Mindful walking for Peace and happiness I love it .

[DeepMeditationAudio]

Nice job. I love the subject of meditation and the brain.

"each step brings you back to the present moment, which is the only moment in which you can be alive." i love it. <3

[happyrock3]

Not one of his best tapes, clearly recorded quite some time ago. I think he would choose his words differently now. To act "happy" is not consistent with being "peaceful" or "serene" if one is feeling unhappy or suffering since then acting happy would imply struggle, yet he uses the word as a synonym here. And in fact, his smile appears artificial, quite different from his appearance in later videos, in which he encourages the acceptance of suffering, as being far more on the mark.

"Peace is every step" is a great mantra to use when practicing walking meditation. It sets a nice pace for the walk. Regarding Thay's comments about the Pure Land, I am mindful of his calligraphy that reads, "The Pure Land is Now or Never." We are very blessed to have such a wise and compassionate teacher alive and among us at this time.

Unable. Unable. Unable. If that is not hell, what is? I am unable. There is something greater than my misery. Unable to see it. Some say "do this". Some say "do that". All I know is misery. I can see that seeking to escape my misery is my misery. some how not good enough. Somewhere somehow is something good enough.

@checkme18 truth must be spread...

[rolandofherfordshire]

@TOMP66666 Hello TOMP I wouldnt describe that as being fooled, The nature of Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching has in it the planting and nurturing of seeds. Have they not been planted? and nurtured?

The Master

[phamdoan]

A real monk never do politics. Politic is for the men on street, for the politicians, not for a bhikkhu. Thich Nhat Hanh is never be enlightened till now, because he knows not what is the right Buddha Dhamma, he don't know how to get full enlightenment because he believe the right mindfulness is the whole Dhamma (while "right mindfullness" is just only a first step on meditation) May be this monk is a famous one in this mundane world, don't believe all what an unenlightened monk talk to you!

[himalayanspirit]

I agree with you. Any monk who gets fame and becomes a celebrity before enlightenment, virtually strays away from the true path.

Reading the works of Thich Nhat Hanh and listening to his interviews and discourses, I have concluded that all this guy wants to do is to please the westerners. Thats his sole motive. He changes the dharma to suit their needs.

[neve1073]

@himalayanspirit please explain in what ways he has changed the Dhamma?

[MrChemanfu]

that's not true. The tibetans calls things like that, "skillfull means"

[ajvillavi]

@himalayanspirit Isn't teaching others about the path, part of the path?

Right mindfulness is an important teaching of Buddhism. Thank to Thich Nhat Hanh, many peoples know how to find the useful power of minfulness!

But:

I wonder that Thich Nhat Hanh teach what (?) after the right mindfulness!

All we know that Buddha practice more than the right mindfulness!

As I know:

Right minfulness can bring us a temporary inner peace not the permanent peace as in the state of enlighentment.

[bifi34]

@phamdoan Right Mindfulness bring you to Nirvana. It is mindfulness that makes the Buddha's teaching special. Mindfulness is focus on "moving" objects. In moving objects you can see that it have a begin and an end. Only with concentration meditation ( focus on a "not moving" object) you never reach Nirvana.

[ajvillavi]

@bifi34 All matter is made up of moving particles (atoms). Non moving objects do not exists according to physics. Earth travels 66,660 MPH in its orbital trajectory, isn't verything on earth moving with it?

[bifi34]

@ajvillavi , yes that i understand (not REALLY experience yet) that everything is moving. But with concentration meditation you will never reach the insight/experience that everything is coming and go. It is only by mindfulness/Vipassana you can gain this insight . Thats why the Buddha is so speciale, because before him they only practise concentration meditation.

Print peace & serenity & happiness on the ground as you walk! Build for yourself a place in the Kingdom of Heaven here on this earth.

[ricardoatbtube]

Thanks for posting this video. It's very "rare" here in Youtube.

[thiminhthao]

me too. He is always simple. He has a gentil face

[ExplodingSnap]

Wow, this is an old video! We need more people like Thay in this world.

[PistonPackingPete]

Actually, they're smiling because they're happy, and they're glad to be listening to him. It's that simple.

(Some may be listening with their eyes closed, which could make them look a bit strange.)

[reallycoolman2003]

This man will help me to change my life. Of that I am sure :)

[kirk7524875248]

We're probably watching a fully enlightened human being. He does nothing without complete mindfulness it seems.

[LORDKRISHAN02]

Thanks for posting he is my favorite person in the wholeworld

[catalystdrums123]

perhaps he would have you be your own favorite person instead

[elisabright]

Thank you for posting this vedio! It's awsome!
