Thich Nhat Hanh · March 15, 2002 · Deer Park Monastery, United States · Audio Only Not yet reviewed

Thay shares about writing a story printed in the newsletter, a brother seeing the first deer in the deer park, a public talk in San Diego, traveling to Northern California on September 11th, delivering a speech in Berkeley on confronting violence and embracing anger, visiting Ground Zero, and the publication of his book, Anger.

How can one help teenagers in a residential facility who have disruptive and violent pasts, have no impulse control, and strike out verbally and physically?
How can one work with Vietnam veterans who suffer deeply and are still very depressed for things they had to do in the war or for having to participate in atrocities to help transform their suffering?
What do you say to people in regions in conflict, like the Middle East, where people have ideological conflict that has gone on for generations and harbor hatred for each other that makes them kill each other?
What should a Vietnamese mother married to an American husband do when caught between the traditional Vietnamese way of preventing bad things from happening to teenagers and the American way of letting kids make mistakes to learn from them?
What is the message of US Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s speech, Prayer for America, which challenges the Patriot Act and addresses the state of fear and the war?
