I am so grateful to have found Sr. D’s teachings. Her kind voice and vulnerability throughout her talks touches something deep inside me. I have never felt worthy nor have I been able to love myself. I am filled with despair and have been cutting off from the people closest to me. Despite listening to many Dharma talks from Thay, Sr. D, and others I have not found my true home. I have not been able to arrive. My practice seems to be interrupted by my fear to look deeply into my suffering or maybe I am so addicted to it that I am unwilling to try and transform it on a subconscious level. The negative thoughts block my refuge. I seem to intellectually understand the practice but spiritually not so much. I wish I had a Sangha and a teacher who could help guide me. With all that said these wonderful teachings give me hope that someday maybe I can find peace. Many thanks to Thay and all the monastics who help so many. I am truly touched by the beauty in all of you 🙏🏻.
What a lovely, calming teaching! I have a feeling that you’re referring to dear Thay as your mentor, advisor! Well, dear Thay, you have trained your student so well. Thanks so much to both of you for these inspirations!
Sister Dang Nghiem, thank you for this talk. It really touched me. I think maybe you also have the Power of Making People Cry because that's what I was doing when I watched this. 🙏
Thank you, Sister D. Your grace, your understanding, and your ability to articulate the meaning of the 3 powers moved me deeply. I am comforted by the clarity you have provided for my practice. Yours in peace, Carol
I hope this message can reach Sister Dang Nghiem. Thank you, your kind sharing has allowed me to cultivate the proper conditions for me to begin my healing journey, to overcome anxiety, depression and recognize i’m the perpetrator, in turn, heal my family too. Bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear sister D., This lunch I didn't want to eat anything but vomit out everything because my opinion got rejected. I kept asking myself why people do not care about me as much as I care about them. I kept saying to myself that I am not worthy. And just breathing while listening to you, I realized that for almost 30 years, I have victimized myself so much. I have abused myself litterally for that whole long time. Oh my god!!! I almost burst into tear! I can not describe how happy and peaceful I was. Oh my god! My body has been carring my pain and sorrow for one-third of a century. Now I can release it from suffering. I can truly smile. Love you so much. I wish heath, peace, and happiness to all brothers and sisters in Plum Village, and to our dearest Thay.
Thank you very much Sr, Dang. I love the extraordinary way to share your wisdom. I've read your great book three times and I enjoy it like the first time. Lots of hugs. Evangelina Cortes.
You have helped me immensely, especially when I want to give up, when I have no confidence that I can transform, but you have shown the way, Sister, and I seek your gentle teachings to align myself once again, and breathe in the here and now. thank you !

Truly, Sr. Dang Nghiem, Thay was right. You are making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you for your profound insights and your clear and calm manner of imparting them.
Thank you for that wonderful talk, and thank you plum village for placing your videos on you tube where I can access your teachings, they have been very helpful to me and I am very grateful
I appreciate how she compared her insight to the process of removing a pebble and being able to glimpse the light on the other side of the large stone wall. I felt as though I could hear some delight in her voice as she told the story.
Dear Sister D! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your experience and insights! I so needed to hear that. I will keep practicing with this new insight now.
Thank you dear Sister, you are a beautiful embodiment of dear Thay's continuation. In my 70s I have finally found a way to peace for the rest of my life. With deepest gratitude and love🌹🙏
Great Dharma Talk Sr, D. Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot. Comprehension of The 3 Powers is so important to me in order to practice more consciously. Evangelina Cortes.
My honor and respect to all of you great community. Every single moment of my staying at the Monastery receiving your teachings, all of you Sisters have taught to me a lot. Your practice is wonderful. Lotus for you. Evangelina Cortes.
Sister D, thank you so much for sharing your story and insights and these teachings! ❤️ It touched on many things i have been contemplating and struggling with lately, and you shared so many gems of wisdom - thank you! 🙏
Dear Sister Dang, you have helped me so much...my deepest gratitude to you and to Dear Thay, you are always alive in my heart. Bless you and the Sangha. 🙏🏻🌺🌸🕊💜
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Sr. Dang for this beautiful talk. I love when you explain about the interbean, but this time you didn't say; you can order it in line, I love that, but It's ok, just for let you know how much I enjoy the way you share your teachings. For sure I'll listen several times this talk in order to understand a little bit more every time I listen your marvelous class. Lots of hugs. Evangelina Cortes.
Thank you so much. I will practice everyday to let go my addiction of self pity and suffering. Bless your kindness and for sharing the most important lesson of life
Venerable Đang Nghiềm, I appreciate very much your sincere motivation and special sensibility. I read your book about your experiences in Vietnam and USA many years ago. And I love your explanations too about the practice of the Phât-Giăo. My best wishes to you from Barcelona. Sincerely, Upâsaka Minh-Quang
As I listen and try to understand, I noticed that after you spoke about the suffering you seemed to become emotional..if so, that moment was very special.
Merci beaucoup pour votre enseignement. Il y a quelques petites erreurs de transcriptions vers le français par rapport à votre discours. C'est pas très grave mais cela peut induire en erreur les néophytes .
