This is the first Dharma talk in the series on basic Buddhism (also known as the heart of the Buddha) by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. This series was delivered by the master during the years 1993-1994 to provide practitioners with fundamental knowledge of the teachings and practical methods for daily life.
