Thich Nhat Hanh, interview Part 1 | Ram Dass Channel 

Agreed! Nemaste ✌

Non American elements to be taken care of. American people believe our strength is in our diversity. To go deeper America benefits from our cultural diversity in many ways because we are all one people. Out of the many are one. Knowing this on a deeper level of our humanity.

🙏

I wish everyone would hear these talks and receive these teachings in their heart and mind 🌹🙏🏼💖✨🦋🪷

​@LoveDurgaDevi if there is only God then there is no play

Seeing your message just now informed me of Thich Nhat Hanh's passing (which I immediately confirmed via Wikipedia and the Plum Village website); thank you.

@@nixuser1980 🙏Was definitely a sad loss for us all. His wisdom will definitely live within us.

You may say I'm a dreamer....

how are they saying anything except exchanging new age 'mindfulness' signifiers in pretend calm-slow voices? what was truly achieved, or was it merely tranquilizing

@@malemodeljr Yes, man. Perfect.

Yes

I see a bit of ego from Ram

Ramdas is a being on the path of love (bhakti) while hahn is on the path of the mind(jnana). They both harmoniously reflect their path in their being and its ultimate unity.

@@arshnoorsingh5531 nice observation.

@@arshnoorsingh5531 I would say (though not to negate anything else you offered) that where Ram Dass and Hahn differ isn’t over intellect, but between Bhakti and Compassion. Ram Dass figured out how to maximize emotion safely, and Hahn sought to minimize the excesses of emotion. They are on parallel paths, and they can see each other clearly and without conflict. It’s a pleasure to watch the conversation unfold.

Agree that Ram Dass has love and respect for Thich. Ram Dass however did not refer to himself as a Guru. That was something thrust upon him from the outside, the media etc. To his credit he saw himself as a pupil. Neem Karoli Baba, a Sadguru, was his primary teacher.

I love RD but at this point in his life he is not quite ...shall I say ...at the level of this Monk...This monk has defeated his ego

It’s as though they’re having this conversation on the other side.. But they’d be laughing and saying.. humanity, there’s nothing to worry about! Just Let Go.

🙏

Yes me as well... i have had extremely serious mental health problems... and mindfulness has chsnged my life and continues to heal my suffering

Both are enlightened

What hints exactly?

@@mannymm25 you may have to rewatch it again and again untill what I've said just become crystal clear to you. I'm not going to tell you how it is because it is your path to see it how it is.

Hello, hope you are well!

love

Yup. Engaged Buddhism.

YES!

Yes!! It’s almost surreal.

@@audriiiiroberts3030 it makes me so happy to see people from all over come and watch this and share how they feel. I remember watching Ram Dass’s movie recently and when he mentioned Alan Watts, my jaw dropped. Because Ram Dass, watts and hanh are incredibly wise minded individuals.

Aljaž Mesner Thích Nhất Hạnh is still alive

@@daniell7420 What... total Mandela effect

Thay is still alive 🌸❣️✨

@@anuraganil7293 He is still Here, even though the body left in the 21st of January -22

I am sorry you had such a hard lesson to learn. God bless you and Namaste

@@mannymm25 Thank you !

RIP dear Ram Dass as well♥

Thich Nhat Hanh is still alive as of today, Nov. 10th, 2020. I love his take on Anger too, an example of how to be the best you can be.

I just saw a video of master Thich Nhat Hanh celebrating chinese new year in Vietnam. He is alive, but frail.

1995. Gorbachev Foundation State of the World Forum in San Francisco, September 30, 1995. If you google you can find a transcript, I can't share the link here sorry

@@newgabe09 Thank you very much. Very kind of you.

My guess is 1995-6

Oct 1st, 1995 during Gorbachev World Forum in San Francisco

one person at a time...starting with Her ... Your 'family' is the whole world and as placating as that may sound it is still the truth. My family is constantly changing. my history is not me. What happen to all of us and what we did is really all we could do, we did it and we did the best with what we were, had and could.. the point i think, i've been wrong before, is what i do now.

Charlie Hutch Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it very much. My family made mistakes just as much as I have made mistakes and we have hurt one another's feelings. It is a very tricky learning process. But the more we learn about ourselves the more we will understand others.

the dysfunction within a family usually goes totally unnoticed by that family in order to preserve the dysfunction. each member is designated a role. the roles change depending on who is present. some times one person plays two roles at a time in a given situation. if the dynamic calls for four people and there are only three present. to heal from the toxic behaviors you have internalized from your family you Must do it outside of the dynamic. 'Those participating in the toxic dynamic are not a source of discovery! first you must name the dynamic and it's function. always part of the function of a toxic dynamic within a family is the 'dynamics survival' !! when it is threatened you become the 'target' for the other participants. at the core of the dynamic is a lie. to state the lie outright within the dynamic is not tolerated by the entire membership of the family. Talking brings resolution when it is honest and for reconciliation., In a toxic family dynamic it is not allowed and individuals cannot speak their own truth and have their own voice and there own experience. "you can not say that" is common dialog within this dynamic. you you you...everyone working to keep the individual bound to the lie. I statements are true but you statements are a distorted perspective through an interpretation even when it's with good intention. we cannot know anything other than what 'we' have experienced and have no license to dictate to others ...that's totalitarianism at it's best. So called schizophrenics diagnosed in childhood when removed from the family system completely stopped demonstrating the behavioral traits of schizophrenia and became healthy people. this has been demonstrated case after case and is the proof that it is the toxic belief and interaction between members of the family that are the cause not a chemical imbalance or heredity. remove yourself from the situation, seek a good toxic dynamic family therapist and walk down a path to a happy life. we can't change Anyone but OURSELVES. staying in a toxic environment is like NOT leaving a burning ship. and courage is the ability to love when afraid. n you have to start with your self to be able to love.

Charlie Hutch That is the best comment I have ever seen. Thank you. What you said is the absolute truth. It is best to leave that old environment. The one statement I have to keep. Can I quote you to other people? I will put your name under it. "Courage is the ability to love when afraid." (Charlie Hutch) I copied this and will post under other people's comments. I would always do things for others when I am afraid. But I have to begin now to do things for myself also. I just don't know how to do the leap forward in my life now. My husband does unempowerment techniques with me unknowingly. It is not good.
