Balance in the Spiritual Life | Sr. Trai Nghiem Plum Village 2023-05-07 | Before taking a deep dive into our suffering, practicing mindfulness according to the breathing exercises taught in the Anapanasati Sutta increases our capacity for happiness and joy. In this way, we are able to hold our deep suffering.Thay regularly taught his students to balance the spiritual life among the four spiritual pillars: work/service, practice, study, and play. Sister Trai Nghiem offered concrete examples of practicing the four pillars and posed these questions for us to ponder in our lives as mindfulness practitioners. How do we enjoy and create joy in our daily activities? How do we know if the work we are doing is supporting the purpose of our life?

Peace in Your Heart | Sister Chan Duc (True Virtue) | 2022 12 11 | Rains Retreat Talk #11 Plum Village 2023-04-25 | In the Sutra on the Eight Realizations of Great Beings, we read “the mind is always looking outside of itself and never feels fulfilled”. How can we overcome this constant running and come back to our true home? The obstacle to our peace of mind is our inability to dwell in the present moment. In this Dharma Talk, Sister True Virtue shares how we can practice the 4 establishments of mindfulness as well as the 16 exercises of mindful breathing in order to get out of the state of dispersion of our mind. Rather than trying to attain something, we can experience each breathing exercise with ease. If we give ourselves a chance to recognise and accept a painful feeling, we can be at peace.We also have the example of Ancestral Teachers who practiced being fulfilled in the present moment. Master Tang Hoi, King Tran Thai Thong, King Tran Nhan Thong, and Master Nhat Dinh, are all real examples of applied and engaged Buddhism. In the midst of a busy life, they were able to be at peace and share the practice with countless people. ______________________________________________________________________________________Please participate in supporting Thich Nhat Hanh’s community and legacy at: plumvillage.org/supportPlease help us offer videos in other languages by creating subtitles for our videos, please create an account at Amara.com: amara.org/enSend a message to our Amara account: amara.org/en/profiles/profile/6CaUc7u6E--veOhtyytPBpm2GUSdYuiaQ32XqujWKgoA tutorial on how to use Amara: youtube.com/watch?v=eDgl1lFbbKU
Breathe and Remember | Sr. Tai Nghiem | 2022 12 01 | Rains Retreat Lay Day Talk 11 Plum Village 2023-04-05 | The flower only exists if we are present for it. Life is miraculous. Only when we are present are we fully living. What are the things that stop us from fully living? It is our worries, fears, physical pain, regrets, shame, frustration … The practice of mindfulness helps us to not suppress difficult or strong emotions when they arise. This avoids creating internal knots that may become stronger over time. We learn to recognize our strong emotions, embrace them so the seeds in the depth of consciousness weaken. Only then are we able to clearly see the roots of suffering. When we practice together, we are building a community that, in the face of collective despair, is resilient. Through songs, poetry, and her precious moments with Thay, Sister Tại Nghiêm (Sister “Adornment with Presence”) inspires us to grow the seeds of mindfulness. *******Please participate in supporting Thich Nhat Hanh’s community and legacy at: plumvillage.org/supportPlease help us offer videos in other languages by creating subtitles for our videos, please create an account at Amara.com: amara.org/enSend a message to our Amara account: amara.org/en/profiles/profile/6CaUc7u6E--veOhtyytPBpm2GUSdYuiaQ32XqujWKgoA tutorial on how to use Amara: youtube.com/watch?v=eDgl1lFbbKU
The Four Kinds of Nutriments: Change Yourself to Change the World | Sister Harmony Plum Village 2023-03-08 | We all have aspirations, dreams, joys and sorrows deep in our hearts. But are we aware that anything we want to cultivate needs food to grow? In Buddhist psychology, we learn that there are four kinds of nutriments: edible food, sense impressions, volition, and consciousness. In terms of edible food, are we consuming in a way that sustains our health and nourishes our heart of compassion?As for sense impressions, do we take the time to develop friendship and bonding in our daily lives or are we constantly being hooked to our devices? Do we recognize the stress, intensity and addiction that spending so much time on our devices brings about for ourselves, our family and our society?When it comes to volition, we are speaking about our deep aspiration. What kind of aspirations do we pursue in life? The Five Mindfulness Trainings give us very clear and concrete guidelines on how to live our daily life with compassion and the insight of interbeing. We need the awareness and determination of every individual on Earth to reverse the process of global warming. The fourth kind of nutriment, consciousness, is both individual and collective. For us to be able to realize our potential, we need to be in a wholesome environment. With the practice and the sangha, we can generate mindfulness and love for us and others to take refuge in. recorded on 8 January 2023.Please participate in supporting Thich Nhat Hanh’s community and legacy at: plumvillage.org/supportPlease help us offer videos in other languages by creating subtitles for our videos, please create an account at Amara.com: amara.org/enSend a message to our Amara account: amara.org/en/profiles/profile/6CaUc7u6E--veOhtyytPBpm2GUSdYuiaQ32XqujWKgoA tutorial on how to use Amara: youtube.com/watch?v=eDgl1lFbbKU

True Spiritual Friendship | Br. Phap Huu, Sr. True Dedication Plum Village 2023-02-08 | from 2022 11 03, Rains Retreat, Lay Day, Talk 7.How can we embrace our ancestors that we have never met?This and the below questions were addressed by Brother Phap Huu and Sister True Dedication in this "a-la-carte Dharma Talk". * How can we understand our deep suffering from our store consciousness, especially circumstances inherited from our family?* How do I practice compassion and reconciliation when I’ve decided to cut ties or establish boundaries with family members?* What is the difference between letting go and giving up?* What are your experiences while meditating?* How to keep a balance between attachment and support in spiritual friendships?Did you know that even zen monks and nuns have boundaries and need to know their own capacities while practicing mindfulness in the sangha? Brother Phap Huu and Sister Hien Nghiem shared their personal experiences on the importance of having spiritual friendships, supporting one another on the path, and that by setting boundaries, we are compassionate to ourselves and love is more accessible for others when we are recharged. Acknowledging our capacities in our individual practice, we imagine ourselves sitting on a boat peeking at our suffering. We don’t need to go seeking for the sea monsters deep in the abyss of our store consciousness. With the practice of mindfulness, our suffering naturally arise from our store consciousness. When suffering or habits arises, we can be curious and ask “who are you?” Allowing us to be curious about which of our ancestors are present in us; whether or not we have met them. When we come to retreats, we think that we are going “alone.” In fact, we are bringing our whole family and ancestral lineage. If we are lucky, we will be renewed and have a deeper taste of what it means to be human.Please participate in supporting Thich Nhat Hanh’s community and legacy at: plumvillage.org/supportPlease help us offer videos in other languages by creating subtitles for our videos, please create an account at Amara.com: amara.org/enSend a message to our Amara account: amara.org/en/profiles/profile/6CaUc7u6E--veOhtyytPBpm2GUSdYuiaQ32XqujWKgoA tutorial on how to use Amara: youtube.com/watch?v=eDgl1lFbbKU
