[@divalivingston1664]

I was unhappy most of the time and this discontentment was causing me adverse effects and was alienating me from people who I constantly judged. It took a lot of effort to put meditation as a priority. I changed my diet too and began taking a walk outside most days and journaling. It has helped.

[@TherealMrsCothrine]

I love Thich Nhat Hanh and I like to listen to him every night. How can anyone give Thich Nhat Hanh a thumbs down?

[@Michaeljs28]

Those that are living either in the past or in the future.

[@dyrtey]

It's not that hard. In the end it is just on click. And you can find a myriad of reasons… ignorance, fear, hatred, anger, lack of understanding and so on.

[@marklawson2871]

I try to find compassion for anyone who give this a thumb down.. They must be suffering.

[@alive060692]

Hello, i hope you are all in peace.. 2years ago this man changed my life..

[@OccamsPhazer]

Im staying with my parents to survive covid. We are getting along and learning. Ive been at odds with them for most of my life. Ive been listening to, and practicing the meditations and breathing for about 4 months now. Getting in touch with my own suffering and sorrow; attending to them in ways new to me. I listen to the book The Art of Peaceful Communication, also by thich. Its been life changing. I learn more each day. In breathe. Out breathe. I always start there. Thank you.

[@smokyo7855]

SuperSportFitness ... thank you for saying this. I’m about to travel to FL to visit my mother who is now in hospice. My brother and wife who live there are extremely aggressive and think Covid is a ‘scamdemic.’ I struggle with being in their company so I’m preparing myself mentally. I’m feeling very nervous and apprehensive. Breathe

[@livestrong1976]

How has the breathing helped you? I don't quite understand it, can you give me some examples so maybe it would help me understand

[@baptm727]

Yes breathing is everything

[@Mark00747]

My story is exactly the same as yours! Although it is sometimes hard, communication with my parents is getting better and better. I read books of Eckhart Tolle and Neale Donald Walsch, they might be worth looking into as well!

[@ThatOneRump]

19:31 really taught me a valuable lesson. I suffer from hallucinations on a daily basis, but understanding the emotions of fear i feel and understanding that I’m the only thing that’s real is why I live. Buddhism has so much to teach the world, and I cannot be more thankful to this man and the mindset he shares.

[@fluidstatic5564]

Thay passed away today. Thank You, Teacher, for your incredible body of work and your impact on all of us.

Mantras: I smile to my eyes - I am happy to have eyes so that I can see I see my self as a flower - I feel fresh I see my self as a mountain - I feel solid I see my self as still water - I reflect things as they are I see my self as space - I am free I am alive - I smile to my self ❤️❤️❤️ Thich Nhat Hanh

I made a summery of the meditation exercices 2:13 in / out | breathing in, I know that I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know that I am breathing out. 9:30 eyes / smile | Breathing in I am aware of my eyes, Breathing out I smile to my eyes. 14:12 flower / fresh | Breathing in, I see myself as a flower. Breathing out, I feel fresh. 18:32 Mountain / Solid | Breathing in, I see myself as a mountain. Breathing out, I feel solid. 22:49 Water / Reflecting | Breathing in, I seel myself as still waters. Breathing out, I reflect things as they are (own interpretation) 26:07 Space / Free | Breathing in, I see myself as space. Breathing out, I feel free

[@melodylai6118]

being in the present moment is powerful. it is the answer to life.

[@DeeJayKoek]

Yes it can be painful, but trying to escape will hurt even more in the end. 'The only way out is in' I love that phrase.

[@holm3165]

May I ask, what it exactly means. Does it mean always to accept whatever comes? Or does it also mean to have a broaden view on the current world. Please let me use an example: because I am I'll, I cannot go to holiday. I am very sad and angry. Should the proper reaction be: yes I am angry and sad and I am accepting it. Or should also be another factors be involved like surrounding sounds, the nature to see that this is not the central and the only point of my life. I would very appreciate, if someone could explain it to me. I am struggling with this aspect.

