MAY THAY (THICH NHAT HANH) REST IN NIRVANA (02/23/2023 12 am, Hue, Vietnam) Today Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh, passed away. I am so blessed to have had time with him as my teacher during my monastic years. He helped me leave the hell of addiction and his teachings on death helped me completely release my suicidal thoughts. We are all so blessed to encounter his teachings and I am very grateful for the technology that will allow such a large number of his teachings to continue on indefinitely. If Thay has touched your life in a meaningful way, please leave a comment here. No coming, no going. No birth, no death. I love you Thay🙏🙏🙏

yes he is a hero. Very educative. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. 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.

partial and imperfect transcript Where is life, there is death; and where there is death, there is life. This requires some meditation. In Buddhism we speak of interbeing. It means that we cannot be by yourself alone. You have to be with the other side. It’s like the left and the right. If the right is not there, the left cannot be. It’s not possible to take the left away from the right. The right and the left want to be together, because without the other, you cannot be. Like above and below. Above cannot be there if there is no below. That is interbeing. They have to be there at the same time. So when God said “let the light be,” and the light said “I have to wait for darkness to manifest together,” because light and darkness they inter-are. And god said, darkness is already there. So the light said, “In that case I am already there.” Good and evil. Before and after. You and I. I cannot be there without you. I cannot be there, the lotus flower cannot be there. There is no happiness without suffering. There is no life without death. And when a biologist observes the body of a human being, they see that life and death happen at the same time in the body. In this moment, thousands and thousands of cells are dying. When you scratch your skin, many dry cells fall down; they have died. Many cells die every moment of our daily life. And because you are so busy, you don’t notice that you are dying. If they die, you die. You think you don’t die yet, you have to wait 50-70 years. But that’s not true. Death is happening in the here and the now. And because the dying of the cells, the birth of other cells is possible. So many cells are born in the present moment, and we don’t have the time to welcome them. So the fact is that scientifically speaking, you can see birth and death happening in the present moment. So you experience dying and being born in every moment. Before you were conceived, you had already been there in your mother and your father in another form. So there is no birth, and there is no ending. So when we know that birth and death are together, we are not afraid of dying. La vie avec la mort. You have to observe life during your daily life, and you see birth and death inter-are in everything. Trees, animals, weather, matter, energy. Scientists have already pronounced there is no birth and death. There is only transformation. So transformation is possible, is real, and birth and death are not real. What you call birth and death are transformation. Chemical reaction. You bring substances together, and that makes a transformation. You think substances have vanished, but when you look deeply, the substance is still there in another form. When you look at the sky, you don’t see a cloud anymore. You think the cloud has died. But it has simply transformed into rain. There is no birth and death, only continuation. When you see there is no birth and no death, you are not afraid of dying. This is an invitation to lead our life more deeply, with more concentration, to be more in touch deeply with what is happening, with the true nature of reality. This is what is Nirvana in Buddhism. No birth and no death. A wave is afraid of dying. But if the wave realizes she is water, she is not afraid. Going up, she is water. Going down, she is water. So it’s very important that the wave does some meditation and realizes that she is wave but at the same time she is water, and when she knows she is water, she is no longer afraid of dying. She feels wonderful going up, she feels wonderful going down. A cloud is like that. The wave does not go and look for water. She doesn’t have to go and search for water because she is water in the here and now. The same is true with god. You don’t have to look for god. God is our true nature. You don’t have to look for nirvana. Nirvana is our ground.

Rest in peace, my friend! “This body of mine will disintegrate, but my actions will continue me… If you think I am only this body, then you have not truly seen me. When you look at my friends, you see my continuation. When you see someone walking with mindfulness and compassion, you know he is my continuation. I don’t see why we have to say “I will die,” because I can already see myself in you, in other people, and in future generations. Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die. There will be a dissolution of this body, but that does not mean my death. I will continue, always.” -Thay

I pray you all find the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't believe the lie that there is no life after death or the lie of reincarnation. God told us in Isaiah 43 10 Behold, before Me there was no God, neither will there be any God after Me. Do you also know what Jesus said? Jesus said no one, not a single soul, goes to God but by Me. Jesus said I Am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. You cannot have peace with God without the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus died in the sins of the world and rose from the dead, so that we could be justified and washed by His blood. And yet you choose to follow buddha? Jesus said not a single work I speak comes from Me but from God the Father. The teachings of Jesus came from the mouth of God and no other. I pray you repent and walk in the Lord Jesus Christ and turn from the lies of buddhism so you don't suffer the everlasting gates of hell. Jesus loves you so much He wants Himself in your life and I pray you follow the True Everlasting God for His love for you is Greater than all understanding.

