Thich Nhat Hanh - The Daily Path Podcast from MyPath TV

[billymac29]

this dude is awesome!!!!!!!! so much wisdom and compassion!

[zieben64]

what a hippy

[neocoders]

Yeah he provides a nice returning point to the dharma doesn't he. There he is, easy to find, always there, so consistent, great example.

[1macboo]

wow, he is such a beutiful soul.

[OhSleeperAwake]

yes beautiful and serene. been into the fear and unsettled ness of 2012 and i see that this too is just another way to be not in the present moment.

[mdevitt88030]

Peace is deciding at the very moment you are tempted not to be peaceful to be peaceful. Bringing compassionate awareness to difficult emotions is to soften and bring peace to yourself. To blend them. It takes training and a willingness to surrender and embrace your present moment. Is your largest committment to be peaceful?

[pcmkrone]

@goldengreek25

I'd like to share a perspective that may empower you to see his ideas differently. Please reconsider your words this way: 1) finding peace is not necessarily easy; 2) he is fully aware of all the factors that take one out of the place of peace; 4) Let your mind soak up and concentrate on EVERY WORD he says. 5) Close your eyes and say the 4 affirmations he uses and 6) Practice often daily. It'll happen for you. Peacefully !! Enjoy !!!

[janiaf]

building thought constructs to convince yourself you are right will bring you to the point you think you're right. Very rewarding. Why don't you just act and experience what "people who are attracted tot this sort of things" experience?

[kattzu]

budha bless all ...a di da phat

[Hunt3r2k]

He makes a new Buddhism Institute here in my Village, i saw them making Walk Meditation and i join them it was a very good feeling just to feel that iam HERE and WALK !

[luyendao]

Sometimes it takes people years and years to realize that..."here" "walk" "breathe"..."be"

[artdietrich]

for some like me i takes thousands of years :-) ... PEACE

[pazcecipaz]

we are so very blessed to hear this amazing soul talk to us with such loving compassion.....Namaste

[nigga9er]

@pazcecipaz what does Namaste mean ?

[DTTTON]

@nigga9er Namanste: I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One. That which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you.

[mindful1983]

thich nhat hanh is inspiring, and he is also quite old, he still talks with the same gusto like before, as if he is a young man.

In terms of calling myself buddhist, i feel i might not as of now live up to it, and may just be giving it a bad name. I dont deserve to be called a buddhist, but I seek enlightenment.

[golferman2004]

A true deliverer of gods message!

[Snowmeltas]

... of the Buddha's message ... gods are not significant in Buddhism.

[taschenrechner]

Of OUR message.

[sooupdragon]

Really exciting to see Thich Nhat Hanh giving this interview, after reading his books.

[experimentalartz]

great video!

[Vincentpatrick23]

of this crap

[Vincentpatrick23]

he is teaching us how to live millions of years longer and to love every momment.

[wormholetraveler]

For nicolatwo: What happens when you don't follow the Ten Commandments?

[wormholetraveler]

For nicolatwo: Do you believe that Jesus is the Messiah and was raised from the dead on the third day? (Direct answer only)

[nicolatwo]

Thich Nhat Hanh is very far ahead in his way of thinking. He is our teacher. Let's listen to him. He is not asking us to look up to him. He is offering his peace message to the world and to you.

[klindred]

he even looks like a child.  I am not going to put my trust in any other human being from now until the day i die. And if you don't like that, join the club.

[nicolatwo]

For klindred: What are you afraid of?

[klindred]

that is precisely my point. If someone speaks the truth properly, everyone can hear it and it doesn't need repeating or pre-meditation. If i hear this man speaking nonsense i will deign to tell it like it is, and nothing less. This man is not "wise", he is simple.

[klindred]

What he says makes sense only if you can calm your breathing. The breath has to suspend. People that do not understand this do not really know what he is talking about. That is why i think a) he is not wise and b) those that emulate him as some kind of God have it all wrong.

[gazmondcantona7]

A) you cannot emulate anyone as God, learn what emulate means.

B) No one treats him or worships him as a God either

C) He is very wise. Basing all of your opinion on a single clip or a single subject is not wise. You should read some of his books before you judge him.

[uniteinlight]

This dear man is a wonderful calm voice in a sea of madness.

[ihaveverysmalltits]

@uniteinlight This sea of madness is a wonderful calm place.

[coongnoo]

Nhat Hanh & Chan Khong warning

212. From endearment grief is born,

from endearment fear,

one who is endearment-free

has no grief -- how fear?

212. Do ái sinh sầu ưu,

Do ái sinh sợ hãi,

Ai thoát khỏi tham ái,

Không sầu, đâu sợ hãi?

[nicolatwo]

For coongnoo: Endearment means love, right? If you are afraid to love someone, animal included, then you will never live fully. Don't be afraid of grief, fear, or pain. Embrace all of them.

[IsabelOK]

lo mas sencillo de la vida, respirar almismo tiempo lo mas maraviloso, estar atento de respiramos, mmm respirar con atencion, con conciencia de que lo hacemos.... que bello, que hermoso que sencillo, gracias, Thay por quien tu eres... !!

