This Dharma Talk took place at the Hall of a Thousand Stars in Cam Lo Lower Hamlet during the Winter Retreat of 2012-2013. Thich Nhat Hanh shared about the concept of a spiritual homeland, a place that holds love and peace, similar to the spiritual home that Jesus Christ and Siddhartha Gautama sought. He emphasized that the homeland is not a physical place but exists in the heart of each person. Through the practice of Mindfulness and Concentration, each step and breath can bring us back to our homeland immediately. He also discussed Buddhist teachings, including the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the concept of no birth and no death, illustrated with scientific and life examples. He encouraged everyone to understand ignorance and take action to end the cycle of suffering, achieving Nirvana and true happiness. He concluded that the homeland is a place that exists in each step and breath, a place that holds peace and light.
