When you sit on your own, you may like to think of the Buddha as sitting with you. You can say, "Dear Buddha, I invite you to sit with me. Please make good use of my back. My back is still good enough. And I know that when you sit, you will make my back upright and relaxed. When you breathe, I know your quality of breathing is very good. Use my lungs to breathe and my back to sit." The Buddha isn't someone outside of you. Inside each one of us there are seeds of mindfulness, peace, and enlightenment. When you sit, you give these seeds a chance to manifest. When you invite the Buddha in you to sit, he will sit beautifully right away. You don't have to do anything, just enjoy his sitting and his breathing. You can say these words to yourself as you follow your breath:
I invite the Buddha to breathe. I invite the Buddha to sit.
I don’t have to breathe. I don’t have to sit.
When you find yourself in a difficult situation or you are feeling too upset or restless to sit, ask the Buddha to do it for you. Then it becomes easy. The next exercise is:
Buddha is breathing. Buddha is sitting.
I enjoy the breathing. I enjoy the sitting.
The next verse is:
Buddha is the breathing. Buddha is the sitting.
I am the breathing. I am the sitting.
In the beginning, you and the Buddha are separate. Then you come closer. The next verse is:
There is only the breathing. There is only the sitting.
There is no-one breathing. There is no-one sitting.
When the Buddha breathes, the quality of breathing is light and easy. When the Buddha sits, the quality of sitting is perfect.
The Buddha doesn't exist outside of the breathing and the sitting. Them is only the breathing and the sitting. There is no breather. There is no sitter. When there is a high quality of breathing or sitting, when thoughts, speech, and action are full of mindfulness and compassion, you know the Buddha is there. There is no Buddha outside of these things. I am breathing. I am sitting. Them is the breathing. There is sitting. There is no one breathing. There is no one sitting.
Joy in the breathing. Peace in the sitting.
Joy is the sitting. Peace is the breathing.

i used this a lot back when i was misguided and struggling with opiate addiction. it helped steer my life in the right direction and introduced me to meditation, your teachings, and what buddhism was really about. i only just recently heard of your passing. i've been clean nearly a year now and meditate every day. you've planted a lot of seeds in this lifetime that will bear good fruit. i can't thank you enough, friend
❤
❤❤
I am also free from opiate addiction for 9 months now. Meditation & Buddhism fills my life with bliss & joy now. I never thought I could be this happy & free without the use of drugs. Hope u are still doing well. 🤍
@@masonclark2530 i'm still going stronger than ever friend, glad to see you've found true freedom and happiness too
The poppy and I have have also at long last parted company.Thankfully. These sessions are wonderful
for maintaining one’s recovery. Namaste.
One of the greatest teachers I've ever known in my lifetime. May you rest in peace, Venerable Thay. We will miss you. I love you. I hope we can finally put your teachings into true practice and lead by loving example.
Well said!
I didn’t realise when the video stopped and just continued sitting there so peacefully for such a long time:::so beautiful
I *½* smiled at this
me too but then the horrible advertisment came :-
"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 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Namo AMITABHA 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽 THẦY vẫn ở mãi trong LÒNG của CHÚNG CON❤️❤️❤️ Dear TEACHER, You will forever stay in our HEART and our MIND ❤️❤️❤️
Completing this meditation today, I became aware of the breath being the connection between us all. The universal connection. I was focusing on calming my mind and slowing down the chatter by being conscious of my breathing. With Thich Nhat Hanhs words guiding my after he invites the bell to chime, I was aware that I was breathing in and out, and that the breath was all I was, not the body doing the breathing, just the breath. The movement, the flow, the force of life, starts and ends with the breath. Without it, there is no awareness. There is nothing. I, or rather awareness, is not the person doing the breathing but the movement of the breath itself. Once all the chatter of the mind ceases, all that is left is the breath. The flow of universal energy all contained in the in breath and out breath. It is what unites us all together and joins us with the world and universe around us. It joins us to the source. It is the source. We are the source.
Although now in my non-meditative state, I feel the awareness of the breath leaving me. I can see why those who practice meditation do so regularly. There is so much to learn from the silence. Thank you for this meditation.

Dear Thay, when I listen to u I know I am paying attention to Mother Earth an the Buddha an Jesus 🙏🏻
I have just discovered you Mr Hanh - my whole body is healing with every breath meditation. Thank you.
Thankfulness to Buddha, Thankfulness to Jesus Christ, Thankfulness to Thich Nhat Hanh.
"Dear Buddha, I invite you to sit with me". This was so beautiful... 22 min of crying and clearing. Peaceful beyond words.
I had the exact same reaction. Meditating for years and this was the first, truly transformative experience I have had.
♥️ glad I’m not the only one who cries during meditation 🧘♀️ I’ve only just started in the last few weeks. I have a lot of healing to do. This meditation is my favourite so far.
I need to remove the shame element from the act of crying.
@@sterlingray3982 Cry. Shamelessly.
Why join the 2?
I was not expecting that type of powerful meditation. Amazing.
He will be greatly missed but his spirit lives on forever and I am truly grateful for his teachings x
So much love for Him
I have been following Thay for the past 10 years and he has changed the trajectory of my life. I am not a Buddhist but I believe in his teachings and love him dearly. This meditation is refreshing and I am so happy I found it, thank you Thay❤

Usually when I meditate I put a timer on for 22 minutes. And then when I stop I feel a clearer mind and more grounded I wanted to try meditation with a Buddhist monk thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. It is very helpful in times like these especially. But it has made me realize that I want to do it everyday, not just in turbulent times

This was very nice experience
Tiep tuc hien nay ...hoa binh
I often bounce into a dream then bounce back out, and I feel that the most logical thing to do at the point of slight discomfort when I bounce out of the dream is to smile to the situation and know it's part of the practice...almost feels like exercising haha
🙏🙏🙏
Cool
Best meditation ever. Thank you 💕💕
