Handling Strong Emotions | Thich Nhat Hanh 2000.06.09

Our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us that all emotions are impermanent and pass with time. He teaches us how to handle strong emotions and gives concrete practices on how to embrace our despair.

I've watched many self-help videos from therapists, but it is these words from a person who, in my opinion, speaks from a place of compassion and understanding of our oneness with the universe, that has helped me the most. THANK YOU

[@carlystevenson950]

Out of all of the many things I am grateful for in this life, having the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh is easily one of the greatest. My life is changed now and subsequently others around me. I wish I could thank him.

[@geovaniavaninha2640]

I think Thich has the great power to change peoples life in a very good way, all around the world. His wisdom and his worderful way to interpret life is unique and magic. His simplicity makes his teachings much easier to understand and to put into practice. I believe that the best way to thank him is to share and spread his knowledge as much as possible. Namastê!!! 🥰🙌

[@pianoreeves9611]

Amen 🙏

[@vicf2520]

Hi there Carly. I totally agree with you. I'm also so very grateful for his immense wisdom and loving compassion. I wish I could thank him too.

I love him so much.

Thank you Thay, thank you dear Sangha all around the world. I love the image he used here of a tree in a storm: even if it feels as if you would be shaken, your trunk is going to be stable, you may have the confidence to go through the storm in tranquility with the help of your practice and the loving kindness of other people like him. I love the image of a tree in a storm, because the tree does not have to make efforts in order to survive and face storms - there is the earth at his roots, the sun and the water in the sky nourishing him. Its presence, stillness and the fact that it is alive is yet already the wisest thing. There is no way to force acceptance, endurance and integration, so may we sit in stillness in order to embrace our lifes with all their painful and nourishing parts. Which sometimes are the same, like the rainy storm for the tree. May you all be happy, sitting peaceful and wise like the tree:)

[@colleendeane7888]

Dear Thay speaks with gentle authority. To concentrate on the tree trunk equals Jesus teaching on building one's home on firm foundations

[@dan-andreivasilescu228]

I truly hope that Thay uses all his strength to go through the challenge he encountered a few years ago.

Father Thich Nhat Hanh a lot of people's using TRICKS or STRATEGY for your DRAGONS WEALTHS and for your BUDDHA'S WEALTHS with using Filipino Devil Gods. I love you very much my Father Thich Nhat Hanh and my Ministry in Vietnam.

[@queunlimited4779]

Why do we "have to survive" our emotions? No one has the right to dictate to anyone else when they choose to leave this earth. That's a personal choice. I don't subscribe to suicide but do support each person's choice to stay or go. 🙏

[@joelwanky9503]

Thats why he’s trying to get through your head to mindfully embrace emotions and not be hopeless this actually tells what will you do when a storm in life will come just run cowardly
