[iampeeay01]

the breathing in breathing out thing helped me relax and release my stress.. thank you for sharing this video.. :)

[uradragon]

Thank you for your presence when I asked for you to be here that we should breath together. It is now that all exists. In that grain of sand.

[thebreathingman]

interesting!

[StuartGilliganGriff]

That sucked.

[shiifu]

oooh I breath in ... and.. oh I follow... breathing out... ooh .. yes right there.. ooh!! yes.. OOOH!! hahaha omg.. that woman was sick., she was spoking like a pornstar

[turnurbackfreaks]

i red about her when i was in class 6 and troubled . It was a book by her ,which put into my troubled minds the essence of meditation .

i read many books on meditation but never was i able to find such a simple and practical book like hers . she is indeed very enlightend one , imust say ...a true buddha in disguise.wish i could met and meditate with her .

[chinho899]

@prashantjohn, just to tell u the bell has a purpose, it stimulate our inner consciousness and get our cakra open, it is the bell that sound like ommmmmm....and if u meditate by listening to this , u would realise that it get u into a deeper awareness

[happyjmc]

To the woman who videotaped (or narrated) this, I feel at peace listening to your voice, thank you <3

[bucetapussy]

Good night .. what I want to know and no one talks about. have I to inhale by the mouth and to exhale from the nose is that it?? or is the vice -versa.. or it does not matter at all????

[rezdoglatte]

@bucetapussy Many friends enjoy sitting meditation breathing only through their nose, with the tip of the tongue gently placed against the roof of the mouth. Sometimes breathing out through the mouth can facilitate being mindfully active outdoors, or let go of stress/anxiety more effectively. Find what works best for you. Much info is available on mindful breathing in meditation and yoga practices. Wishing you great success!

[jasonbroccoli]

@rezdoglatte I would also say that you shouldn't worry too much about that. :-D that is based on my own limited experience, but the most important thing is that you are meditating.

[pixusbubblejet]

@bucetapussy. Actually you are correct, it does matter the breathing order. The idea presented in this video is "Breathing In and then Breathing Out". But this is in fact a technique for short term energy burst commonly taught in physical education classes. It is the result of Westernization of physical education systems in Asia. In fact the correct traditional Buddhist breathing order for relaxed but alert mind is "Breathing Out and then Breathing In". My lineage is Tiantai which includes Zen.

[ArtMah]

I am reading a book by Thich Nhat Hanh. He has a very positive message.

[dbsk06]

im sorry but this woman's voice is retarded.

[mistresspav]

@dbsk06 I understand where you're coming from, but it's due to accent, chinese I would say and not that strong.

[supawanich00]

A friends recomended his book "Old Path White Cloud' to me over 15 years ago.I have read more than 15 times and still read it a few pages or so almost every night.Every time I read I always learn something new.I think it is his best book.I feel like I was there witnessing the day to day activities of The Buddha.

.

With deeper gratitude to Thich Nhat Hahn,my spiritual teacher that I never met,my living Bodhisatawa .

Thank you rezdoglatte for sharing the gift of Dharma.

[TheBarnabasShow]

Thich Nhat Hanh I have seen this name everywhere lately in the past three days! Great Video, I must find out more.

[creep2nyt]

i feel stressed out after listening to this.... i dont know why.

[prashantjohn]

@creep2nyt because when we stop and slow down we notice the weakness of our minds but that is the beginning to the powerful peace that eventually arrives from inside us. I like the analogy that it's only when we start really cleaning something that we notice the dirt.

[creep2nyt]

@prashantjohn I think it is the volume of the bell or gong...in our culture it is played in funerals and horror films... maybe that's why. I like the breathing exercises though but the sudden loud bell breaks the peaceful spell.

[MrDan081967]

wax on wax off my grass hopper

[artman772001]

That voice is absolutely terrible. I thought it was beginning meditation with TNH, not beginning meditation with film of him.

[taraeva426]

"Breathing meditation" with awareness of a sense of wellness and lightness. Sounds of a type gong after each affirmation. Lightness & Joy from this type of meditation to "Father/Mother God." "I am breathing in--I feel well, do you feel as light when I breath out, Mother?"

[roberts29625]

NICE

[mossberg451]

this is what everyone in the world needs in mindful meditation

[TOMP66666]

Thich Nhat Hanh be fooled by communist Vietnam!!!

In 2005 and 2007 Thich Nhat Hanh returned to Vietnam to help the communist regime to improve its bad image for religious oppression. In exchange, the communists promised to allow him to practice religion in Vietnam and establish Bat Nha monastery. But in September 2009, Vietnamese authorities launched a violent crackdown on his followers at the monastery, fearing his popularity among the youth could pose a threat to the communist leadership.

[thiminhthao]

Dear friend,

I don't understand you

[TOMP66666]

To jakedparent:

Go to BBC, AP, CNN,..to verify that Thich nhat Hanh did return to Vietnam twice in 2005 and 2007 and even had meetings with communist leaders in Vietnam including President Nguyen Minh Triet and retired General Vo Nguyen Giap.

[Blobb68]

So because he had meetings with the communist leaders he is a propaganda tool for the communist regime? There is a reason why he does not live in Vietnam.

[TOMP66666]

Thich nhat Hanh is just a propaganda tool for the communist regime in Vietnam. A leader of anti-war movement in Vietnam war, he turned a blind eye to Hue massacre of 5,000 civilians by Vietcong in 1968 and Vietnam invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978. In 2005 and 2007, he returned to Vietnam to help the communist regime to improve its bad image for human rights violations and religious oppression so that Vietnam could gain permanent normal trade status with the US and enter WTO.

