I cannot express the profound feeling within that this beautiful talk stirred in me ! Thank You dear teacher 🌻🍀

[@jiniaroon8640]

Thank you Brother Phap Linh. This is one of the most beautiful talks I have heard about touching the silence within us, and how we can enter into that space. Your calm voice and manner .. the pauses in your talk ... your invitation to feel & listen to our own breath, feel the sensations in our bodies felt so natural to me to reach that inner space. Thank you once again, Brither Phap Linh

Oh Brother, this was the most beautiful and relaxing silence creating experience, the best body awareness I have had in a long time. It was easy to find the pasage to the silence inside of me to create this beautiful relationship between body and mind, the wake up to the present moment. I could hear the greetings, the welcoming on my arrival to this special place ... with no words. Excellent! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Br Phap Linh

[@t.m.spruytenburg9746]

Dear Thay Phap Linh Thank you so much for this clear teaching! I will listen to it again and put it into practice, as well as share it with others.

[@anoshya]

In these days of intense rapid fire talking it’s pleasant to listen to such a calm slow non dogmatic talk..thankyou

[@Amelie447]

this is great, this is the way the Buddha taught us, this is the path for real Prajnaparamita. Thank you so much dear Thay Phap Linh

[@mskitten1203]

'Not now my thinking...I'm breathing' :)

[@LaSupervia]

Br. Phap Linh is such a jewel. No surprise that a musician like him could speak about silence so beautifully. Thank you!

[@margheritaghetti7344]

Brother Phap Linh thank you for this beautiful teaching it is my go to support and calm me

[@SailaSimanainen]

Thank you for very wise and beautiful talk.

[@compassion5151]

This Dharma talk by Thay Phap Linh is very deep and a new approach to teach how to wake up. His detailed hint must be very useful for practitioners who have never awaken themselves. I have not heard Thích Nhất Hạnh explained like this before. Mindfulness sounds easy but actually it is not so easy to practice because we must stop thinking in order to be really mindful. In other words mindfulness means self-transformation. We need to transform ourselves from ego (separate self) to awareness (true self, non-separate self). In other words, awareness is equal to the whole cosmos, awakened consciousness, the Buddha, or God. The key message of this Dharma talk is to stop thinking. So, I felt that Thay Phap Linh had better stopping to say, "I think...". It may be his habit but I recommend him to use "I feel...". It may be a little bit better expression.

[@claudinenguyen]

I love this talk. I found it very relaxing.

[@beatrijsdegroote2895]

I was listening while resting and never before l felt my tiredness as today . Wondering how l can join a retreat to feel the collective energy as l Don't feel it being here on my own. I have been ill for more than ten years now. Looking for silence without feeling so alone as l do now. It's been a wonderful experience breathing and listening to your soft voice. Thank you

[@graceacer9369]

[@ellenmt3951]

Listening in 2024. Wonderful.

[@jordanamman7955]

Thank you!

[@robertwilson822]

This was a strong talk for me. When he said the open door to our cage is our breath... I had to pause the video cuz it hit me deep.

[@rosarioc.1849]

¡ Buena tarde ! Acercarnos al silencio interior,,, Entrenar nuestra mente en despertar al momentito presente,,, Respirar y nada más que respirar,,, Muchas gracias,,,

[@lmansur1000]

Just wish they can make the recording a bit louder. What happens on my computer, I can put it on the highest and then commercials come and they become extra loud....so there is no balance. Thank you for your consideration.

[@lester9722]

🙏🙏🙏This is home, I wanna go home. Take me home where I belong.

[@djebalimay7955]

🙏Le son est beaucoup trop bas, c'est dommage.

[@caminomerino8964]

Genial.

[@unitarianuniversalistchurc3180]

Too many words are said to help us appreciate silence. Whitesplained. Mansplained.

[@23Bentley45]

This is such a treasure. The whole speech is a wonderful meditation. I closed my eyes to his soothing voice and I felt so thankful for his wisdom and for Plum Village. Thank you Brother Phap Linh.

Dear brother, don't forget to include the year when you tell the date:) great talk.

[@taiwanelisa]

Great talk. But the sound is so weak, that even when at its loudest on my computer, I can often hardly hear brother's Phap Linh's voice. Would it please be possible to tune it up? Many thanks.

[@tringuyenhoang7819]

Hi, I suggest to listen at night. It is quiet and it is easier to hear Bro. Phap Linh voice. I used ipad in this condition, and could hear clearly his voice.

[@clairehebert1010]

Bonjour, J'aspire à lire la traduction en Français. Avec Gratitude. Un lotus pour toi Grand Frère Phap Linh. Claire

[@ElStatch]

Bonjour Claire, je crois que les sous-titres en français sont maintenant disponible :)

[@sandrakoenig5772]

Die Lehre ist wundervoll aber ich kann nicht an die Vollkommenheit der Moenche glauben. Ist irgentwie unmenschlich. Und das extrem langsame Sprechen nimmt auch viel momentane Lebenszeit wenn man das andauernd macht. Wenn man die Buecher von Tich Nhat Hanh liest kennt man den Inhalt jeder Rede die gehalten wird. Er ist das absolute Vorbild. Bitte nicht als Kritik aufnehmen, ist nur meine ehrliche Empfindung, von der ich mir eigentlich wuensche, dass sie mich taeuscht. Ich moechte ja von Herzen gerne an das Gute glauben

[@fattidiliberta]

So much moralizing 😅
