I have been through probably the worst 2 mnths of my life, had a stroke, lost my mom and diagnosed with cancer, just had surgery a week ago. A friend introduced me to this man a few days ago. Here I lay watching this video and suddenly a sense of peace has come over me. I know I have tough days ahead but I also know that by just sitting and listening to these videos they will help me heal from the inside out.

[@hputtar]

Wishing you a speedy recovery and peace.

[@onelovemon1784]

Michelle I'm in the most devastating time of my life. I am sending you loving-kindness, peaceful embrace and compassion.

You can try do the method called yoniso manasikàra ( Pali language ) , taught by A Vietnamese Theravada monk , as follows : Sit in meditation posture , or as you can according to your health . You can do it when lying too . You say one by one of these sentences , after each time of saying a sentence , you breath in , hold , one breathe out ( only one time ) 1/ illness is impermanent - deep breath in - hold - deep breath out ( = b.i -h -b.o ) 2/ so this ill body will be recovered . b.i -h-b.o 3/ leave , cancer , leave - b.i-h-b.o 4/ with calm mind , I breath in and know breath in . , - b.i -h-b.o . 5/ with calm mind , I breath out I know breath out - b.i-h-b.o 6/ Then breath in , hold , breath out : 5 times Repeat from 1 to 6 , 5OO times , about 1/2 hours . You do it 4 times / day , or less depending on your health . Practice 6 months , you may see the good result . You have to keep 5 precepts : 1/ no killing living beings and eat plant based diet . 2/ no lying , cheating v.v 3/ no alcohol , no heroin . 4/ no stealing . 5/ no sexual misconduct . Some people use this method and cure their illness .

Any and every time I'm in a place that I fear, this man's teachings makes everything ok. I've tested it time and time again.

[@janecaswell7579]

Yes, I have found the same thing to be true. I am truly astounded the way he explains things. I had been trying to figure out how to have minimal suffering. I'm so grateful and thankful 🙏❤️🙏.

[@bladeoftheimmortal9117]

Similar here 😊❤

[@bonniematthews7611]

YES, I have experienced EXACTLY the same thing myself. It is extraordinary - miraculous even - that a person can have that effect.

[@Contribute_TakeCare_Learn_Play]

Whenever I'm just out of it. Thay brings me a sense of humanity being good. They say he is extreme. Well I say this. People if they suddenly became poor. They would rather blame foreigners and vote and die for a new Hitler. Well . That shows me I should not listen to these people. Maybe they are extreme. In not knowing. Ignorance. I'd rather die not protecting myself. And living by Thich Nhat Hanh's standard. Them to die for a tyrant evil being.

In a world of fake teachings and silly conspiracy theories, it's comforting to see genuine calm and wisdom being taught here. Thich Nhat Hanh is the real deal.

[@adamsmith307]

“Silly conspiracy theories”? You mean the ones that have become conspiracy fact? Spirituality shouldn’t be a running away from our responsibilities, but give us the strength to stand up for ourselves when necessary.

[@edensmoma]

[@SharonVeeLee]

I've watched Thay before but got some reason, within the first 10 seconds of watching this video, I teared up. I felt such a sense of compassion from him. I could tell him everything I've done and he would think no less of me. I hope I have this kind of peace & aura someday.

[@kc-vx6dc]

I cried too, he has a way of getting right through the muck and into that place inside you that you didn’t even know was there. A true bodhisattva, pioneer, and teacher ❣️

[@sjk7314]

Same here

[@JessMaccain]

Same - I was thinking of him this morning when waking up. I will let this man live inside my heart, so whenever I feel the external world is too harsh, or whenever I feel strong negative feelings, I know this man will tell me "I want to understand your suffering. I want to take your suffering seriously." Also whenever I feel very happy and joyful, I know this man will be happy for me. Although I've never met him in person, I already consider him a lifelong friend and companion.

Meditation has become the best hours of my days !!!

[@bonniematthews7611]

Thay speaks mindfully, with compassion and insight, from his bottomless pool of wisdom. This man was/is a living Buddha, a TRULY enlightened human being. I feel INCREDIBLY fortunate I was born during his time, discovered Buddhism, and encountered the purest soul on the planet, Thich Nhat Hanh. He has saved me in every way a person can be saved. What this scholar, humanitarian, and spiritual master accomplished in a single lifetime is astounding. The "Father of Mindfulness" did nothing short of re-envisioning and transforming Buddhism for the East, the West, and the modern age.
