Since Thay has passed from physical form, i have been listening to his posted teachings and Memorial Services. Although in the past, i was aware of this gentle, beautiful man, and a few of his teachings and meditations, i was not a serious student of his . But now, to me, His Presence seems to have exploded into the etheric space around this planet in such a powerful and effective way. Every day, i am finding his thoughts and enlightened insights that guide me in new ways. And i feel His Presence so clearly. Thank you Thay and devoted Followers for helping this be even More accessible. Peace and Comfort to All.

I feel the same way as you, that's amazing. :)

[@istoppain62]

Glad you’re on the path with us. 🙏

[@jannie6359]

@@istoppain62 Thank you so much. Finished the closing ceremony this morning that was so very touching. I have been very moved in this experience

[@christinemulvey8978]

This is also my experience. Thank you for putting words to it. So much gratitude. Cris

[@jannie6359]

@@christinemulvey8978 and its still holding! His wonderful kind and wise Presence. Its so amazing! How he is holding his point of Presence to aid this world. A true Master. I am happy so many others (like you) can sense this.

I first got to know him 22 years ago when I read his book Living Buddha, Living Christ. He has walked with me and been in my life all these years as my Teacher. He and his teachings are a part of me. He is with me. I am joining all the memorial ceremonies online. I have been shedding a bucketful of tears this week. These feeling of loss and sorrow are human, I love him so much. I am comforted by his wisdom. However, these feelings of sorrow are part of my present moment and in time they will be transformed.

[@russells.soehnerii8308]

Yes, I have had and continue to have similar experiences 🙂

[@enriquevasquez9600]

How I love you! You made me a better person, a batter Christian and a compassionate man.

Dear Thay, you have accompanied me for 30 years, most mornings, meditating, listening to your teachings. I feel you are a part of me and a part of the world around me. Thank you for your gentle, tender presence, your honesty and sense of justice. I go on with you in my heart, in the sky, in trees, in Mother Earth. You are everywhere.

[@queensigal]

As you get older,you lose more beloved ones. How comforting to hear this angelic being.He is now also a cloud.

Thay is preparing to become the rain that cleanses the pavement on which we walk mindfully🙏

[@ShopStylebyme]

I am sorry but I can’t help crying for my beloved~the father of mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh. I am talking to the cloud. I am feeling the love and recognize you, Thich Nhat Hanh. Thank you Plum Village Sentient beings for posting these messages. You’re helping me heal. 💐💐☁️🌤🕯🕯

[@babybaby5893]

When I am nervous and anxious. I calm down by coming here to listen to his voice.

[@pamela4177]

"You love life more". So much gratitude for this beloved teacher, that has taught me, us so much. I feel I cherish these moments of quiet stillness when remembering my loved ones in the clouds. Nature is such a beautiful healer, and connections with teachers like Thay to remind us of the present moment, and look up. I love this so much. Made me cry. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@MelissaHurley1994]

Even recently somehow I looked up the clouds and thought heaven or not just up and their essence

[@brianlongshore]

His words are so beautiful on dealing with grief that they make me cry tears, sad and happy tears.

[@pon1952leod]

Such a lovely man…he’s in my heart for eternity 🙏🏻🦋🙏🏻

Thank you thank you thank you, the father of mindfulness. Thank you so much for this message

[@staceyw855]

My father just passed & I’m having a hard time dealing with this. Please help. What advice can you give me.

[@Jobaz]

I'm so sorry for your loss. All I can say is that I've had four bereavements in 18 months. I've been struggling too, but after a lot of research into NDEs and spirituality, I'm now convinced that our conciousness survives bodily death. Be open to signs, meditate and be kind to yourself. This is what helped me. I wish you all the best, and hope you can find some peace

[@andreagriffin8731]

This man changed my heart, for life. He is a teacher sent from Christ, I know it, I feel it. I wish I could have met him in this life. I am so blessed to have the internet this day and age. He saved me from so much heartache. Most phenomenal teacher, besides Christ, i have ever known. See you someday thay, thankyou for taking the time to teach us all.

[@beautiful20106]

I listened this one on last year after I lost my loved dog. Now thay was gone I understand that everyone will die eventually, we have to prepare & accept that from Buddhism

[@chickenlover657]

A dog? You're upset about a damn dog? Wow, can't wait till your momma joins him.

[@hughslevin7120]

No need to get annoyed A dog is a living being or was living being in his teaching Thay respects all living being's

[@WholeFoodPlantPeople]

Beautiful message. Thank you for working so hard to be yourself and share your wisdom with all of us. I was first sad and then smiled after your passing, because you are with me, and I am with you.

[@allisonforfornsed]

Yes, revered master, there IS a way to be sorrowful. One will be sorrowful if they do not accept impermanence. Instead of saying "nothing is ever lost", it would be more accurate to say "nothing REAL is ever lost."

[@Meditationsandwisdom]

So much gratitude for our teacher 🙏

[@wthomas7955]

You have to love this guy.

[@jamisedenari2449]

I have a question on this: so when we say we lost a loved one we lose what we've identified with however doesn't that mean that we've lost a connection? So how can that person not be dead and gone?
