    It's no random accident I found this teaching today. I'm very grateful for this. Thank you. I feel deeply touched by Thay's words. Partly because I lost a son to suicide, and he was suffering with schizophrenia for many years beforehand. Something in this teaching has brought some acceptance, peace and understanding.

    Karma. (Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, Winter Retreat of 2008)
    In Buddhism we speak of karma as the threefold aspect of action; thinking, speaking and acting. When we produce a thought, that thought can change us and can change the world in a good way or in a bad way. If it is right thought, if that thought is produced in line with right thinking, then it will have a healing, nourishing effect on our body and on the world. Just by producing right thinking you can change the world. You can make the world a better place to live, or you can transform the world into hell. That is karma, action; this is not something abstract. For example, the economic crisis is born from our thinking. There is a lot of craving and fear, and the value of the dollar, of the euro is largely created by the mind. Everything comes from the mind. That is why thinking is action and speaking is action. Speaking can release tension and reconcile, or speaking can break relationships. Speaking can destroy someone’s hope and cause that person to commit suicide. Physical action is also energy.
    There is individual karma that has an effect on everyone. Everything that happened to you happened to the world. You produce that thought, you are affected by that thought, and the world is also affected by that thought. There is also collective karma. During this twenty-one-day retreat, the friendship, the joy, the healing, the transformation is the work of everyone. Each one of us contributes through our practice, through our insight, through our speech. In Buddhism, we do not believe in a God that arranges everything, but we don’t believe in coincidence either. We believe that the fate of the planet depends on our karma, on our action. It does not depend on a God, it does not depend on chance, it depends on our true action. Karma is the dynamic force that underlies everything. I think that scientists will have no difficulty accepting this.
    Man is present in all things and all things are present in man. Man just arrived yesterday in the history of life on earth. Looking into a human being, we can see our non-human elements, namely our animal ancestors, our vegetable ancestors, and our mineral ancestors. In our past life we were a cloud, and we were a rock. Even in this moment, we continue to be a cloud, we continue to be a rock. There is a mountain in us, do you see? There are many clouds in us, do you see?
    In a former time, we were fish, we were birds, we were reptiles. And our ancestors are fully present in us, in the here, in the now. We continue as a reptile. We have many reactions that belong to the reptile species. We want to say that we are created by a God in his image. But in fact, we have many ancestors. When a fish swims happily in the water, it is very proud of its talent for swimming. And a fish has the right to say that God must be the most wonderful swimmer in the world. And a rose can say, “God is the most beautiful rose in the world, because he has created me like this.” If you are a mathematician, you tend to think God must be the best mathematician in the world. Your notions of God are anthropocentric. If you are a gay person, you may think that God is the best gay person in the world. Why not? The fish has that right, the rose has that right, so we all inter-are. We continue our ancestors in us now. We are human, but we are at the same time a rock, a cloud, a rabbit, a rose, a gay, a lesbian. We are everything. Let us not discriminate or push away anything, because we are everything. Everything is in us. That’s the right view.
    If we see that everything is in man and man is in everything, we know that to preserve other species is to preserve ourselves. That is deep ecology, that is interbeing. That is the teaching of the Diamond Sutra. A good Buddhist should be an ecologist, trying her best to preserve the environment, because to preserve the environment is to preserve yourself. Man contains the whole cosmos.
    On the phenomenal level there seem to be birth, death, being and non-being, but ontologically, these notions cannot be applied to reality. Birth and death are just notions. The true nature of a cloud is the nature of no birth and no death. The scientist Lavoisier says that nothing is born, nothing dies. He agrees completely with this teaching. A cloud manifests as a cloud. There is no birth of a cloud, because before being a cloud, the cloud has been the tree, the ocean, the heat generated by the sun. To appear as a cloud is only a moment of continuation. And when a cloud becomes a river, that is not death, that is also a continuation. We know that there is a way to continue beautifully, and that is to take care of our three aspects of karma - thinking, speaking and acting.
    Being and non-being are more wrong views. Non-being is a wrong view, but being is also a wrong view. The absolute reality transcends both being and non-being. Before you are born, you did not belong to the realm of non-being, because from non-being, you cannot pass into being. And when you die, you cannot pass from being into non-being. It’s impossible. To be, or not to be - both are wrong views. To inter-be is better.
    The dynamic consciousness is called karma energy. Karma energy is not abstract. It determines our state of being, whether we are happy or unhappy. Whether you continue beautifully or not so beautifully depends on karma. It’s possible to take care of our action so that we don’t suffer much now and we will continue to do better in the future. There is the hope, the joy.

