Discourse on the Land of Great Happiness

Thich Nhat Hanh · October 1, 1998 · Plum Village, France

Transcript English

“The Practice of the Blooming of a Thousand-Petaled Lotus” is a series of Dharma talks by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh explaining in detail the sutras, chants, and repentance texts in the Plum Village Chanting and Recitation Book (2000 edition). Although the book currently has updated editions with a few new chants added, all the essential sutras and chants remain unchanged. Through this series of Dharma talks, listeners can understand more deeply the content of the daily practice sessions. These talks were given between 1997 and 1999, so the audio and visual quality is limited.
