Today is the 12th of July in the year 2009, and we are in the Upper Hamlet of Plum Village during our summer retreat. And today we have a session of questions and answers. And the children are welcome to ask the first three questions. And then the teenagers will be invited to ask their questions. They are encouraged to come up and ask their questions.

We love to have children and the teenagers with us. And then the time left is for grown-up people to ask their questions. And we know that a good question can benefit many people. So try to ask the best question, the question of your heart, the question that has to do with your happiness, with your suffering, with your practice. The question of the heart. And everyone has a question of the heart to ask.
