Educator: Happy teachers can change the world
Thich Nhat Hanh answers questions during a retreat in the UK (April, 2012). Questions include: What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? What is mind? What is consciousness? I love to dance, but I only dare to dance in a night club when I take drugs. How can I be confident enough so that I do not need drugs to dance? What is it like in Plum Village?
April 1, 2012. A 67-minute dharma talk given at The American School in London by Thich Nhat Hanh. The sangha is on the UK and Ireland Tour and this is part three of the Educators’ Retreat: An Exploration of Mindful Education. In this talk we learn about being present through mindfully eating a tangerine - it is a spiritual experience. Happy teachers will change the world. Invest in every breath, every step to have more peace and more concentration. The three kinds of power can help you: the power to understand, the power of love, and the power to let go. The classroom can be a second chance for a suffering child to learn about love. The last segment of the talk is on walking meditation.
“Planting Seeds: The Power of Mindfulness” is based on the book “Planting Seeds” practicing mindfulness with children by Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village Community. The feature documentary animated film will be shot in Plum Village, France during the entire month of July 2012. The film will star Jay, an incredible teenager from Hong Kong who is a mindfulness practitioner. Jay will show us how to compassionately transform situations (bullying, parents fighting) and himself using “The Power of Mindfulness.” The film will also feature parents, teachers and children from several countries, plus Thich Nhat Hanh, Sr. Jewel, Phap Dung and other monks and nuns who will share their experience and practice of using Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a powerful tool to help children, parents, teachers and communities develop the skills to promote peace in themselves and in the world around them.
