Thich Nhat Hanh · September 28, 2001 · United States · Audio Only Not yet reviewed Tech notes

Please call me by my true name so that I can hear my cries and laugh at once, so that the door of my heart and compassion will be left open.

Do you have any suggestions for the many people who are angry?
Is anger appropriate in some circumstances, such as when a person has been terribly wronged?
Is not reacting with passion a realistic way to carry out foreign policy, or is it only applicable at an interpersonal level?
What would you do and say if you had a chance to sit down with Osama bin Laden?
Are there certain situations where a country needs to respond by force to stop evil political leaders from hurting others?
What happened when a group of Palestinians and Israelis came to Plum Village?
Is it easy to find people from both sides who are looking for peace?
