Kim Liên Retreat (6)
This is a 117-minute session of questions and answers with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in Hanoi during the “Engaged Buddhism in the 21st Century” retreat. The questions and answers are offered in English.
Questions include: How would applied Buddhism look to the healthcare professional? How do we deal with guilt? My father cares about no-one and has no interest in life. He also has lots of anger. How can I help him? A question on mindfulness of joy, and how joy relates to attachment to the joy. Experiencing suffering in not being able to conceive a child. A question about medication and depression, and clarification on Thay’s teaching regarding the physiological aspect of depression. Why does life exist? Why are we here? As a young person, how can I use the practice and be able to share with other young people, possibly using more creative language? How do we forgive someone whom we have never known intimately and have no way of communicating, for the suffering they have caused? After traveling in Laos and meeting many people impacted by war and unexploded ordinance, anger and sadness arose—Is this karma? Is this a time when we can be righteously angry? Young people who grow up in a loving and supportive environment may face negative pressure when they travel for university or work; should we give children challenges so they are better prepared? What is your intention with offering the Five Mindfulness Trainings? A question about the 5th Mindfulness Training, and how this training is watered by a feeling of fear based on a Catholic upbringing.
