I love how Master survived through the toughest of times and even refused to show anger* during the Vietnam War. Now his peaceful motions have extended way beyond and worldwide. Miss you master.

Next time you see a cloud, really notice and witness it, say hi to Thay

[@HVM555]

Do you mean the American war, not the Vietnam War?

@sawyerstudio You just made me walk over to my window to take a look. It's snowing, cloudy, -10°C and the sun went down an hour ago here up in the north. Our garden is covered with 15 cm soft snow. There are no clouds to be seen in the sky. Its all beautiful white and grey, so he must be absolutely everywhere, right? 😊❤️ Thank you, and a happy peaceful year.

Thank you everyone and everything that are involved in creating this. 🙏

I bought a book by Thay in 1989 and slowly it changed my life. I’ve been married for 45 years and his book was a support in the marriage during difficult times ..thankyou Thay my friend

[@miriaml4151]

What book?

[@Eleutherarch]

@anoshya Would you tell us the name of the book please?

[@clotildebert9016]

It's always a great pleasure to listen to our revered master 🙏🙏🙏

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

I deeply wish that I had the opportunity to meet Thay before his passing. I first encountered him through a newspaper article many years ago while living in Tennessee. The title of the article was, "Water for thirsty Americans." Since that time, I read some of his books, poems, and excerpts. The world truly lost a phenomenal human being when passed away. May we show our greatest remembrance of him by applying his teaching.🙏

That was magnificent. Thank you so much to Miguel Sanchez, Plum Village and of course Thich Nhat Hanh and all of his disciples! I am so moved and I plan to share this with as many people as I can. Namo Buddhaya! 🙏

[@Iamthepossum]

His voice is so magical and healing. The moment he begins speaking I can feel my blood pressure dropping and all my cares and worries washed away by the melody of his words. I am so grateful for the gift of hearing his voice in this lifetime. We need more Buddhas like him in the world! I sincerely thank each and every one of you who embodies Thay's beautiful continuation now and forever 🥰may you be blessed

[@lyonsclairee.676]

His voice is so soothing the voice is so important for me when listening. If I don't like voice I won't listen to the talk even if its good

[@albertobecerril6853]

Thays voice is music to my ears.The silencie in betwen each word is as important as each word. More music is not required.

[@shastahill]

I agree, although i find the music and visuals beautiful, a loving offering among the ways people can continue to receive the message.

[@annettesanchez4425]

I miss him. ❤ May he rest in paradise.

[@dianeconrad1978]

Did you hear him say "recover"...it is because he understood the challenges before him/us and the need to be still until the challenge passes. Then your true nature returns and the emotions that arise during the challenge have dissolved. Sometimes without receiving the answer that is needed... just the time to get through it. Life goes on with peace and love in your heart. This is freedom. I will forever learn from his example and his wisdom.

[@aprilflowers88able]

The music is to loud, it needs to be barely in the background but it overcomes his words which are always good. Don't drown out the Master.

[@plumvillageapp]

Thank you dear friend for sharing. We have much gratitude for your feedback! Thank you for helping us. 🙏

[@teachersamtravels4028]

Yes I agree, the music needs to be lowered a little.

Dear friend, thank you for your feedback. Most of the talks and teachings on the Plum Village App and this KZbin channel have no music. These short films are exceptions embraced by other followers. We are still experimenting and finding out what people enjoy and resonate with. Most of the excerpted teachings can be found in their original audio and/or video format too. Hope this helps.

He has arisen 🙏🏼(kind of joking but not really)

[@Eyes_Unclouded]

❤

[@Iamthepossum]

Thay lives on in all of us, in everyone who hears and applies his teachings and insights. He talks about that a lot in many of his dharma talks; he talks about how our words bear our signature and live on after us, and how our actions "continue us" after our transcendence into other forms at our "passing". In that sense, I agree with you that he is arisen every day; we are his continuation. May you be free from worry and sorrow and be blessed! 🙏📿💞