      I'm born a Catholic but Buddhism makes perfect sense for everyday consciousness.
      For eg people like Hitler or dictators who lead by greed and fear...
      Humans are super intelligent but observing animals they are more enlightened than us!
      For every human being who has free will it is a choice just like happiness.

      Julia L from what I got from the teacher, I think we need compassion and kindness to forgive ourselves so then we can forgive others. By doing that we will be able to transform anger into something nice. Like a good thought for the person who hurt us o that we did hurt. After that, a good chat with that person, always on the compassion path; explain my pain and listen to theirs. Also, always with kindness. Teach them how to be compassionate and be kind to others.
      I think that's what the master is trying to say. Correct me if I'm wrong.-

      Julia L, many of the video clips of Thich Nhat Hanh and the worldwide Plum Village community can be viewed with subtitles if you click on link given under the video.
      The freedom or free will I find is based on mindfulness of the present moment, because it is only in the present that I can live and act. Having a practice that allows me to stop and look deeply at what brings joy and what brings sorrow, and the practice of the 5 Mindfulness Trainings, give me a chance to choose more freely in the present moment.
      I wish you a beautiful day.

    Two humble thoughts..
    1. This is profound and reminds me of Buddha and the lotus flower being used to compare with four types of human beings and their ability to understand. Maybe this explains why some comments here seem to evidence that some people cannot grasp, resist or don't even try to contemplate through meditation what he is teaching/saying.
    2. So many thumbs down is proof alone that we all have different Karma... AND that there are many overly critical and I'll-willed people in this world.

      @@DarkMoonDroid i think "your body is the property of your parents" is talking about our energetic/karmic self, as opposed to (though linked with) our physical self. it does not mean we are disposable and under our parent's will. it means we should practice/make choices good for us (which also, in turn, is the people/energetic forms/energy we inherit/represent, carry in ourselves, reincarnate) though, those things can be interchanged/effected by one another. ultimately my understanding of this is that when we help ourselves learn and grow, etc. it also helps the people (or "people") inside us, as well as outside of us, as they are essentially one in the same. i hope this helps make sense of things.

      The same goes for the parents... they don't have specific rights of ownership towards their child, in that their child also has his/ her karma from other places, and belongs to the universe. No one owns anyone... It's more expansive than that. And a parent's behaviour also has it's karmic consequences. For example, an overcontrolling parent may lose their child as soon as the child is able to leave home. A reminder that life cannot be owned, a painful lesson.

    There is a sense in which the individual is ontological subordinate to the collective. The universe in its totality imposes the local constraints that cause any particle anywhere to appear and behave as it does. Since the particles create the things of the world, and the indivudal living things are a function and expression of this process, all things are ultimately tied into the universal Being that is the universe in its totality; and those special objects - humans, are able to experience the transcendental basis of things while simultaneously enacting meanings that derive from the matrix of interactions generated by particles in spacetime. Indeed, the is a trinity of the transcendental atemporal, the spatiotemporal fabric which interlinks all things , and the subjective temporal.

    • @DodoStek
      @DodoStek 3 года назад

      "The universe in it's totality imposes" ... "The particles create" ... "that derive" ... What is cause and what is effect? This is because that is and that is because this is. The individual imposes itself on the totality of universe, because of his perceptions the universe actually comes into being. We can see these things from many different valid perspectives.

    • @factsmatter7442
      @factsmatter7442 3 года назад

      @@DodoStek the individuals perceptions are structured ontogenetically. We were born as infants, and have been conditioned to orient our socioaffective responses to the meanings of the body la Guage and vocal tones of others. The individual is very much embedded and reacting. It is passive before the styles of stimuli it encounters and is helpless before the goodness or badness of others. The moods we end up evolving are therefore consequences of the cultural dynamics that we happened to have been exposed to from conception onwards. Playing games with causal ordering like asking what is cause and what is effect is therefore dishonest. For example, I am very much responding, being affected, by what you have written. Having read what you've written, I am as an effect being placed into a particular emotional condition. I am the cause of this response? Besides being regulated by an already existing sense of conceptual coherence, I am of course set to relate to matters in certain ways. But my response is nevertheless temporally posterior to your statements, which makes your statement about what is cause and what is effect essentially unreasonable.

      Some became infertile because blood clotted their organ down there and they are now infertile.
      These are DOCUMENTED facts, not hearsay.

