Thich Nhat Hanh · August 15, 2012 · EIAB, Germany Not yet reviewed

This 103-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh on August 15, 2012, is the fourth Dharma talk offered during the Dutch Retreat on the theme “Body and Mind Are One” at the European Institute of Applied Buddhism in Waldbröl, Germany. This session is dedicated to questions and answers.

Children ask questions about preventing arguments, dealing with bad dreams, and expressing affection, such as asking if they can give Thich Nhat Hanh a hug. They also inquire about loving someone who is very different from themselves and whether it is difficult to be so wise.

Teens and young people seek guidance on transforming knowledge into wisdom, understanding the words of the Heart Sutra, and dealing with dilemmas on when to confront someone. They also ask about “no action” and when to act, as well as several questions on watering good seeds and feeling love.

Adults pose questions on deep suffering related to the Holocaust, family issues, and experiences at the European Institute of Applied Buddhism.
