Questions and Answers

Thich Nhat Hanh · juillet 27, 2000 · New Hamlet, Plum Village, France · Audio uniquement Pas encore verifiées

The sangha is gathered at the New Hamlet on July 27, 2000, for a Question and Answer session.

We begin with a few questions from the children:

Why did you become a monk?
How can I help people who have forgotten the little child in themselves?
What should I do if I have a nightmare and am afraid to sleep, or have problems getting to sleep?
Should I call you Thich Nhat Hanh, Thay Nhat Hanh, or just Thay?
How can I wake up in the morning in a good way?

Followed by questions from teenagers, young adults, and adults:

What should be done when difficult feelings like anxiety and pain arise during meditation, and how do I hold these feelings like a mother holding a baby?
How can I help a partner who knows the practice but cannot do it because the world brings up their negative habit energy and depression?
What can I do when I get angry and cannot control myself, causing suffering to myself and others?
What does it mean to say we suffer because we don’t love enough, and how does a bodhisattva’s aspiration transform suffering?
Could you elaborate on the concept of presence in form of thought, words, and action?
How can I forgive and accept my father who committed suicide when I was an infant?
How can I manifest non-acceptance when a partner pursues a joy that is destructive or unhealthy?
What can students do to protect themselves when forced to watch films that water seeds of violence and anger?
Should I finish my program of study in Chinese medicine or follow my heart to become a monk?
How can I help someone with depression by identifying the source of nutrition that brought it in?
How do I deal with doubt when facing a choice, especially when inheriting contradictory qualities from parents?
How can communication be improved between parents and children when there is a cultural and generation gap?
What is the vision for building a wholesome lay community or Sangha in the lay world?