[stoveall83]

Thich Nhat Hanh he is the best! He has a retreat on here called Thich Nhat Hanh  retreat. Go check it out its wonderful!

[jeremypr]

What I love about Buddhism is the fact that it states everyone has the ABILITY to become enlightened. Everyone has the buddha nature (maitri). It's right in front of our face, yet we are blinded by ego to realize it's presence. We as humans are in a perpetual state of ignorance and duality. One needs to maintain a level mindfulness in order to be in the HERE AND NOW. Grasping, insecurity, fear are all illusions. Be here now.

[supawanich00]

Well said,thank you for pointing it out.We are all buddha to be.

[rockmt1911]

Why does a zen master has a ying yang sign during the intro? That's Taoism ;)

[sunjammer007]

Taoism is a sister philosophy to zen. Both developed in China. When Buddhism came over from India to China it changed and adapted ancient Chinese philosophy. Also, Christianity and the other major religions have a lot in common with Zen as well.

[nicolatwo]

For sunjammer: I see nothing positive in Christianity. Zen is lightyears ahead of the western religions.

[Toltecmaster]

"Love your fellow human beings as yourself."  "Return love for hate." "Help those in need." Yeah, nothing positive about it!

[nicolatwo]

For Toltecmaster: Don Miguel Ruiz and Don Jose Ruiz would never talk sarcastically.

[Toltecmaster]

You are wrong about Christianity and you didn't address that. Zen without Christian basics is like head without heart.

[nicolatwo]

For Toltecmaster: There are great persons among the Christians: Mother Teresa, Pater Pio and most of all Saint Francis of Assisi. I have Christian friends who are caring people. What I criticize is the Christian dogma. I criticize them for saying things like "be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth", or "animals are there for us to use", or "do not oppose or question authority". Those are wrong morals! Zen has nothing to do with Christianity. Zen teaches caring for all living beings.

[Taoistwanderer]

But Carlos would. The ones you mention were copycats of the original.

[nicolatwo]

For Taoistwanderer: Who is Carlos?

[wormholetraveler]

I am going to go out on a limb and say Carlos is Carlos Castaneda. But you never knew that. And how do you know Ruiz isn't sarcastic at times. One can appear perfect through the books they write until you know the real person.

[nicolatwo]

For wormholetraveler: Hi, Why did you close your other channel? I liked the comment you left me on my channel. Thank you for the good comment. Rarely do people admit to making mistakes. I do. And I did in some cases. Ha. That is great. Because that means we are open for a true conversation and hear what the other person has to say. I know very little about Carlos Castagneda. But I read the book by Don Miguel Ruiz, which struck me as a very honest philosophy. So I assume he is a serious man.

[nicolatwo]

For wormholetraveler part 2: In regards to Jesus, I believe what the recent scientific research found out: That the picture from the shroud is not Jesus the original preacher, it's from a body of a french sales person. They also found that Jesus was not crucified, but he was assassinated by the land rulers. Jesus is a Messiah for those who want to believe it. I see him as a regular person, but one with leadership ability, and with high intelligence, caring, compassion, and motivation.

[nicolatwo]

For wormholetraveler part 3: I don't even exactly know what the ten commandments are, because I was raised a non believer. It says "do not kill", "love your neighbor" as I recall my husband telling me. I do not need the Christian dogma to live a loving and conscientious life. I already know what is right and wrong, my caring and conscience tells me naturally. And I care even more than the dogma tells people. I include animals into it. :0)

[wormholetraveler]

For nicolatwo: Thank you for an honest discussion. I have found that Buddhists tend to be highly ethical people. It would seem that if Christians follow the teachings of Jesus they will reap a harvest of peace and happiness. The same with Buddhists and the teachings of Buddha. The core of the great religions are one. When Jesus came he changed the old law which had to do with the "eye for an eye" attitude. However, true Christianity must be differentiated from today's "Churchianity".

[nicolatwo]

For wormholetraveler: Yes, Buddhists are much more aware. I am not a Buddhist either. I am not an atheist either. Ha. I have my own god, which I created myself, because I'm an artist. His rules are love and peace. That's all. I believe that Jesus had a peace message, that's why he found so many followers. Yes, if people listened to the original teachings of all great teachers, they would see that dogma of today is not the teaching of the old philosophy. Churchianity is a good word for dogma. :0)

[ronremo]

That is why he is called Thay

[viet1963]

Thay is a Vietnamese word for teacher. A highest respect in Vietnamese society.

[dharmafriend]

This vidio is what maks You T, worth while.

Dharma Friend T

[golferman2004]

mypathTV is that a real channel? I can hope so...1 day!

[TransFormoLogiK]

A Di Da Phat

Namaste

[fadsandfancies]

He shows us that goodness and compassion are always possible for all of us.

[bbsullivan]

What a good world we would have if we followed Thay's teachings!

[ah332]
