Let Understanding Be Your Only Career | Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

(Hello! Make sure to turn on English subtitles if you need them!)
The Plum Village France community is practicing the annual 90-day Rains Retreat. Alongside live teachings from the monastics, the community will also enjoy a weekly talk from our teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay).
These talks have been carefully hand-picked from the 2012/2013 Rains Retreat, with the theme "Soulmate of the Buddha." In this seminal retreat, Thay shared his deepest insights and aspirations on studying, practicing, and renewing Buddhism.
For the first time, these ten curated talks will be offered with crisp and clear English subtitles crafted by our elder monastic Dharma Teachers, so our whole community can enjoy the clearest transmission from Thầy.
We are delighted to invite our KZbin community to join the Plum Village Sangha in enjoying these precious teachings.
This Dharma Talk was originally recorded on 22nd November 2012 in Lower Hamlet, Plum Village France, as part of the Winter Retreat 2012-2013.
The Plum Village France Sangha watched it together again with updated subtitles on 13th November 2024, as part of the 2024/2025 Rains Retreat. It is the fifth talk from this series.

Did Brother Phap Ao create the wooden Z?

The teachings of Thich Nhat Hahn have helped save my life. I am truly grateful to everything the teachings of Plum Village have done for me. Unfortunately, I am subjected to an environment, corporations, and governments that just do what they want to do. I try my best to help the world where I can, but it comes back as no purpose. I'm not sure why there is a reason to be on this Earth.

Love ya fam. There are others out there who have or do share what you are feeling. Keep your head up and you foot down. Homage to the triple gem!

You are largely reflecting my feelings too... Maybe it helps to know that you are not alone. I didn't even want to watch this video when I first saw it. Now I'm going to after all. When you get energy-draining stuff, it's good to have a counterweight for it. Sister true believer (the former BBC politics person) is very refreshing to listen to. She gives hope because she also touches on the realities of our daily lives for those of us who aren't in Plum Village. She connects.

@@GardenYourHeart98 Yes! Thank you. I couldn't quite remember, which is why I added the text in brackets.
