3-Month Retreat Opens | Br. Phap Dung | 2023-10-22

Today we open our annual 3-month retreat at Deer Park Monastery with 98 participants. During this time, we will remain in the monastery to practice together, a tradition dating back to the time of the Buddha. This is our first Dharma talk with Br. Phap Dung.

Thank you dear Br. Phap Dung, I am grateful that these dharma talks are recorded and shared, so I may in the UK and others may watch and benefit from the teachings. I liked what you said about insight is like a match that is lighted, that when it goes out there is no grasping, unlike with knowledge the tendency is in the holding on to. The difference with the feeling of release and contraction. With a bow

Brother Phap Dung, always love your talks and really appreciate access to these videos since I live far away and can't be there in person. It's so easy to listen to you and understand. Your way of integrating humor, casual demeanor and light heartedness into the talk is what makes your talks appealing. Thank you, and always be yourself!

Thanks as always Brother Phap Dung. Wonderful and inspiring. Side note: you had a large daddy long legs friend who kept crawling on you, and as I have an irrational fear of them, it was nice to see you alive and peaceful as he walked his path. You are my hero. 😂

When is the spider in the video? Do you have the time so we can find it?

Starting around 26:12- keep an eye on his right shoulder. It’s hard to see on my phone but on my laptop it was quite obvious 😄.
