Questions and Answers
This 87-minute recording given at Lower Hamlet, Plum Village by Thich Nhat Hanh is a session of questions and answers, part of the Summer Opening series.
Children ask questions such as why their brother is always nasty to them, why Thay does hand symbols (mudra) during chanting, why Buddhists shave their heads, and what to do if they begin to hate someone they love.
Adults inquire about whether it is correct to tell a lie if the truth would hurt the person they love, how to be stable and live with a person who doesn’t believe in spirituality, why monastic sisters have more precepts than monastic brothers, how to help a child recognize their father if they’ve never had the opportunity to know him (e.g., artificial insemination), the biggest notion Thich Nhat Hanh has overcome in his life, how to practice the teaching with suicide, whether one still thinks or suffers after arriving on the other shore, and how to build and organize a practice center.
