Thich Nhat Hanh · July 29, 2002 · Plum Village, France · Audio Only Not yet reviewed

Transcript English

The session begins with a reflection on how to give a stone the chance to free itself from the layers of suffering, ignorance, and prejudice that cover it.

Does everyone have access to the wisdom that is within us?
Are there as many paths to touch universal wisdom, or the wisdom we have within us, as there are individuals?
When an entire people is in suffering, fear, and terror, is the key always the same and must we always look for it within ourselves?
What does the new approach to peace for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples at war consist of, based on deep listening to oneself and to the other, as well as on the intervention of the United Nations?
How can we understand the role of the army through the analogy of a knife, which can be used to cut vegetables or to kill?
Why does the media report daily on scenes of violence in society while very rarely reporting on practices of peace?
How has the historical pain and suffering of war, still palpable on the land of Plum Village forty years later, been transformed by twenty years of practice?
