The Five Spiritual Powers (Plus One) | Thich Nhat Hanh

In this Dharma Talk given in 2004, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us about the Five Spiritual Powers, classically made up of faith (or confidence), diligence (or energy), mindfulness, concentration, and insight. Here, Thay adds a sixth power, the power of letting go. Thay shows us how to cultivate each of these seeds so that they can work together to become a tremendous source of joy, happiness and liberation.

A deep bow to Thay! 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@mistykaikai]

Such meaningful teachings and we need to practise the five thoughts he takes us through now more than ever in a world that we see all too often fall into violence, prejudice, anger and greed. I love Thay's gentle humour shining through as he explains such profound ideas with such simplicity that we can understand just by listening. It is so rare and so sweet for all to start smiling when a venerable man of wisdom shares guidance from the Buddha.
