    This man saved my sanity and thusly my life with this teaching. He's plain and simply a hero...
  • @5hydroxyT
    he always explains ‘spiritual ‘ concepts in such a straightforward manner...he never tries to dazzle or complicate with his words. Such a great teacher
  • Although I always pay attention, you don't even have to pay attention to what he's saying. Just the peace and love in his voice is a blessing 💖🙏🏼

    I don’t regret the past but I’m sad that part of my life is over. This is my cow. Thinking about the past that is gone is very painful. Children grown and out of the house. All of family older. I am missing out on the present when I am sad. I pray that I can let go and accept life on life’s terms. Then there’s the future which I can be fearful about. Like losing my parents, we all die etc. Another cause of sadness which is painful. Past and future keep me from enjoying my life, the present moment. Letting go is very relevant and I loved this talk. I have to let my cows go. Love to all.
  • Thich Nhat Hanh is such a gift to humanity and Mother Earth. His teachings should be included in ALL curriculum.

    When I look around and see newspapers and watch some news items I feel most humans are living empty lives with the only purpose of gaining wealth and sense pleasure and trying to avoid suffering.Thay sensibly says that many people take refuge in shopping,watching films and going on holiday in order to heal the suffering..I think in order to live more freely I’ve found it necessary to look deeply into life and death and learn the art of suffering so we suffer less..I’ve been reading Thays books for 30 years and it has helped me transform many negative energies..I still have fear at times but when it arises I tried to hold it like Thay suggests and it does then have less impact..I like Thays words as they are non dogmatic too..thanks my friend
  • He teaches us that life is simple. We, with all our dramas, make it complicated.
  • Letting go is a wonderful practise that brings freedom, joy and peace. My attachments has caused me to suffer a lot. If we are honest with ourself, we might see our attachments that cause us to suffer. Letting go is hard many times, but u can do it! U deserve to suffer less. We all do! I still work on them. And i know for a fact its obstacles for my joy and happiness.. I hope u all have a great life with much joy and happiness! We are all pretty much the same and are here with each other. Nobody deserve to overwhelm with suffering, my feeling is that such a person like this is very important for us right now. He helped me to realise that my running towards objects of craving is a hinderance for my peace and happiness. Many of us suffer, as my self. This man learned me that suffering is not bad, cuz if u know how ot suffer. U suffer less.. I wish u all peace, joy and happiness and dont feel weak if u suffer. Without suffering u cannot know happiness.

    Thick Nhat Hanh makes sense of the complexities of our lives that we create. Realising we have the choice to let go is the most empowering realisation of all, even letting go of disease... Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼☯🌈🌍
  • Death cannot part you from the one you love .❤ ,for love will always claim its own .Your sorrow is based on ignorance .With knowledge you could be sure that the one you love ❤ is closer than ever he or she has been before .You could taste some of the joy that comes with appreciation of an understanding of spiritual reality . Do not mourn because a caterpillar has become a beauteous butterfly .Do not weep because the cage has been opened and the bird has been set free ! Rejoice and know that the enfranchisement soul has found liberty and that ,if you would but unfold the powers that the Great Spirit has given you,you could share some of the new beauty and joy which is theirs .You could understand the plan of death and realise that death s but a stepping stone,a door through which you enter into the larger freedom of realms of the spirit ...
  • Very beautiful. Explained a complex thing in such a simple way. Lots of gratitude.
  • I'm sick and my family it's a very stressful time for us, county and globally But listening to this i laughed and realized life now is better than having cows. Thank you
