How can we embrace our ancestors that we have never met?
This and the below questions were addressed by Brother Phap Huu and Sister True Dedication in this "a-la-carte Dharma Talk".
* How can we understand our deep suffering from our store consciousness, especially circumstances inherited from our family?
* How do I practice compassion and reconciliation when I’ve decided to cut ties or establish boundaries with family members?
* What is the difference between letting go and giving up?
* What are your experiences while meditating?
* How to keep a balance between attachment and support in spiritual friendships?
Did you know that even zen monks and nuns have boundaries and need to know their own capacities while practicing mindfulness in the sangha? Brother Phap Huu and Sister Hien Nghiem shared their personal experiences on the importance of having spiritual friendships, supporting one another on the path, and that by setting boundaries, we are compassionate to ourselves and love is more accessible for others when we are recharged.
Acknowledging our capacities in our individual practice, we imagine ourselves sitting on a boat peeking at our suffering. We don’t need to go seeking for the sea monsters deep in the abyss of our store consciousness. With the practice of mindfulness, our suffering naturally arise from our store consciousness. When suffering or habits arises, we can be curious and ask “who are you?” Allowing us to be curious about which of our ancestors are present in us; whether or not we have met them. When we come to retreats, we think that we are going “alone.” In fact, we are bringing our whole family and ancestral lineage. If we are lucky, we will be renewed and have a deeper taste of what it means to be human.

I like Plum village because they bring us simple ideas in Buddhism so that most of us can practice and enjoy the inner peace in our mind and heart ❤️
Thank you Thay，thank you Shanga 🙏🏻🌻
Just seeing the brother and sister smiling is enough for me. 🙏
Thank you for bringing me so much joy
And thank you for everyone who contributed to this discussion 🙏 ❤️
Insights were wonderful. In addition, one could simply tap into their energy and feel some beautiful seeds inside oneself being watered. They inspire me very much to become more humble, honest and happy. Thanks for this dharma talk :)
Beautiful 🌹🥀🥀🌹
Ich bin so dankbar, regelmäßig oder wann immer es mir ein Bedürfnis ist, online an den Dharmatalks teilnehmen zu dürfen. Es gibt so viel Wärme und Wahrhaftigkeit und ich fühle mich regelrecht mit der Community geistig verbunden. Ein wahrer Schatz in der heutigen Zeit, welche den inneren Frieden und Liebe in Achtsamkeit nährt. Der Nebel des Egos wird allmählich durch die Klarheit des Göttlichen aufgelöst. Vielen, vielen Dank dafür!
so thankful
These insights are very helpful, thank you for sharing 🙏
Dear sister and brother, thank you for your answers! I found the question-and-answer buffet a wonderful way to hear the Dharma 🙏
Brother phab huu, I listen to you on your podcast. I just want to let you know you gives me strength and peace whoever I listen to you. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and wisdom.
Just
listening,
breathing,
the wind outside,
the storm of thoughts,
awareness of all coming and going.
Thank you so much for pulling (me) in
🍀🍽
Dear monastics, I always see my grandmother and my father in my hands, in the way I garden and touch the soil. This brings me peace.. Thankyou to you both 💓🌞
Deep gratitude for this talk today. Thank you.
I enjoyed this Dharma buffet very much. Finding space for outselves when we need to be alone and not feeling guilty for it, is what I needed to hear tonight. Lotus to you.
Life become peaceful n happier
thank you Brother and Sister 🙏 for sharing with true spiritual friendship 🌱
When Sister was discussing our connections to our ancestors, I had a good cry. I so enjoyed both of your teachings.
Indeed this is a nourishing meal. So much compassion is shared in each bowl of goodness. Thank you all for the ingredients and many thanks to the chefs. 🙂
Dear respected and beloved Brother and Sister, i feel very nourished and grateful for what you shared in this session! It is like yu are feeding me to be ready to share in upcoming retreats and meetings.
Sr True Dedication you gave me tools to work with my ancestors in a very concreet way. An idea came up to write for my descendants - the wonderful Anna and Eva (16 and 18 now) about my ancestors of whom they don't know anything and about myself ... thank you both!
Deep gratitude for the valuable Dharma question-answer from the Monastic Sisters, Brothers and practitioners 🍀🙏🙏🙏🍀❤️
This video is very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful, just wonderful that mindfulness has a loving continuity. Much love and respect.
I just want to say thank you so much to both the lay practitioners for your bravery in asking these questions, and to Sister True Dedication and Brother Phap Huu for your deep insights. The relevance of these topics was not immediately apparent to me on a personal level, but through your skill and compassion, the answers turned out to be exactly what I needed to hear at this moment in time. How amazing! 🙏🏼
I simply must add that Sister True Dedication, your willingness to be courageously open and vulnerable is just so beautiful and appreciated. You're able to express things in such a way that the lessons go straight to the heart and are able to register on a different level. Thank you. It gives me so much hope that safe people and places like Plum Village still exist.
I still feel hungry for more dharma food! That was like an appetizer lol 🙏
WOW This is sooo good Thanx
🙏"Solid for Yourself "
This was a banquet of sharing! Thank you so much for your deep and thoughtful words. This will take some time to digest, and will need to listen to this again and again.
Wonderful teacher! So mindful in his style and helpful to listen to and so clear. Thank you!
Thanks for this beautiful sharings and for the participants questions. I remember seeing Br. Phap Huu tears during the chant last year. It was comforting, allowing ourselves to feel the pain and it was also so full of Love and of Thay's presence. 🙏
Thank you so much for this, I love listening to you, you really help me so much
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Beautiful.
Merci💜💜💜
Fantastic!
It’s interesting to compare sunga and questions to food,for me food can be sin,or distraction,once you compare sunga to food,sunga disappears and food is priority

Sister is reframing the question at 5:40, saying how to understand deeper currents, deeper ****? I am not able to understand that word after deeper currents. The transcript and the subtitle says "deeper vague". Is it the right word? Can anyone help please?
The deeper “vagues” (= French word for “waves”)… as the person asking the question is a French-speaker
@@plumvillageonline Ah! I got it. The pronunciation is different in both the languages while the spelling remains the same. Thank you so much. This talk served the purpose of a much-needed healing balm. Thank you, once again. Namaste 🙏
Cook a meal? Ridiculous metaphor.
🙏🏻🤍
