The Secret to Continuing Thay | Br. Phap Linh (Brother Spirit)

2022 03 10
There are so many urgent crises in the world and we may think, "If only Thay were still alive, he would know what to do." In this talk, Brother Phap Linh explains that Thay can be very alive in us, if we know how to practice. By applying the essence of Thầy's teaching on mindfulness of the body we can learn to be peace in our daily lives, and this can right away offer peace to those around us.
Thay loved life. Brother Phap Linh invites us to do the things that Thay loved to do, and not to do those things that could hurt "Thay in us". Then we will know what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say, to respond to the suffering in the world.
This poignant Dharma Talk was given in the Upper Hamlet on 10th March 2022, on the first day of the "Coming & Going in Freedom" weekend retreat to honor 49 days since Thich Nhat Hanh's passing.

[@ralcst-1977]

This is a wonderful Dharma Talk,....great presentation. I, as well as many, will also keep Thay next to use in body, mind, and spirit. He still lives in his works, his writings, and his books. Every time I re-read his books, it is like he is still with us! He will be sorely missed!!🥲🥲😇😇🙏🙏❤❤🕉☯🛐

The essence of Thay is all around us. We will sense it in our stillness. Even though we miss his form, his essence is eternal, everywhere in the cosmos. Thank you , Br Phap Linh!

Thank you for this elegant talk. "Learn to be peace" . I will stay with this line for a while.

[@23Bentley45]

Thank you for helping all of us to keep our beloved Thay alive. Thank you for guiding us on how to love ourselves. And thank you for asking for silence; sometimes I can hear more the toddlers in the sangha than the monk or nun speaking.

[@icarlyicarly3721]

I am very relieved that it came back because I thought it was over. I thought when I herd the news the best part or my life was over and never coming back. And it would only become darker on earth because the little light that was left on earth just blew out. But then I felt it. It was the same but I felt it stronger. I could feel ti helping me going into the bell. I been following ti for 7 years built a tower of devotion all the way to the moon. And I cried that he was dead. But he was true. He did not lie to me and he never abandon me and even after his body died. He's spirit was still here for me. Whispering darling I am here with you. Darling I love you. I will take good care of you now.

Thay taught us about the wonders of the Pure Land of the Buddha and The Kingdom of God...Thay is now part of all the wonders including our in breaths and out breaths...he is not separate from us...he never will be...🙏

Thank you, for such a calming, stabilising talk. Sometimes (most times!) I just need the reminder to remember the power of the present moment. 🎁 Peace and thank you.

No one on any of the dhamma channels talks about a crucial topic. This is money, financial stability. It will be great to see videos on how to stay in equanimity when suffering is triggered by lack of money, failing in earning money to live on this earth for one self and loved ones. The suffering caused by financial pain, no one shows how to be in equanimity in such a situation. Money impacts everything from having food, shelter, educating kids, hygiene, relationship, business, career and much more. Hey, it impacts us getting access to such videos, internet access requires money as well. It seems no one in dhamma wants to help on this crucial topic.

[@Amelie447]

Things are not as the TV news and politics show us. Look deeper, the story of this conflict in Ukraine is completely different from what we are told. This conflict has been planned since a very long time. Its all about money and power.

[@deionle9355]

this is not the place teaching you how to make money

[@iaminlearning1]

@@deionle9355 Please be mindful in your reading. Read the comment again. It never asked about making money. Trust you are aware of what equanimity is when one suffers. If not, please find out about it in the teaching of Dhamma.
