The Miracle of Mindfulness: Thich Nhat Hanh in Conversation with Krista Tippett | TWOII | Ep. #19

- Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh passed away on January 22nd, 2022. As we grieve our dear teacher, we also want to celebrate his enduring legacy with the podcast’s first special edition.
Therefore, we are sharing an edited recording of Thich Nhat Hanh interviewed by Krista Tippett during a USA tour in 2003, at a lakeside Christian conference center in rural Wisconsin.
The episode starts with an introduction by Brother Phap Huu - Thich Nhat Hanh’s former attendant, and the current Abbott of Upper Hamlet, Plum Village. The brother recites one of Thay’s best known poems and pays tribute to his beloved teacher.
In the interview, Thich Nhat Hanh offers gentle wisdom for living in a world of anger and violence, through concepts such as engaged Buddhism, ‘being peace’, and mindfulness.
He shares the story behind his classic book The Miracle of Mindfulness, and discusses the Vietnamese connotations of the word ‘mindfulness’; transforming suffering; and building a community of practice and teaching mindfulness to different groups - from members of the US Congress to Hollywood filmmakers and law enforcement officers.
One segment of the interview focuses on dealing with war and ‘enemies’; the repetitive patterns of war, with a focus on the Vietnam and Iraq wars and the ‘war on terror’ taking place at the time. He further delves into: the root causes of war, anger, forgiveness, and peacekeeping; collective awakening; and viewing the world through the eyes of compassion.
What is compassion in the wake of a terrorist attack? And why is it so hard for human beings and global politics to take the root causes of war seriously? Does the practice of mindfulness cause forgiveness to become instinctual? And what were Thay’s pressing questions in 2003?
Thay also recites poems in both English and Vietnamese and comments on their meanings and shifting contexts, such as the relevance of his 40-year-old poem ‘Illusion Transformed’ to the realities of 2003.

A beautiful poem, beautifully recited and sung. The words seem a fitting message of hope as I deal with the anger, grief and confusion over news of another wave of violence in the Middle East. Thank you Thay, the Way out is in, and the entire Plum Village sangha for being there 🙏🏽❤️
The world lost a beautiful soul and a magnificent light. The words here are a beautiful remembrance by Brother Huu. We remember impermanence and No Death No Fear. His energy has transformed and his love and light has a new place. But his teachings his love his compassion and his mindfulness is always with us in our heart. We will always carry Thay with us. Keep him close to your hearts. The Dude Abides. May he rest peacefully. 🤌🤌🙏🙏
Thanks brother Pháp Hữu for allowing my teas just rolling down.

This interview reveals the magnanimity of Thay and his goodness. It should be read at UN in the face of Russian aggression and all the governments practising violence at the moment. Thank Bro for sharing this lotus flower with us.

Brother Huu…Your manifestations in words and beyond words are as beautiful as generous.

Thank you so much for this timely reminder of the path we are on. You honor your teacher with your humility, compassion, and service to others. May we all honor him in the same way.

Thank you 💗
Nooo I am so shocked 😮 such a massive loss to the people he has left behind. 🙏🙏🙏 May your next journey be as important as the lesson you left us with in this life 🙏
Thank you dear monastics and Krista. It is wonderful to hear this today. To be able to join with you here and to listen to Thay. I was feeling alone tonight here in New Zealand, now I’m connected again. Love from Ellen ❤️🌺
My thoughts and prayers for the departed soul🙏.
Thankyou so much for this wonderful rememberence of sacred words 🙏💗🙏
Heaven gained another angel 🙏 May his soul Rest In Peace🙏 His voice is the voice of Compassion, soothes my soul and brings me inner peace. Thank You so much for sharing 🙏💜🙏
Thank you so much for this podcast one more time : it is very inspiring and beautiful to hear Thay's interview, to hear Thay's poems red by himself. All what he was telling us during this interview is still very true and useful and should definitely be put in practice in our daily life and in the political life also in order to bring more peace, more compassion and more understanding in our world.
I have read many of his writings, and my soul has been touched by his loving-kindness and compassion.
What a blessing to be walking this path with Thick Nhat Haun.
His wisdom will live with us forever.
Love to you all! 🙏🏻🕉
Bless dear Thay for everything you’ve done for humanity 🙏🏻💖✨✨✨ You are still with us in the flowers, the trees, the wind, the clouds in my flowers in my home. I’m not alone 🙏🏻✨☮️🕉️
Goodness and Greatness personified
These videos are very inspiring and educating. It is valuable to hear the voice of Thich Nhat Hanh and feel as he is just by us. RIP.
Much love to you during this time, and for sharing this.
Zen Master Thai is alive than ever
So beautiful 🙏🏻❤️💖
10:18 “Mindfulness is an art of living” - so lovely to hear Thay speaking.
🙏🙏🙏
Namaste
27:18 this is one thing I don't see spoken about a lot. If its mentioned, its shortsightedly blaming one group or another. People are losing faith because priorities are out of balance and people feel neglected by the ones who should be working in their best interest. When Hawaii burned, it got a drop in the bucket worth of funding but somehow our pockets are endlessly deep for wars. Its frustrating.
I wish I had learned about Thay sooner. These podcasts have been tremendously helpful lately and I would have loved to attend one of his retreats in person. I still plan to one day, what you're all doing is wonderful
🙏 Keep your daily practice our friend.