[jakedparent]

Thich Nhat Hanh has not been back to Vietnam since he was exiled in the 60s.

[reforest4fertility]

Yes he has, but maybe only once, and that was in the last few years.

[Spiritualseeker86]

Thich nhat hanh is present with each of our breaths.

[aloozer]

thing about Thich Nhat Hanh's books are too simple, such that it seems to me there's something cryptic about it. that's not to doubt his level of attainment of course.

[rezdoglatte]

Simple & poetic, yes. But also a clear and powerful instruction is offered. After experiencing the miracle of your own awareness it will not seem cryptic.

b well

[kalijunfan1]

Sometimes people think that if things are diffucult to understand or achieve it must be better, but just about everything is better in it's simplest form.

[aloozer]

well, i've had my fair share of interest put in Lord Buddha's teachings. but i've sorta given up. it'd helped me to a certain extent but sometimes i think yes it'd helped me and no it had not helped me. whatever.

[babblecon]

I wonder if we expect too much, our desire is to powerful? I want something from practice. What do we seek? And is that why we are not satisfied?

[aloozer]

@babblecon i don't know. maybe we need to try harder, maybe we're looking in the wrong places, maybe we're doing it wrong. could be any reason.

[reeceh78]

@aloozer notice the nature of your own insight, we are constantly tied up in things that we think are helping us or not, buddhism teaches that every moment is impermanent, so whether it helps or not in that moment is only your interpretation, and is beside the point of life; life "not helping" is only one aspect of you, but life is showing you all aspects of yourself, and if you cannot be mindful of yourself, you will experience yourself over and over again as whatever your "problem" is.

[aloozer]

@reeceh78 it cannot be coined up just about being 'mindful'. life is way more complicated in this and that. i mean no disrespect to the buddha-dhamma, t's just that as much as we would like to 'practise', we cannot deny the need to stay relevant in this world and i've come to a point where it all sounds nice and good but sometimes not applicable, yet. not so practical sometimes. we are worldly people, not monks.

[reeceh78]

@aloozer actually life is only as complicated as you make it, and as "complicated" as you can say it is, it can too be said to be simple. There is no complexity without utter simplicity. stay "relevant" in this world is exactly what we do, regardless of whether your a monk or a "worldly" person(whatever that means), you are always living relatively to how you perceive the world. the truth is always applicable, its not about staying relevant, its being aware of that relevance...

[aloozer]

@reeceh78 stfu and take your e-dhamma elsewhere. i've got more pressing issues to deal with.

[reeceh78]

@aloozer im sorry if i sounded condscending

[MisoraOkada]

@aloozer

complication does not always mean power,

simple things could have as just as 1000 greater power than something that is complicated

[mushie1221]

@aloozer with continued practice, the same passages take on a myriad of different meanings :)

[sunidak]

@aloozer

Yes. He is a simplistic guy --but fashionable. Maybe the simplistic part is the reason for his popularity.

[RobertODurantE2010]

@aloozer that is his power, because simple is the key to awareness of consciousness, to the Divine Light and Eternal Love

[Spiritualseeker86]

If there is a buddha in our time it is Thay Thich Nhat hanh

[NashvilleJermz]

so true!!

[Mrkingkong888]

Nice accent, lol

[musxlvr2]

Each moment, beauty

Each moment, opportunity

Each moment, peace

[kensei85]

Beautiful, thank you.

[rezdoglatte]

Thich Nhat Hanh's "pebble for your pocket" meditation is now posted in rezdoglatte to help you come back to a peaceful center

[LORDKRISHAN02]

Thank you so much for this posting video it really helps me learn how to do this I am new to meditiating it has been difficult for me to really grasp it ,thanks again for this post. Nita.

[rezdoglatte]

Perhaps reading and recording the meditations in Thich Nhat Hanh's books will be relaxing also. My favorites are in "the Miracle of Mindfulness", "Blooming of a Lotus", and "Teachings on Love."

Peaceful breaths, david

[stephen53847]

Thank you for your time, and the sharing.

[alcoholichealer]

He, to me personally, is a divine entrity

[IsabelOK]

Gracias... mil gracias por poner este video!

[thewayoutisin]

i would have appreciated this video much more if the translation wasn't part of it. There are more enough of Thay giving lecture in English. Please post it with your interpretation if you could. I would like to hear Thay speak in Vietnamese. Thanks.

[alcoholichealer]

this is the most phenomenal way of viewing meditation which i ever have heard

what a god he is

[lukatme2]

I met him once. He is not a god, he is a real human being.

[llEeyore02ll]

I have also met him, I don't think he want be considered as a god.. He just wants to be seen as a teacher, a person that teaches you how to beware of the present moment.

[lukatme2]

yes, in fact, he like to be called Thay, which means teacher

[thesearethesuns]

Thank you

[madmax424]

i found this to be very relaxing,helped me meditate w/o even trying!what a gift.

[rezdoglatte]

Thanks. Sister D, from Deer Park, has a caring voice.

The kid in you may like "today's day wake up" meditation.

[madmax424]

Thanx,I did enjoy 'wake up".am sure you're enjoying your day in deer park,I had the pleasure of retreat in 2005 when Thay was there.smiles madmax424
