Love is Freedom - Earth Retreat Solstice Celebration

Plum Village 2023-09-13 | During the June 2023 “Love is Freedom” – Earth Retreat at Plum Village in France, participants from around the world, in person and online, gathered together for a week of reflection and practice. Together, they pondered the question:

“In the midst of global biodiversity, social and climate crises, how can love show us the way?”

Invited guests included indigenous wisdom keepers from the Americas and Africa, who joined a solstice celebration including all their traditions.

This short film features Joshua Konkankoh (https://africanway.world/about-us/our-team/) and Mindahi Bastida (sacredstories.com/ssp/mindahi-bastida), from Cameroon and Mexico respectively, discussing both the ceremony and the politics of love with Plum Village Dharma teacher Sister Chân Lực Nghiêm (plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/sister-luc-nghiem).

Monastery Jam #2 - We Are All The Leaves of One Tree

Plum Village 2023-07-25 | One chilly winter afternoon, some brothers and friends in Plum Village, France sat on our teacher's deck, enjoyed drinking tea and playing some mindful grooves together. We hope you enjoy it too!

Lyrics:
We are all the leaves of one tree
We are all the leaves of one tree
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the leaves of one tree.

We are all the waves of one sea
We are all the waves of one sea
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the waves of one sea

We are all the stars of one sky
We are all the stars of one sky
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the stars of one sky

We are all the leaves of one tree
We are all the waves of one sea
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the stars of one sky

Finding Our True Home | Sister Dinh Nghiem

Plum Village 2023-06-18 | Where is our true home? Is it a particular place with particular people within a particular culture? What if we had to leave our "home"? Or lost the people we held most dear? Or grew up in a culture vastly different to that of our parents'?

In this deeply moving talk, Sister Dinh Nghiem ("Adornment with Concentration") shares her experience as a child of a refugee family, the death of her father, finding Thay as her teacher and touching peace in the practice of dwelling truly in the present moment.

The talk was given as part of a themed retreat for young people of Asian heritage who were born or grew up in the west.

Plum Village 2023-05-25 | By becoming mindful of our emotions we can respond appropriately instead of reacting to a challenging situation. This is the art of mindfulness that we can cultivate in our daily life, to be the change we want to see in the world.

Recorded on 30.03.23 @ Plum Village, Upper Hamlet.

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?

To end the Dharma Talk, Sr. Trang Tu Hieu and Sr. Trang Hien Tam offered the song "The Sun is Rising", composed by Sr. Trang Tu Hieu.

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.

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.

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.

Plum Village Band - Little Star - Ft. Born I and Brother Phap Huu

Plum Village 2023-02-20 | Words by Thich Nhat Hanh. Music by Sister Hieu Duc. Rap by Born I (www.bornimusic.com) Recorded at Plum Village, France in summer 2022.

LYRICS
"Today the kingdom of Heaven
Held a festival for thousands of stars
I went up to that kingdom
Knelt down and prayed
That the anguish, the killing, the disaster
In our poor land would end.”

Where have you been, little star?
I’ve been looking for you everywhere
Out of my window among the dark clouds

Where have you been, little star?
I feel so forlorn
Like a small bird lost on a foggy island

It has been raining for nights
Late night on the sidewalk
I see the silhouettes of lonely, wet forms

I’ve tried to call your image
From deep in my consciousness
While the rain and the wind continue to rage

Tonight as I bend over my desk
My head in my two hands
The wind has carried all the clouds away
The sky is clear
The rain has stopped longing for your call
I’m surprised to see you there
You have returned
Little star!

[Rap]
I’ve been looking at the stars in the distance
I’ve been looking in my heart for resistance
I’ve been searching in the self for existence
all alone by myself Reminiscent
underneath the Bodhi tree but it isn’t only me
you and I collective energy how it’s s’posed to be
I hope to be the ocean tide With my spirit open wide standing on a mountain top see the world with open eyes
I was so surprised
to know that I’m a part of this
Sunrise sunset
rain clouds all of it
The journey of awakening taking it with one step
one breath
save all beings till there’s none left
Suffering is painful
but I’m still the same fool
searching for the river
while I’m swimming in the same pool
Maybe we can find it
keep the light shining
walking on the path of ancestors behind me
If you could be the person
who you are in your heart
would you grow a little bit
or would you play a bigger part
Love is a paintbrush
life is the biggest art
and I’m still the same kid
wishing on a little star

Where have you been, little star?
I’ve been looking for you everywhere
Out of my window among the dark clouds

Where have you been, little star?
I feel so forlorn
Like a small bird lost on a foggy island

It has been raining for nights
Late night on the sidewalk
I see the silhouettes of lonely, wet forms

I’ve tried to call your image
From deep in my consciousness
While the rain and the wind continue to rage

Dear little star
You have been through such storms, rain, and wind
For how long and on what strange land have you been weeping?
You’ve come back
Your little body, still shivers will cold
With tears in your eyes
You recalled
You’ve been praying for our homeland

Your voice has reached the stars
transformed to teardrops
Trembling in the air
I’m sending deep thanks to
Countless little stars
With diamond-strong faith
You are like flowers, blooming everywhere

My little star, you are back home
With tears in my eyes
I call your name
And feel the warmth in my heart

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.
