards!
I love this but the continuous coughing and that child ?
Wait why does the kanji for samadhi looks like the one for foot?? I hope someone has the answer 🤔
The one drawn by Thich doesn’t match ‘foot’ completely - his has a mark at the top of the box part.
💕🌈🎈
this symbol is 'read' in google translate for chinese. 念 - how did it become 'mindfulness'?
In chinese there are 2 "read" :
讀 = read
念 = read (mindfully)
Just like in English there are 2 words of "hearing the sound":
Hear = hear the sound
Listen = hear (mindfully)
I'm not really good in English, but hope you can understand😂
@@charlottesunny1236 yes, I totally get it! Thank you for explaining/clarifying that! :-)
It is also affected by the breakdown of the constituent parts. As Thich explained, the top part of his character means ‘now’ and the bottom part is mind/heart/sound.
Nam Mo A Di Da Phat ...... Dear Thay I can see the gift of Mindfulness is one that you are passionate about. You explain so clearly it's benefits in this Dharma talk. The people of Vietnam gave me many gifts - but I feel the greatest one was being introduced to your teachings. I am forever grateful
Stop bringing babies to these things 🙄 ffs 🤦🏻♂️
The child needs a nap it’s a tired cry. Child should not be made to attend. Child is suffering and then brings suffering to others.
