Feedback

On August 22, 2012, Thich Nhat Hanh gave a 75-minute dharma talk in English with consecutive translation into German during the German Retreat at the European Institute of Applied Buddhism in Waldbröl, Germany. The theme of the retreat was “Body and Mind Are One.” For the children, Thay teaches how to be more peaceful and less violent and angry, emphasizing the importance of breathing and maintaining freshness and beauty.

The talk covers the noble path out of suffering, explaining that we are not merely our bodies but the actions we take every day. Thay discusses the concept that nothing is born and nothing dies, referencing the first law of thermodynamics and the teaching on Interbeing. He poses the question of whether one can take the father out of the son, illustrating that we are more than just our physical forms and can see our continuation in the present moment.

Thay continues with teachings on the noble eightfold path, focusing on True Diligence and the practices associated with it. He delves into Buddhist psychology, explaining that consciousness has at least two levels and exploring how to use the energy of mindfulness. The talk also addresses the practice of Right Speech and the importance of restoring communication.