@lherath8658 4 жыл бұрын

Thankyou so much for the question and answer. This helped me a lot. Although being born as a Buddhist, I have always had that doubt in the back of my mind, bothering me. I just simply couldn't convince myself that there's a 'literal' rebirth. After not being able to find a satisfying answer, I looked and thought deeply about it myself, I realised something very similar to this. (Correct me if I have the wrong idea) I feel like in Buddhism, the idea if birth, death and rebirth means the change, transformation and difference in our character and life everyday, within our lifetime. I am now not the person who I was before I watched this, I will not be the same person tomorrow as I am today. It's because the constant exposure to different elements in life changes us, everyday- everyminute. Both physically and psychologically. This might be the birth and death that Buddhism points at. These changes bring us suffering, good and bad, the idea of karma. And living in such conditions for a long time is hard to anyone I.e samsara? Therefore, the enlightenment we search in Buddhism is a life that is well lived without suffering too much. And it's achieved through controlling our minds. Understanding deeply about life and it's nature. Neither weighing towards too much or too little. Thus the middle path. It's a life that was good for ourselves as well as the world. It's a life where at the end of our lifetime, will be one that is not to feel regret of. It's a one that we'll be satisfied and happy to leave behind. Passing away peacefully to the unknown is be nirvana. This is what I have realised. And the answer from the video enhanced my understanding and ideas. This is probably the only answer that I found to be logical and sensible that aligns with my feelings. Thankyou again.

I don’t understand why people are confused about his answer. I think it is very clear that there is no life and no death. Life and death happen at the same time. We are here even before the day we are born and as we are born and live we are dying and being reborn every day (cells in our body die and regenerate). Since there is NO LIFE and NO DEATH, there is NO Such thing as life after death. There is no beginning and no ending. Life is a cycle. Hope that helps

I think it's the one who can't be created or destroyed and the energy that we see in the one's imagination represents this Truth. Imagination would seem to be the word and the waters which it is spoken across is the mind of God. Jesus is the light of God, I think, created by the word of God. Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life and the key to the Kingdom of God which is Love and the power of Creation. It seems that the closest anyone can get to going to Hell is to live in the hope that someone else will. We have to forgive those who know not what they do before we can ascend from the cross. I'm pretty sure that's correct and it's the sentiment reflected in the Sound of Silence, Stairway to heaven and Sympathy for the Devil to cite a few Spiritual writings and I think they said something about it in the Vedas. 🙏

This doesn’t explain how consciousness appears to begin at birth and end at death. The children weren’t asking whether the molecules in their bodies exist after death; they were asking whether their consciousness survives.

@buddhaexhumed9922 Ай бұрын

Who is Sandeep Maheshwari. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. 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.

I think if you ask a Tibetan Buddhist, he will just say "yes". I think if Thich Nhat Hanh believed "yes", he would say so. Instead, all this sounds like a qualifying "no". Like, "no, but really what you think of as life is not so simple". That's fine, but that's still a no, and it's a different answer from Tibetan Buddhism. Which - one may want to ask - why is that the case? Do Tibbetan Buddhists have different traditions or have they had different experiences?

@MrTianzhen 8 ай бұрын

Thich Nhat Nanh’s perspective is deep and touches the ultimate dimension of life. He said life energy follows the laws of energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; thus, we are still around after we died physically. A cloud never dies; instead, it changes only its form of existence. So do we.

If you dont know you are in fact "water" or Awareness, not a person, however old you are then his answer would have no meaning . However the wave and water analogy was very good .A wave is the same substance as the Ocean but a different shape,it is neither born or dies , water just has a little movement for a while and it thinks it is a wave, a person. A person is just an idea in the mind based on life conditioning ,a mind construct.

This guru is not proclaiming Christ as the ultimate source of information. This guru thinks HE KNOWS. That’s extremely arrogant. He needs to give God credit where’s its due. Most of the world hates and denies Jesus you are in the dark. @Sammy Scotch

I think she wanted to know whether life continued after death, that is be conscious of yourself after the physical death.

Of course that seems like the logical answer she was looking for. But what he was explaining was that from his Buddhist perspective, the question itself is wrong. She is already dead whilst being alive. Likewise, she is alive after what she perceives as, "death." The method of thinking she offers is in itself an inaccurate way of interpreting her life. She's asking the question from her religious/scientific perspective, that being that we were "born" when we were either conceived or physically birthed into the world. From the mindset of the practicing Buddhist, this question cannot be answered as such because the mentality accepts a falsehood from the onset. I think that's why he was trying to use metaphors to explain his perspective.

