Contemplation on Being and Non-Being, Chapter Fifteen, Part 3
This talk focuses on the practice of walking meditation and sitting meditation, emphasizing not thinking in order to concentrate the mind and soul on each step, achieving enlightenment and healing the soul. Thich Nhat Hanh explains that entrusting issues to the deep consciousness is like planting seeds in the soil and waiting. He distinguishes between individual and collective consciousness, warning to stay away from places filled with hatred. He shares that the past is gone and ruminating on negative emotions causes suffering. He lectures on samskrita (conditioned phenomena) and Nirvana (unconditioned phenomena), explaining that all phenomena are interdependent. He mentions non-action and non-doing, that there is no actor apart from the action. He emphasizes the teachings of non-self and non-dharma, that everything is empty, without a separate essence. He refers to the influence of the Theravada and Sarvastivada schools, and the transmission of the Dharma through generations.
