Bringing the Ultimate Dimension Down to Earth | TWOII podcast | Episode #40

[@happytraveller8953]

Just wow. Please have this fantastic Brother on again and again. Such a font of wisdom and sharing. One of these days, I hope to pluck up enough courage to sell everything (except my sewing machine and fabric) and find a Plum Village near me that will take a 60-something wannabe into their fold. I'll happily sew all your robes and make quilts to provide an income to the village. The 'regular' world is becoming a bit too much to bear sometimes and the poison and toxicity of the neverending news cycles keeps seeping in. You guys are just a breath of fresh air. Thank you for this life/mind-saving podcast.

[@Shariebal1]

Your podcasts are a wonderful service, one that is reflective and meditative in itself and a kind of lifeline. Thank you Brothers and Jo; please keep up the great work! ❤❤❤

I laughed when it was said that it’s not expected of us to meditate like our hair is on fire. Then my eyes got moist at the end about holding the crises we are facing in meditation to help ease anxiety and stress around ecological collapse. You don’t have to be a scientist or an environmental to understand how we got to this place. We can ask ourselves - Am I helping or hurting things with each of my choices. Brother Spirit is deep and I felt like I got an infusion of truth and philosophy and was in awe of what I heard and learned from all of them.

[@oshavanatta9533]

Trusting something deeper than the personality and learning to lose the fear of death. Through experience I have gained trust within myself. Letting go of the conditioned self full of patterns learned to survive is challenging because it’s familiar even though it may not be healthy or the ultimate. Cultivating love, understanding, compassion, trust, letting go. Thank you 🙏🙏✌️❤️

[@elizabethnesbitt3195]

This episode touched a huge light/feeling/awareness in me. Brother Phap Linh’s explanation of finding what goes beyond the breathing technique getting right into the true meaning of going beyond our chattering mind, I found quite terrifying but ultimately a huge challenge to find that real spiritual me. I am so grateful to be able to listen and engage in the teachings of Thay. I feel so very blessed 🙏

[@giselamercado149]

Thank you, brothers!

[@jettkeyser9909]

If you meet the Buddha on the road…may we thank her, thank him, however they may manifest, for their inspiration…and return to our breath, our steps, beauty arriving.

[@Kimberlygunn]

Wow, what an amazing and dynamic conversation!

[@WarrenRCG]

Wow, this was DEEP. Thanks you, brothers.

[@thourklengtan1397]

Wow, very deep discussion. Lots of insights. Will need to listen to this same podcast again. Thank you with much gratitude 🙏

[@lilianteo3229]

Thay doesn't have a label for things. He had the Zen to bring forth his teachings, for the curious minds to search for insights ourselves. Thay gave me an example to think about in one of his books I read that said about the historical & ultimate dimensions. Thay got me thinking & to relate with the "Heart Sutra" (I didn't understand from it, too deep for me at that time). Today, I am as light as a feather!

[@lorrainegarreau3885]

Thank you all so much for this wonderful Podcast. This episode has been especially beautiful. I love everything you all teach, Seems so simple to me to just love and respect one another yet so mush hate is being bred in our media. I wish I had a Sangha near my home that I could join

[@jettkeyser9909]

What lives on and on…touching so many of us…Brothers Linh and Huu and Cofino invite us into a deeply appreciative world, each with their lasting memories of Thay. I will never forget this one day at Deer Park in Escondido CA, Thay was leading walking meditation…One of the most tender moments I have ever witnessed arose in me as I realized how much love was being expressed in Thay’s wish for us to understand the joy that is possible in each of our steps.

[@SisterSunnyFreeSpirit]

Mon côté intellectuel et émotionnel comprend, je ne veux plus souffrir ainsi, mais je vais le faire bien sûr, mon grand garcon a quitté son corps et au fond de moi je sais pourquoi, mais il était tellement en colère. Cela c'est hard !!!!!

[@colleendeane7888]

🙏

[@susanyacenda3934]

I meant, that ‘follows it’ as my last words of my prior commentary. 🙏

[@Transformational_change]

Reminds of that song-“Highwayman” ✌🏼💓🙏🏼🔥🌈

[@harland04]

maybe i read it wrong, but in one of Thich Naht Hans book I remeber these two worlds being refered to as ultimate and relative reality, but in this podcast it is reffered to as ultimate and historical. anyone have an idea to why that terminology has changed?

[@susanyacenda3934]

Dear Friends, please be aware that ‘um’ is harsher to hear than ‘uh’ when speaking. Even better, it could be to have a vocal pause not saying either. (Or to not be in such a hurry to say the thought. ) Also, a truth should not be depleted by the word ‘but.’ Let the sentence/transmission stand on its own with a period when written or a fuller stop when speaking. For ‘but’ always negates whatever directly precedes it. Therefore, please choose from the many transition words such as ‘however, still, on-the-other-hand, except for, unless, yet’ to express any caveat to the initial sentence that follows it. 🙏

Meditation

[@tinaoldenskov]

Allez ! Pouf, pouf. Si tu n'as pas cette belle liberté. Mes ancêtres : NON, mes enfants : NON. Ok, tout est ma faute ! Pardon ! Je souffre et je ne sais pas encore accueillir cette horrible souffrance. Normalement, si on peut dire normalement. J'aime la vie et j'ai une reconnaissance profonde envers cette petite vie.

[@silviagiesbertz4911]

Boeddha got enlightened when he stopped mediating because it did not help him.

[@taostaosolgateresa575]

An animal goes through time and space all the time......why you speak "WE"....there is no difference...the verbiage is so ego centric...peace needs to come through a real understanding of all "Isness' hmmmmm
