Namo Buddhaya 💗

The way it is written at the end I thought it said: "mom-year". Got kind of confused, new chapter? Luckily that just means I don´t have to be affraid of losing my mind anymore. It has already happened. This is just some aftermath, I get things wrong sometimes, when I start to believe I am 'normal' (whatever that means).. I have been almost continously terrified most of last year after a stroke. There was a mantra (just something I made up in the hour of need, nothing official) that helped. I would just repeat: "I am safe and everything will be allright".. 30-50 times.. Just making it part of my breathing. I am safe (in) everything will be allright (out).. Then, when I could just about believe it, I switched to "I am safe and everything IS allright".. (Me not being entirely real as a limited being, my mind didn´t "see" boundaries in objects at that point, so that helped.. so what I am, is limitless and that IS safe and IS allright, always being not allright is just a harmonious part of it all).. And then after repeating that for 10 or 20 times I switched back to being full on affraid as a limited person and to: "I am safe, it already happened" I was always immensely affraid that whatever I feared would happen between those sentences and when it didn´t, I´d end with just "thank you" (usually crying at that point and repeating it until I fell asleep). This got me through about 90-100 consecutive nights (and days, but mostly the nights) when I was certain I was dying, because all my neurons were firing and I felt everything I could possibly feel all at the same time for hours on end, there is really no way to describe it, but it was way worse than the worst thing I could ever think off before, so much worse it was surreal, I could never remember what happened until it got much lighter and I could write it down and read it afterwards.. Now these episodes are all but gone. I get headaches and a bit confused sometimes.. At this point, there is not much fear left. But I still get stressed sometimes out of habit, and immeadeately it´s like: look at me, being stressed, how wonderful, who would have thought that after one and a half year, you would stress about something like being late? And I feel the absolute luxury of entertaining fears, sadness, boredom, just experience itself.. Fear means your mind has the energy to resist and imagine a different situation than that you are in. Fear just means you are healthy, you are breathing and you have spare worry-energy.. After realising that fears kind of dissolves. At some point I found the "art of suffering" videos.. Highly recommended. Thank you all for singing for me, those many many nights.

For fear keep chanting qualities of triple gems one by one ex- " Lord Budhdha discovered the truth without assistance of anyone " 🙏🙏🙏

If you feel that you are capable of handling fear, fear also gets capable of handling you. so not to recognize or identify and especially not to make it into a capability, just be is only possible and let fear do what it is meant to do and suffer less and minimize the damage could be possible. How Black and White or Color video has no effect on the quality of the master. He is the inner being that radiates out.

soooo just do mindful breathing?

Just listening to your voice, dearest Thay, gives me hope and makes me feel so empowered. “Yes , I have fear, but I also have non fear in me”. These words!! . Thank you Miguel Sánchez and Plum Village for sharing your art and Thay’s wisdom with all of us.

I felt profound chills over my body while listening to this. My body is probably wiser than my analytical mind.

Beautiful words of wisdom shared so knowingly, gently and compassionate. We are so blessed to have access to Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings. Blessings to all.

Dear brothers sisters in Plum Village thank you for guiding us w masters precious gem talks🙏👌🙌🏻, I would love to come visit your center is one of my wishes I so love watching all your videos and listening your pod casts 👌🙏🙌🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌿💌

This gentle soul just lifts me like no other

I was bullied as a teen. That rejection by my peers left me ruminating, feeling fearful of it happening again. I had so much anger and hate. As a 19-year-old, I shut myself inside my bedroom. I went to work, then went home and did nothing on the weekends. I missed so many summers, and who knows how many opportunities. I'm 39 now, and with therapy and reading books, I've just started to doubt fear is real.

Great message, beautifully filmed, thank you for this gift brothers and sisters of Plum Village.

What a wonder💗Thank you so much for the loving and careful way to bring Thay’s teachings to us all🙏✨

I’m afraid. Because I’m sick. I thought I was fearless and that I overcame the fear of death for the rest of my life, but now that it might be a reality and is way closer now, I find myself close to begging. And crying.

This is such a beautiful clip, simple and short; encompassing many of Thay’s key teachings. It is such a gift to listen to Thay, he speaks with such confidence and gentleness. Bodhicitta is so clearly manifest in his consciousness. Thank you for the beautiful edits as well 🙏🏻

Hearing Thay' s story is just like yesterday 's him🎉As long as his voice is available in RU-vid.. he will forever living in my heart ❤

Wonderful to visit with you again Thich Nhat Hanh! I love your story times! 😊

I'm so thankful to have found Thich Nhat Hanh.

Grateful for this precious teaching and the beautiful footages and editing 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Fear breeds anger and hate. We must be still. Thank you Thay. You're still with us . 🙏

The fear of fear itself-- very profound! He promoted "deep listening" as a non-violent solution to conflict; if only people would practice this mindful approach since all suffering seems to be caused by confused thinking.

Fear can only be dealt with in the present moment. Plan as effectively as possible but do not develope the worry habit.

Thank you for bringing Thay’s beautiful teachings to us all. 🙏🏻💐❤️

I suffer from fear of death what will happen after death will we start over again in another body another life or we will not exist anymore just like before birth nonexistence?

