That is so beautiful about the plant. There are often orchids left behind discounted at my local walmart. They often get thrown away. I bought one before it got thrown away, it had no flowers. Its been a few months and its flowering just now. It makes me so happy. 🌱

[@beki1377]

I made the same experience :-) rescued a almost gone plant and it was flowering and growing beautiful in the next season 😍

[@vinnyvincent2862]

The magic that saved the orchid was in you not the orchid ! Well Done 🌹🙏

[@MsOceanstar]

Thank you Sr Dang Nghiem for this dharma talk...deep compassion runs through it. Deep bow for your practice to benefit us all. May we be inspired to practice diligently.🙏☮️❤️

[@cindyau-thach762]

A lotus to you sister D. May you be safe and may you be healthy. All of us are missing you and having so much gratitude to your teachings. Thank you for showing all of us the path.

[@Musecollective]

Thank you sister Dang. This was so beautiful. I needed the reminders today. So much palpable grief at this time. Grateful for the technology to learn so much so quickly and to have the time to practice every day. 🙏

[@funkcatbrown]

The second week under strict confinement, I learnt from a telephone call that my partner passed away at 2.000 kms far away. I switched off from everything and everyone except from my cat and plants. My cat (not the one in my profile) has turned out an amazing supportive friend. Not sure how to put it in words but I’m under the impression that we communicate each other mind to mind. We don’t use much sound words. We sit down in silence together. He likes to lead the walking meditation, teaching me how to mark the territory. If I stop, he stops too and turn round his head toward me awaiting for me to move...Anyway, thank you for this dharma talk. Plum Village has been very generous through all confinement. Online meditations was a brilliant way of practice in togetherness. Silence creates a bond amongst practitioners.

May Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara give you support. Take care and be safe. 🏵️☀️

[@heidicoolen3784]

Thank you very much Sr. Dang Nghiem, i was able to attend to my own grief while listening to the Dharma talk, you are a very inspiring nun who has touched me deeply.

[@maeverlylilith9295]

Sr. Dang communicates so clearly and lovingly. Her style is one I am drawn to; I always get much benefit from her dharma talks. Many thanks. 💜

[@_vnposs9556]

Dear Sangha Plum Village, the Dharma talks you shared is very, very emotional and insightful. It touched me and I am very grateful! I have to repent myself too, because I am afraid of, that my words may be still empty words, Namo Shakya Muni Buddha!

[@ConexionHumanaOficial]

Wow, this is great, the plan has survived because of your love, attention, gratitude and much more essentials qualities that you show to the plant. Your precious time, your dedication, an so on. Thank you very much for sharing wonderful teachings. Evangelina Cortes.

[@chrisp9655]

Thanks for the insight sister d. Always great to see the interbean at work.

[@ginoporrasabarca3854]

Dear Sr Dang Nghiem, your lovely speech has touched my heart. Thanks to you and to the brothers and sisters in Deer Park Monastery. I know you are there, and I’m very happy.

[@ConexionHumanaOficial]

Thank you Sister D, for talking about what is happening in our world in relation with the coronavirus, the death of a human being in horrible and abusive conditions, and the manifestations. Your sharing about this issues means a great class in so many ways. I'll mention one of them; when same body never has been in a monastery, that person use to think that the community in such places is waisting time, some body told me that she thinks that the Brothers and Sisters are just sitting, and she said no make a sense. But is beautiful to see how much the community works in order to help people around the world. I know that no body in the monastery is watching TV, or conected to the internet, but you are conscious on what is going on in our world society, because all of you are part of the society, you are not blind about what is happening. Lotus for you Buddha to be. Evangelina Cortes.

[@daveaquilante4158]

Thank you my dear sister. Blessings to your heart from my heart. I know you are there there and i am so happy and grateful. 🙏❤

[@chaipotkosit]

Thank you Thay for this valuable noble truth and all of teaching. I just lost my beloved father from this pandemic in August 9,2021. The suffering keep coming back to my mind from time to time. Your teaching is really guiding me out of this labyrinth. I fear no more of death from the phrase that we have our mother earth to take care us all the time and we return to our mother earth from the time we no longer live our life in this world. Namo Buddhaya.

[@scoobytubey4514]

I feel so fortunate to have received your teaching today. You have helped me. Thank you.

[@islandofself1526]

I appreciated your talk. I have a hard time with grief and this helped me. My close family; my mom, my grandmother, and grandfather have all passed away. They were the people I depended on to go to for emotional and life circumstances. I am 38 years old. My father and I never had a close relationship but he still walks this Earth. I will take your words to heart and appreciate the beauty in the people that are here and now.

[@buddhaexhumed9922]

This is the first video I have seen of her teaching. Very educative. I love his videos. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
