Death is a Transformation

Thich Nhat Hanh · July 24, 2014 · Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, France

In this short excerpt from a teaching given at Upper Hamlet on July 24, 2014, Thay speaks to us about the vision of Interbeing and interdependent co-arising, the Buddha’s teaching on the genesis of the world, and shows us that birth and death as we understand them are merely notions.

Teaching offered by Thay during the 2014 Summer Retreat at Plum Village - Upper Hamlet.
