Dear community!

TTSĐCTTĐB stands for “The Living Tradition of Buddhist Meditation Practice,” a series of Dharma talks given by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh during the years 1994-1997. Through this series, we will be guided by the Zen Master on a historical journey of Buddhist meditation practice from India to Vietnam and China. We will discover that Buddhism was transmitted from India to Vietnam about 300 years before it reached China and continued to spread to China, contrary to the common belief that it came to Vietnam from China. We will also learn about the outstanding and profound Zen masters of our nation who are rarely mentioned. This is a long and interesting journey.

Please forgive the first 2 minutes of the clip being missing the video part. Excerpt from the Dharma talk on November 24, 1994, by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
