The Art of Being Peace | Dharma Talk by Thich Nhat Hanh, 2008 05 13

[@ericchristen5433]

A world government should be comprised of spiritualists, yogis, artists, writers, buddhists, ethical philosophers, poets, uncompromising doctors, nurses, farmers, gardeners, mothers, fathers, children, animals, vets, conscientious builders and so forth. Non of the world leaders of today deserves such a position.

[@GodOfGamblers81690]

I am only a recent student to the Buddhist way of life- but the words this man speaks transcend faith and religion. This is the beautiful art of being human and to embrace being human.

[@petervenables513]

This guy makes me feel humble and is a true Bodhisattva, a modern-day Buddha. I am glad to be able to be inspired by him. My new Role-Model

[@jojoaja6106]

The buddha way too rare it need hundred of millions to the next one, modern monks usually don't have abhinna

[@VuNguyen-uu6tb]

I totally agree. He is a true Buddha in our modern society. According to Sogyal Rinpoche, who is the author of the well-known book named "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying", becoming a Buddha is not becoming a superman with magical abilties, but a true, genuine person.

[@TritiumCupcakes]

Very wise words. I found these words after finding out this man Rests In Peace. Your body may rest, but your words shall live eternal.

[@TathaC]

I wish I could speak to him for once face to face in my life....it feels like he can make all the pain go away..

[@Astrithor]

As a Christian, I don't think any other religion comes quite as close to the kind of love and harmony that Jesus preached than Buddhism. I may disagree with a number of their thoughts on spirituality, but the emphasis on peace, love, and care for all those around you and for your own self as well is beautiful.

Amazing - showing the mirror to all of, including the monks and those in power to live according Buddha's teachings can bring peace and a healthy mother earth - if we want.

I'm finally hearing someone else say what I've been saying my whole life. And I feel like an outcast. But no, I am on the right path.

[@GodOfGamblers81690]

I only found the teachings of Master Hanh recently, but he speaks a universal message of peace and love. I am so glad to have found this

difference is he is humble and does not seek attention like u clearly are ! he would be happy knowing at least someone with that view was being heard not winging cos he got the attention haha

[@luisa.8ssp]

Time may pass but even as the years go by these words have a greater positive impact on our lives. This speech is a reflection of the immortality that his peaceful presence has. Thank you very much dear Thay for illuminating our lives with the light of wisdom and genuine compassion.🙏🏻🤍😊✨

Thay is just amazing. Thanks so much for promoting peace and happiness.

[@patriciarosetimmers7730]

We love and accept the Buddhists as long as they are useful to us

[@sarahc7642]

As a Christian I've learned much from Thay. I believe both traditions can learn from one another. This will be the peace that Thay envisioned. And our way to contribute towards peace in the world. If we, practitioners, ourselves have prejudices against one another, what hope can there be for the world?

[@aralifefarming]

Much of my dharma studies have been zen then tibetan Vaj... teahings, but THich has been a reflection of compassion for so many and here in Houston there is a school in pearland that has me and my partner very interested in doing the full 4 year program, and then the teaching program. The dharma is a very important part of my life and now his. so the program in respect to THich would be very important to us. THe temple is only 15 misn from us in webster/friendswood texas.

[@christiangasior4244]

Thich is not a Tibetan Buddhist. He is from Vietnam and created a sect called “Engaged Buddhism”. I also think Zen is more pure and true to the essence of what Buddhism is about. Some of the Tibetan stuff seems arbitrary to me.

[@ramthian]

Thanks 🙏

[@Astrithor]

He was in his 80's here, but he seems almost timeless.

[@lesliewetter8769]

Listening to him speak awaken`s the heart of the compassionate mother within me. Listening with compassion is mindful listening with the heart. Or at least that's what I perceive.

To chant Buddha is to plant "good roots and good fortune", and its merits and virtues are inconceivable. There are ten specific benefits of reciting "Amitabha Buddha" regularly, as follows: 1. Automatically realize every thought of your own heart, every cell of your body, and make yourself in a state of peace and happiness. 2. A single Buddha’s name can make us let go of all karmic conditions, recite single-mindedness, recite emptiness, and eliminate distracting thoughts. 3. Reciting "Amitabha Buddha" allows us to mention "contemplation", to connect with the highest wisdom of life in the universe; to communicate with the instinct of the self, and to bring out the potential of human beings. Fourth, reciting "Amitabha Buddha" allows us to communicate with the Buddha, that is, the mind is a Buddha, that is, the body is a Buddha; not confused, not delusional, not stupid; away from mistakes and inversions. 5. Reciting "Amitabha Buddha" can enable us to recite the goodness of our nature and achieve perfection; the pure and good nature of others can also be brought out. 6. Reciting "Amitabha Buddha" can eliminate evil and cut off bad thoughts, and it is also effective for others; it can stop others' evil thoughts and evil actions, and eliminate demons and evils. 7. Reciting "Amitabha Buddha" can eliminate omissions and suffering; comprehensive thinking and empathy; all six sense organs, self and others. Eight, reciting "Amitabha" can recite transcendence, recite light; recite immeasurable and boundless enlightenment and sobriety. 9. Reciting "Amitabha Buddha" can recall that the self-nature embraces all things in the universe, illuminates the entire space of the dharma world, and all the dharmas. 10. Reciting "Amitabha Buddha" can have full precepts, concentration, and wisdom; awakening, righteousness, and purity; all actions and aspirations are fulfilled, and merit is achieved. .

One sutra beseems to draw from is the Heart Sutra which he's translated before he died which is used by my lama because he thinks it's one of the best translations. It is on Plum Village's website. The sutra comes from Nagarjuna's school Madhyamaka which he wrote several treatises on particularly 37 practices of a Bodhisattva. A book also well loved across the Mahayana path is The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva, an absolute luminary who taught the book in one sitting and dropped the mic at Nalanda. Thich Nhat Hanh is also a prolific author and translator, so there is lots to learn from this teacher, but I also recommend finding a sangha with a legitimate lineage like Plum Village. om mani padme hum may we realize nature of mind and bring all sentient beings without exception to that state. Bodhichitta is precious, may it arise in who it has not arisen and once arisen may it not diminish, but ever grow and flourish!

Very educative. 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.

This is a way to improve the relationship with the objective world and strive for freedom by transforming the subjective world. Its core is to transform knowledge into wisdom. Consciousness-only thinking uses eight consciousnesses to explain the structure of mind consciousness. The main function of the first six consciousnesses is cognition; the seventh and last consciousness is also called ego consciousness, which is the source of all troubles, so this consciousness answers the fundamental question of life and death in reincarnation. The eighth alaya is the mind body. It is the reason for the existence of life, the source of the continuous karmic cycle, and the source of the realization of the world’s dharmas, because the alaya is a kilesas, and the all dhammas manifested by it are also vain. You persist in feeling driven by inner peace,living environment does not indeed relied on signs.
