This is why Br Phap Dung is my favorite teacher because he intersperses humor into his wisdom and insight. I'm smiling the whole time as I listen to him and sometimes burst out laughing. This is what makes him special and I hope he continues to be his natural self when he gives his talks. Let the brother continue to be himself! Thank you for sharing this.

This dharma and the reflection of the past year carried me to this moment. We just had the opening of the DNC at Chicago, an amazing and joyful gathering. I am hopeful for the future. Thank you to all who share the teachings of Thay.

Every time you provide a new or i listen to a previous dharma talk it is still a very present reality. This upcoming election will need level headed individuals if the current party remains. Lotus unto you A Di Da Phat.

Thank you Brother Phap Dung, your humanity and humility in teaching the Dharma calmed my *also perfectionist* mind and touched my heart.

Brother Phap Dung, I feel when you explain Thay's teaching, i learned it even better and more clear, like concept of "Mental formation", thanks

Mindfulness in engineering and manufacturing is healthy. The finished products and tools used, and spaces worked in carry good energy. Nothing is forced, everything in its right place.

[@SisterSunnyFreeSpirit]

[@sharonlujan9497]

I can tell what generation you are from, rebellious and funny w buddist aspirations.

[@franciscaperezs]

Br Phap Dung please do learn about Human Evolution before talking about it. Humans and Apes have a common ancestor and are two separate lineages.

[@josephc7362]

Francis, I understand your frustration. This used to bother me a bit but in this talk Br. Phap Dung explained that a byproduct of his practice, he doesn't retain all the details, such as the different evolutionary paths of humans are apes.