The archives... pull them pull of your box. But wait! One small and mindful breath at a time so we may truetly absorb the richness of each seconds message. Keep these coming. You are.making a big impact. It keeps the memory of Thay alive and our spirits in sync with all of you at Plum Village. 🙏

Merci chers amis de nous envoyer ces moments de bonheur: écouter encore ce Maitre si puissant! Il me semble que je n’aurais plus peur comme avant.🙏

We have enjoyed reading your book too every morning. The way to overcome fear is to not fear fear but to embrace it. And also to realize fear is to know courage and Happiness too; they are one in the same.

After finishing an entry in my journal about the having the desperate need to 'exist', I opened my RU-vid player to find a mediation and this was at the top of my feed! Thay affirms the fear of becoming nothingness! These shorts you are producing are beautiful, the imagery, music and audio clips of Thay are deeply moving and bring the teachings to life. Much gratitude and apprection for your work 〰🔆💟〰

I love the editing. Nature mixed with Thay felt like a nice balance and helped me stay focused with the imagery

I can't stop "what is" from happening. But I can make it through or grow through "what is" happening. I do not fear death. When it is time, it is time. So until then, I want to enjoy life. No room for fear, here. Many blessings.

🙏🙏🙏❤

Thank you dear beloved Thay and monastic sangha. You are a beautiful continuation and along with Thay help so many ❤.

I want nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

Thank you so much for showing us a video of Thay again. So helpful. 🙏

🙏🏻🕊🤍

Wow! I was "thinking" of the fear of being recognised... but maybe it is the fear of not being recognised Thank you Master!🙏

Loved it ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🙏 Thay always live in our hearts forever! Our Great Master! Vietnamese are proud of him.

I am scared of ghosts and I worry about safety of my near and dear ones.What meditation or exercises or practices should I do to become bold and courageous.please give me some helpful tips that I can daily do

Thank You Thây! 🙏❤️🙏 🇧🇷

Agradeço por me lembrar que consegui agir, abraçando meu medo e assim superar o medo de ter medo ❤

Thanks so much for sharing this

Yes. Thank you. Dear Thich Nhat Hanh you gently encourage us to think for ourselves. You wisely guide us to manage our fear. We try.🙏

Love you and your offering

Gracias ❤thank you 🙏🦋

so wonderful. thank you.

🌎✌💜

This teaching showed up like an angel when I really needed it as I work through facing some old traumas head on. Thank you, dear Thay for your wisdom and guidance and for showing up when I need you the most 🙏🙏🙏

Good to be here with you❤

Fear of letting the anger take complete control, even momentarily.

My fear deals with not being, and other systems of manifestation/strength. There is doubt however in myself and the world maybe I can see pathways toward healing. Much is required, but the first step is acceptance.

🙏

Thank you dear Plum Village for continuing to find fresh ways for us to inherit this beautiful wisdom. I really enjoyed a bit of music with Thay’s message about watering the seed of non-fear.. It helped me relax and take it in.

It is about balance 😢 I love this premise. "Allowing our body to rest is very important"

Gracias, gracias, gracias maestro Thay. Cuatnta sabiduría!🙏🙏

What's that written on screen at 5:02 is it non fear. The font's tricky to figure out first looks like 'mom gear' to be honest. 😅

This video is so depressing and beautiful at the same time. I liked the tone

Listening to Thay is generating healing, depth😇🙏🤗🍵, it's an ocean of stillness

Namo Buddhay Namo Amituofo Non fear

What a beautiful wonderful soul❤

Namaste

Thank you for these wonderful teachings. Thay's voice is such a comfort and his philosophy is a refuge.

Message du grand maître Thich Nhat Hanh : dans ce temps, il faut se faire tout petit et ne pas regarder en face longtemps. Il n'y a pas de joueurs sympas. On ne joue pas du piano comme cela avec les gens.

🙏🏼

thanks for sharing this!

The problem is. We don't HAVE fear. We ARE fear. Buddha Jesus Thich Nhat Hanh maybe had overcome it .But we normal people have to - accept it. Not more is possible.

I fear for my children and my grandchildren. This fear makes me feel so weak. I want to be strong; to have faith and accept what is. My own death is not something I am completely unafraid of, I would gladly give my life for theirs.

I dont know what it was some mystical energy or something. But i just was crying. And having the fear of fear returning back. And just found all the words i was trying to say or was feeling. It is just everything. Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful video. I regularly remember this words in my daily life. It helps me a lot. The guitar music running in the background is also very beautiful. What is the name of this musicpiece?

It´s not true in the end - although you may get to know your fear in one or another way, it can come back, maybe you become closer to it, but it can make you anxious again. Hopefully not as large as in the beginning. The more you know your feelings, the more you can feel them through and till they disappear without stepping aside and trying to turn away, the more you know them, the more you can observe them and feel them, coming and going. You can´t make them disappear, but accept and let go again without suffering too much. Anyway: why not suffer a little bit from time to time? It´s natutral and makes you stronger, even lighter after some time. Take fear like fortune, it has to tell you much about life itself -- Greetings from Southwest Germany, between Rhine and Black Forest

Anyone knows what music is playing in the background? Thanks 🙏

Bellissimo!!!!❤️

Basis of Budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . The necessity of Budhism is impermanence sufferings and concept of no soul . Budhism guides us to stay in human world and in hells until final stage is attained 🙏🙏🙏

We need you now more than ever Thay. Thank you so much for being so generous and thoughtful and loving in this world.

How do you deal with fear of cancer? My wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time...although a 3 mm lump but the fear in me is huge.

Sorry but this just sounds so 101 level. Its all the obvious. I thought his teachings were suppose to be so profound.

🙏🏼🫶🙏🏼

Beautiful ❤️