      You do not need to be a monk to nun to change your karma- just being good being skilful and compassionate for yourself and others is changing your karma. Karma is not something you get rid of as it is not inherently negative

    'You' said, 'I don't know what action it is,' interesting, so... this 'I' 'you' referred to... is this the 'NoSelf?' The answer is, No Self, No Problem. There is no self, whether the delusion of the 'I' is used or not.

    Yes ,he is right , the karma is action of individual, put it this way , one person constantly stealing , misbehaving of sexually , and just think he kill a human , and other person , alcoholic and misbehave, and always kill animals and hurt animals , just for example , so these two characters Karma will be different form in their life cycle , because one has killed a human , so he has committed much more sins , so his collective karma will be different than other person , that’s how the karma can be different from one to another . Actually I gave a simple answer , it is very complex and difficult subject to understand karma in easy way ..
    Our Buddha has been able to see himself where people go after death , I mean , person can reborn according their karmic effect , it can be in an animal womb , or human womb , or as a god , or in nire ( hell ) . There are two more places , but I can’t remember them . So Buddha has developed to see himself where people go after death , he said few time to his disciple Ánanda thero and others when they fancies to know when the Buddha was there . That’s why Buddha said , if you did not stick to Dhamma and practice good deeds , you can go to nire, hell and you will spend there thousands of years , so , he realised the danger that humans can face , that’s why he said , please follow Dhamma and arrange your life at least to reborn as human or be a god in there world , then you can do more and more merits in those lives and collect enough merits to attain nirvana and end of birth , end of birth is the last thing you must contemplate to achieve , then no more risks to your life . But if you born in animal womb , then you have no chances to earn merits to collect to attain nirvana , because animals are hardly can collect merits because they have no brain to listen Dhamma in their life , but if you born as a human , you have more chances to listen Dhamma and stick for it . That’s why Buddha explained very well what we as humans must do .

    It's very disrespectful to say suicide is am offence, it's easy to sit and judge in a dualistic way when someone has overwhelming suffering the cannot cope with it, very patronizing indeed, easy to look on and say this, try saying this to a 15 yr old girl being bullied and see how intellect and philosophy helps, its easy to say this from an observers comfort zone and make decision for that, but it's a different story entirely in reality .. this is comfortable middle class zen teaching, very poor. imo and experience. It's not a game, or a study, it's what it is for the person. very shallow to judge like that, shows limit.

    • @soap6939
      @soap6939 2 года назад +1

      I disagree. I don't think it is said to shame anyone. It is just fact that if someone commits suicide, their family will suffer, their friends will suffer, it is a butterfly effect, although the victim here may not see this. An unskilled mind will be prone to suffering -- suicide is the result of someone battling their suffering and losing, much like someone with cancer. We do not need to be angry at them or cast blame on them to point out the way their suffering extends to others.

      @JonKolle-nh4bm 5 месяцев назад +1

      I mostly agree with you. I think that as wise as he is and as much as I respect Thich That Hahn, he fails to consider the fact that most of those who choose suicide are experiencing an immense amount of suffering, of various types, and they have likely already tried all they can to improve their health or their situation and have come up empty handed. It is simply wired into the human brain to avoid suffering, and when the suffering becomes absolutely unbearable, suicide becomes a possible choice of the individual. This does not change the fact of course that others will inevitably be negatively affected by the suicide, but it is important to consider all angles of the situation.

      It needs to be put into question if its right to stictly speak of indivdual karma, since you as an isolated identity is a wrong view of yourself already. There is nothing one can do to not effect the world sorrounding yourself and likewise the world that interacts with you, even if you would sit for 20 years in a cave. So indivdual karma is also collective karma and cannot really be seperated from one another. Just as water cannot be seperated from a tree. We speak of a tree, but forget all the other things for it to even exist, which is the entire universe. (Sun (warmth and light), Water, Earth and so on.)
      That is why there is really no "other" and no indivdual karma. It is always one and from the same source.

      If one sees a blind man and laughs or has no compassion and chooses not to put oneself in the blind man’s shoe; one experiences life completely blind to the mystery and sanctity of life.
      Maybe much suffering is in the ancestral lineage and one chooses not to open the heart. Maybe one chooses to live in the past and not recognize the person in front of them is to teach them compassion. Maybe it easier to be a drug lord, be involved in human trafficking and live out ancestral scars then it is to wake up and heal.
      Maybe it’s easier to waste this life, remain spiritually bankrupt, and continue the karma of inhumanity towards humanity.