@thomas seven Nope. Consciousness is not a function of the brain but what animated the brain. Many have experienced consciousness without detectable brain activity.

You are not only the body, or the mind, or the ego. You are everything combine. If your body is made up of 65% of water. Then aren't you 65% of the whole ocean itself? So in a sense, you are not "inside" the universe. You "are" the universe who is experiencing itself, in a different perspective such as "me", "you" or "this car" or "that car". Everything is literally one single being. You can call it "god" or "the source" or "the universe" or "all that is", there are many names. God is not a seperated being from you. The real you, which is the source of all things, don't die, It's more like you can't die, you just change forms. Can you really get rid of "water"? When water evaporated, it became air, when air became saturated, it became cloud, when cloud is condensed, it start raining down water, and the whole cycle repeated. You can never really completely get rid of "water" out of existence, because it will just change form no matter what you do with it. You are in fact, the same way. You don't die, you just recycle. That's where the idea of reincarnation are made. . Even if we are all are just one singularity being at our core, we are living in a state of seperation , or duality , such as: I am seperated from you, you are seperated from me. When we each have individual thoughts, that is how realities are formed, when one thought collide with another. Imagine if you live in a state of singularity with unity consciousness. In this singularity consciousness, you are living as if you are "everything at once". When you live in this state of singularity instead of duality, there wont be any individual thoughts, there wont be "my thoughts", there won't be "your thoughts", it will just be "our thoughts" always. There won't be any events happening because it won't be any individual "thoughts" collide with one another to make an "event". A whole relationship of 20 years would just happen in a snap of a finger because "time" or duration of manifesation will not exist in this unity consciousness. Unity consciousness, can be called the ending journey of the soul, or "death" for some people. It's a journey of going back to the source. When you are living in "unity consciousness", there will just be an eternal awareness of nothingness. Do you call it death? It's up to your judgement. Nowday many people talk about how they want to get out of reincarnation cycle because it's full of suffering. Do you want to live an eternal life of nothingness? or do you rather live to experience "life", to love, to laugh, to suffer, and to growth, just so you can die and repeat it again. To live life in this state of duality, or seperation is a blessing of itself. :)

+The Sleuth's Report what are you even saying mate.. first of all you said you don't believe in life after death, yet you go looking for your father who have passed away..? Second, when did i say god is nothingness? I clearly said that we are god, which is we are everything combine. You're proprably confused with the singularity consciousness that i stated. So you already know that we everything combine at our core, correct? But we are living in a 3 dimensional state, which is im seperated from you and you are seperated from me, but we are one at our core, so what do you think would happen if we are living as if we are all one? Aka the singularity consciousness? Life wouldn't happen with the singularity consciousness. Life only works with the duality consciousness that we are living right now, where 2 seperate thoughts form into a reality. I've astral travel my whole life so idk how that would help my claim but theres that, if you don't know what it is, just look it up.

@williamsaekao6581 7 жыл бұрын

+The Sleuth's Report oh no haha, what i was saying is, some people who is deep into the spiritual life, they think the world is full of suffering, so they want to stop the reincarnation cycle. If you stop the reincarnation cycle, which is your energy stop recycling, meaning you'll be living in the singularity consciousness, you'll be everything combine, which mean you won't be able to experience life, emotions, growth or anything like that. Where if you are living in duality, you get to experience what life has to offer, you get to experience emotions and all that good stuff. Singularity consciousness = you'll be nothing but an awareness.

+The Sleuth's Report I've done this in astral travelling and lucid dreaming actually. I don't know where we go when we die, but if it's to the astral world in astral travelling, life is much more fun there. Maybe when we die, we go to different dimensions where duality consciousness still applies, who knows. But to go back to the state of singularity is when your consciousness merge with the "source" or "god", but when does that happen, i have no idea. I've read some books that said it's the final lesson for the soul to go back to the source but yeah, i guess that's beyond our 3D perception right now

Stopping the reincarnation cycle not necessarily meaning living in singularity consciousness in Mahayana Buddha Dharma.People believe that many chan or Zen masters have already reached the stage of Bodhisatava meaning they have already stopped the rebirth cycle and which will lead you to the pure land.However in Vajrayana tradition if you have not achieved the status of higher lamas or Rinpoche you will go through the life cycle or rebirth continuously in different form depending on your karma .Only higher lamas and Rinpoche can be reborn as reincarnated being or enlighten being.
