Stopping is very important in our practice. If we can stop, healing will take place right away. Stop doing what brings us suffering, anger and despair. The moment you decided to stop, you feel very light. And the practice of Five Mindfulness Trainings is crucial to our healing.
Can you create a moment of happiness? Through the practice of mindfulness, we are capable to create moments of joy and happiness in our daily life. Take an example, to cook soup we need water, vegetables, tofu. And most of us are capable to cook good soup. To create a moment of little happiness is like that. With some ingredients, we are capable of creating moments of happiness for us and for the others. You need to learn how to create moments of happiness, and to savour moments of little happiness in our daily life.
We practice to stop our NST Non-Stop Thinking Radio, the discourse going on inside us. Stop in order to feel what is happening in the here and now; to feel what is happening in the here and now in order to stop. To feel your body, to be aware of each feeling and to embrace them. We do not chew again and again our sorrow, fear and anger, that is not good for our health. We offer ourselves healthy nutriments. We learn how to walk, sit, eat, do things in our daily life happily and joyfully. Any moment of practice can heal and can help heal other people.
(This is the talk of Thay given on the Daffodil Festival Day of Mindfulness in the Dharma Cloud Temple of Plum Village, France)

The world has lost one of the greatest teachers of all time. I bow in reverence to the Master of peace.

Coughing is part of the process of healing. Thay says in this talk that many people come to Plum Village for healing. When we hear coughing it is like the bell reminding us to celebrate the presence of healing.

The coughing is annoying, but then I realised sitting through the coughing without letting it get to me is part of the practice.

" Do not wander anymore, go home "... what a powerful guidance

I’m watching this with two fractured arms and from the moment I broke them my mantra has been my bones and body are healing in miraculous ways ! I tell my arms how much I love them , as they saved me from landing face first onto a road .... the gratitude I have for my body is immense ... our capacity to heal both physically and emotionally is incredible ... I’ve accepted the situation and have surrendered into the process and I’ve found deep happiness and peace .... this hasn’t been a ‘bad’ experience .... it’s given me the time to dive deep within and pause !

you may feel suffering all day. but with all that weighing down your mind and body all you need to do is rest. before you do anything, first be still and let your body heal. move your body slowly when possible. and creat and enjoy a moment where you are not thinking about your pain, you are not provoking it, you are not imprisoned in it or your body, it is temporary. our bodys suffering is a quaking mess. but you are pure bliss when you remove the suffering.

I just found you Thich Nhat Hanh and I am grateful for you. In the past I focused on myself, my career, my son and worldly possessions until I unintentionally became my mother's sole nursemaid caring for her around the clock as she suffered from Alzheimer. When she passed away, after a few years I recognized the change in me. What I thought was most important pales in comparison. I instinctively feel and express more compassion and empathy for others. And, when that happens I feel a sense of inner healing, peace and enlightenment. I know from personal experience that your compassionate teaching is true, honest and pure. I will pray for your health and healing. Thank you for sharing your light of wisdom.

As a lay person operating in very challenging situations, I have become devoted to Thay, my teacher. I take delight and comfort in this dharma talk, and am listening as I often do, while I commute to work. Thank you Plum Village. I wish I had a the benefit of others along the way, but you all will have to be my virtual sangha. 🙏☮️❤️

Eine so liebenswerte, herzliche, weise Persönlichkeit. Seine allumfassende Liebe, seine übermächtige Zuversicht und seine Erleuchtung strahlt zu allen Wesen in seiner Umgebung, die ihn hören, erleben und alle die seine Bücher lesen. Ein grosser Meister, ein würdiges Vorbild, ein grosses Lebenswerk. Herzlichen Dank für alles.