[@acsentu8]

I was raised Christian, in the Baptist church...although I have always had These Teachings in me. I have always been drawn to the peacefulness of this way of life. Mindfulness, meditations, Crystal healing, gong therapy and Chakra balance. There is really no transition to this from Christianity, because love is All and All is love, if it is within you.

[@paragozar]

It transcends religion, it is a practice we can do even in our last moments. I wonder how many Christians today are learning this?

[@acsentu8]

Exactly right!

“Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die.” From: ‘At Home in the World’ by Thich Nhat Hanh - published in 2016. 21.1.22.🙏

[@kennystarfighter9919]

@1:00 Thank you for much for this Thich Nhat Hanh. If i ever become a father.you explain Very important points. Parents of mine was unaware of some seeds of suffer and it affected for a long time from childhood to adulthood. Til i opened up. This is a good lesson to everyone who wanna become a parent. If you cant deal with you suffering, u will plant the suffering in the child to. When someone makes me suffer i alwayys now use the power of compassion since we know that a peron who suffer makes other suffer if it doesn't takke care of. You are a gift to the world Thich Nhat Hanh. With such insightm or maybe some call it enlightment is lacking today in the society i live in. I see a lot of suffering and you motivated me to help people suffer less. You are my biggest teacher

very soothing, inspirational and beautiful examples of mindfulness. thank you so much for posting.

[@ericwong3746]

At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from everything around him and whatever happening inside or outside of him. Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw and met this person before and everything looks utterly new.

It will be your Continuation Day, your 95th Birthday in a few days, on 11th October 2021, and I wish you joy. Thanks to your books and the videos and recordings, you will always be with us, in spirit, if not in body. Metta 🙏🙏🙏

[@monkemind420]

i felt so alone. i burnt my bridges. i opened my eyes. i almost took my own life. i sit here under this walnut tree. this is where i met mother earth. i'd like to thank my family for not being there for me. when they told me they give up on me it made me blame myself. i let go of the hate i felt. it became clear. it was the reflection of me through their eye's. an image of what i once was. try not to approach people based off of preconceived elements. people cant change but when they change the world around them they can achieve balance i think.

I have Thich Nhat Hanh, my friend James, and myself to thank for my spiritual self. I always felt as Buddhist feel about life... morals, peace, love ,mindfulness, forgiveness, non-attatchment,and so on. However , I never knew Buddhism (or much about it I should say). A trip home from Chicago , two friends, one of which bought me a book by Thich Nhat Hanh. That book tied together my life with Buddhism. I guess you could say it found me. Thank you ,Thich Nhat Hanh, James, Darla, and each one of you. I'm forever grateful. 🙏🕉

To this Group. What percentage of our time do you estimate that we are thinking either of the future, or of the past. When I posed this question to myself, and disregarded the time I spend at work behind a computer, I came up with about 99%, maybe even more. My honest answer to myself made me wonder how different or the same my thought patterns/habits might be to others. Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this.

[@YanKayary]

🙏

[@SemiPerfectDark]

That's funny as soon as I started reading your question 99% popped into my mind, haha. I was just talking to someone today about how sometimes I will be taking a shower, and then I will intentionally try to bring my mind and body into the same place. So I will look around and say to myself wow my mind and my body are both having a shower together. And I find it blissful

[@Okijuben]

Yes, friend. I think this difficulty you speak of is a widespread phenomenon, if not a universal problem for most of humankind. We developed these patterns of thinking over countless generations of ancestors who needed this trait of planning and anticipating events in order to survive. Practice makes it easier to find your 'in the now' stride so keep at it. This is a reminder to myself as well, that it's okay to suck at meditation. In the land of well-being and inner peace, 50 percent is still way better than nothing. I really got a lot out of the Dialectical Behavior (DBT) approach. Good luck!
