Thich Nhat Hanh · December 24, 2008 · New Hamlet, Plum Village, France
Feedback

This talk details the metaphor of a bamboo fishing boat representing the journey from suffering to happiness, focusing on crossing from anger and suffering to happiness and love using wisdom and understanding. Plum Village teachings emphasize mindful breathing, connecting deeply with one’s feelings, ancestors, and roots to find one’s true home. Mindfulness, concentration, and insight cultivate stability, freedom, and connection. Reflecting on holidays like Christmas and New Year, the talk underscores the significance of nurturing supportive communities (Sanghas) for stability and fulfillment, recognizing excessive individualism’s dangers, and striving to rebuild inclusive spiritual and familial bonds.
