Ram Dass interviews Thicht Nhat Hanh

that calmed you down a bit RD!!
nice to see ha ha

What a nice gift this sort of thing is.

Much like reading Jefferson's letters to Adams.
Here you have two men who while being fully human and full of weakness and frailties that afflict us all, shine a light into the darkness of illusion.

Thanks for posting this

Argh, wish I could have heard Thay's answer to that last question. Wonderful interview; very insightful questions and very insightful answers, as one might expect.

Mindfulness is essential to realize all other things, like anger. Since all things come from the mind, then only mindfulness can control and transform destructive energies to constructive ones. If destruction is required, then this too must be done with mindfulness.

I like this man, and feel blessed that he is sharing his wisdom. Peace, Love and Happiness to all, Always.

Great stuff, and much needed. I am stuck in an abusive relationship, and my wife's arrogant, disrespectful behavior often makes me angry. I must be mindful and hold my anger like a child. It's not necessary to say something shitty back to her after she has said something shitty to me. When she says something shitty, it reflects on her, not me. And when I reply with something equally shitty, it reflects on me, not her. If I don't reply, maybe she'll get bored and find something else to do.
