Who here is having a tough year this year? Just keep coming back home to the heart and allowing the toxins to flow out of your body with each breath! Isn’t it so healing to breathe like that ❤ If you want to change then you will! Focus on building the stamina to face your fears. Little by little, like chopping down a tree for firewood. One day it just falls over and you knocked down the tree! Just like that. Also, that is just one tree, there might need to be many trees cut down this winter in order to survive. But once you have done it once then you know you can do it again! And it’s ok to live with so much work to do and still be happy We can be happy while we are healing at the same time I’ve recently learned to allow myself to relinquish control Control over myself Over the world And in this process I’ve been able to tap into the heart of myself Into the truth of myself The place where both sadness and happiness resides At the core I’ve realized this because I’ve also accepted that I am not just me but I am everything, and as soon as I recognize that over and over it becomes my safe zone. Because my burden is not mine alone And I can allow my burden to also be taken over by the existing powers of the universe I can let my burdens be handled by god So yes I’m still here I’m still working And I’m working towards healing us Because wether we know it or wether we like it or not we are healing everything when we heal ourselves And we can’t do it alone So thank you for being there And thank you for being you Because without you I know there would be no me 🙏🏼🤲🏼🪷🤲🏼🙏🏼 A lotus for you Is a lotus for me
I feel like this has been a rough and disappointing year for me on a number of levels. We need to do what you’ve suggested. Breathe through the difficulties. It’s hard to see the spiritual connection in the current status of world events. We spiritual beings are out there and sending love, peace and joy to all. It’s nice to be here listening to this brave kind man. Talk about walking through his fear. He has had his share of that. It’s good to listen to his teaching before his physical set backs that occurred in later years.
The Other Shore (a new translation of the Heart Sutra with commentaries) by Thay is my practice now. Nirvana is freedom and can be attained by daily practice. It slips and slides with events but coming home to our body is the true home and interbeing is the true path. Thank you for this beautiful video of import to sustain practice. I enjoy being reminded with the smiles and commentary of Thich Nhat Hanh with the record of his voice "presence". Blessings.
Thank you for the upload of this talk. I would like to share this with someone who is hard of hearing but I noticed the closed caption isn’t perfect. I read in the description it was subtitled. Is the C.C. what it is referring to as subtitled?
I wonder how this would have worked in a situation where you are enslaved by an invading force, and forced to work hard labor without food... "I just need a refresher"
You are listening to the correct person then, do you know who brother thay is? Or his brother, martin luther king? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%ADch_Nh%E1%BA%A5t_H%E1%BA%A1nh
God bless, thats why enlightenment and being with God In Jesus name is important. When you do, nothing can stop you. And you can manage pain when you train your brain and focus on God. Listen to the people in the comments cuz they also understand too

We can be happy while we are healing at the same time
I’ve recently learned to allow myself to relinquish control
Control over myself
Over the world
And in this process I’ve been able to tap into the heart of myself
Into the truth of myself
The place where both sadness and happiness resides
At the core
I’ve realized this because I’ve also accepted that I am not just me but I am everything, and as soon as I recognize that over and over it becomes my safe zone.
Because my burden is not mine alone
And I can allow my burden to also be taken over by the existing powers of the universe
I can let my burdens be handled by god
So yes I’m still here
I’m still working
And I’m working towards healing us
Because wether we know it or wether we like it or not we are healing everything when we heal ourselves
And we can’t do it alone
So thank you for being there
And thank you for being you
Because without you I know there would be no me
🙏🏼🤲🏼🪷🤲🏼🙏🏼
A lotus for you
Is a lotus for me
Thank you for taking the time to write, the bloom of the lotus is interbeing with the mud, water, air, stars, and yes, us, as well.

You could still become enlightened by practising Zen. Your suffering would be less and maybe a miracle ✨️ would happen. 😌
Thay lived through much danger and insane violence in that just that situation, during the Vietnam war…

@@naturalphilosophy9649God bless, exactly let the people know.
Regular people 😂
Thank you for this great teaching. Happy holidays. Peace to all of you.
