@axdexter23 had you been mindful at the time of conceiving them, you'd have used a condom instead of bringing children into this world without having the ability to feed them properly. Hope this helped as much as your original comment. Actually, your original comment helped me smile!
suparlee you seem to be having had some bad experience.. in isolation this might look fake but this is not meant to be done in isolation.. done with mindfulness it works..
This man is merely showing us how to enjoy some relaxing techniques for physical and mindful focus and it should not be a source of dispute or argument for anyone.
@MrMatthew - only a fool claim that is enghlightened if really doesn't - englightened one can say it's enghlightened if he/she sees it can benefit others - there is no more ego to develop out of this statement
@supralee exactly. the harmony and energy comes from within you while you do these movements. you can achiece the same thing by eating cerial if thats whats in your heart. if this does nothing for you its because you pay attention only to the physical movements and nothing deeper. you get out of it what you put into it my man
@fuckinrelax this is illusion.he is fake:)those exercises are not harmful but they dosent cretae nothing but hope:)and hope is not energy neither peace hope is illusion:)
Cheify speaking an Asian guy in a robe, is seen as a spiritual guru, but any form matter's not apparently a Buddha can be in the form of a dog. Do not judge a book by it's cover. Anyone who claims to be a master, or Spiritual Guide, is not, the Master does not proclaim his EGO, he will have humility, and serentiy. A true Master has adbanboned his own "self-grasping" for happiness.
@MrMatthew554 So basically what you're telling us is that you have no idea who Thich Nhat Hanh is and what he's all about? Don't tell people "do not judge a book by it's cover" when you obviously are doing just that. Read one of his books then critique him.
@MrMatthew554 From what I've seen Thich Nhat Hanh has the qualities you mention here: humility, serenity etc. Give him a chance, he's a really good teacher. What I like about him most is the idea of not being attached to one's beliefs even the Buddhist ones.
@MrMatthew554 - i dont know whether thich naht hanh is enlightened or not.. you seem to be sure that he is not?? do you agree that buddha was enlightened?? if you do then you would also know that he had the option of remaining quite and not teaching.. like so many other enlightened beings.. but he chose to teach.. by the way buddha cannot be in the form of a dog..
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.
@tim666661 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?
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.
About 380 young monks and nuns who are followers of Buddhist leader Thich Nhat Hanh, have called on the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, to grant them temporary asylum, after they were forced to flee Bat Nha monastery and repeatedly attacked by vigilantes allegedly hired by the Vietnamese authorities. They say the government regards their leader as a threat to its authority due to his fast-growing popularity among the youth.

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.
The inclusion of a physical element on a spiritual path is an indication of completeness. It is one of the things lacking in many judeo-christian paths.
That's Thich Nhat Hanh isn't it? His face isn't very clear but his voice sounds just like him.
