Precepts and Generosity
This Dharma Talk focuses on the Winter Retreat at Tu Nghiem Temple, New Hamlet, Plum Village, where everyone studies the 10th gatha in the Sutra on the Auspicious Signs. Thich Nhat Hanh shares about living in the present moment, guiding others to pay attention to their breath and steps to deeply experience life. He emphasizes keeping the precepts, avoiding sexual misconduct, and practicing Brahmacharya to purify the body and mind. He also encourages eating vegetarian at least 15 days each month to protect the environment. He shares that generosity, including material giving, Dharma giving, and the path of the Noble Eightfold Path, helps to overcome suffering. He stresses that fearlessness, the state of being unafraid, is the most precious gift, and special support for those who are venerable brings benefits to society.
