Thank You Mr Thich Nhat Hanh

[@devonseamoor]

Thank you, SourceOfLightMon, for saving and publishing this teaching of a wise man who fully walks his talk. He embodied all the qualities that he teaches here, and the simplicity of the truths, expressed in this beautiful way touches and comforts my heart. Through the years that I've listened to the teachings of the Buddha, through the mouth of Thay, I've realized that only through this simple and practical man I'm able to grasp the essence of it. Buddhism, to me, is the place in the middle, between the force that tries to turn us into materialistic dense and controlled beings, believing that only matter and ratio counts, and the force that tries to mesmerize us, in a metaphysical lusting, ignoring our presence in/with the body and feelings that are ready to show us the way to who we are as human being alive on planet Earth, interacting with other living beings. Which, to me, is the doorway to realizing love by out practical work, motivated by the warmth of our heart, fulfilling our role on planet Earth, igniting the flowering of human consciousness. To me, Buddhism, is also the Christ consciousness, the compassionate ability to walk that tight rope, with these two forces at each end. A balancing act, with these 2 forces holding that rope, creating opportunties to experience, try out, choose, and find what works for us in life and love. Freedom of expression is the only way to embody what is learned, and walk our talk.

May all beings be well, happy, comfortable, and peaceful. May no harm come to them, may no difficulties come to them, may no problems come to them, and may they live with ease.

The 'Pebble Meditation starts at 35:16 and is marvelous. This is a short centering that brings people back to essential principles of well being in a quick, very effective, immediate way. Thich Nhat Hanh says: "I see myself as a flower,' I do not imagine, I see myself as a flower. A flower is always fresh. We human beings are a kind of flower in the garden of humanity" Beautiful! We can see ourselves as a flower. Offer our freshness and beauty to the world"

[@MelissaDuffySacredBreath]

Melissa Duffy Teachers throughout the world can use this with students of all ages. For all who are suffering, listening to and practicing this simple "Pebble Meditation" will restore your freshness if you practice this fully, with all of your being.

May all sentient beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May all sentient beings be free of sorrow and the causes of sorrow. May all sentient beings have bliss and equanimity. Om Mani Padme Hum

As a being May I thank you sincerely for your kindness

The teaching of Thich Nhat Hanh about the body, the mindful breathing, and the following of the in- and outbreath, to me, is as profound as it's simple. Always, when I listen to Thay's words, his teachings, there's a recollection of some sort, a recognition, something familiar, in their content. On 2nd Xmas Day Dec. 26th I've enjoyed the evening with this presentation, in The Netherlands. And I marvel at the calm speaking and calm moving around, of Thay, compared to many other presentations on KZbin, that are often presented in windforce 10, especially now, with the world upside down. Minds in turmoil. Thank you very much. Cảm ơn bạn 💎

[@alanbrooks9439]

you have changed my way of thinking thank u

[@Markbenwisch]

So in this video I learned that meditating shall lead to imagine ones self as a flower. That's flower power through stillness, sitting and breathing in and out. Now, after years of meditation, I know, I always were a cactus where others wanted me to be a daisy. But you can't change the nature of a cactus. And always remember to have a glass of applejuice!
