Dharma Talk June 96

Thich Nhat Hanh · June 27, 1996 · Plum Village, France

The details of this talk are about the journey at the birthday of Thai Trong, emphasizing that our parents gave birth to us not only to be healthy but also to sow happiness for those around us. The teacher imparts gratitude for life and those around us. Breathing in harmony with breathing, the mother is the one who nurtures, the father is the one who supports. The annual gathering of Thượng Định. You must learn to firmly grasp the culture of the Zen path to play the role of a cultural bridge. The mother lives in a strange environment, choosing to be a layperson. When entering the path, from afar there are two daughters, both growing. When the layperson has to leave, the house becomes empty. Do not be sad, remember the beautiful memories and joys experienced. Uniqueness and possession are only temporary. Contact with the temple helps recognize one’s nature and oneself. After the interview, take time to meditate to apologize and take care of yourself.
