Can you take the father out of the son?
75-minute dharma talk given in English, with simultaneous translation into German, with Thich Nhat Hanh. This is the third Dharma talk offered by Thay on in the German Retreat, theme of Body and Mind Are One, at the European Institute of Applied Buddhism in Waldbröl, Germany.
For the children, Thay teaches how we be more peaceful and less violent and angry. Remember to breathe and keep your freshness and beauty.
Yesterday we learned the noble path our of suffering. We have learned that we are not this body, but the actions we take every day. Nothing is born and nothing dies. The first law of thermodynamics. The teaching on Interbeing. Can you take the father out of the son? We are not only this body. Can we see our continuation right now? We continue with the noble eightfold path.
True Diligence. In Buddhist psychology, we see conciousness has at least two levels. How do we use the energy of mindfulness? What are the practices of True Diligence?
How do we practice Right Speech? Restoring communication.

A monk chanting in a monastery near Nyuangshwe, Myanmar (Burma). I didn’t see the kittens at first - they only popped up when they heard the sound of my camera.
"To find a buddha, you have to see your nature. Whoever sees his nature is a buddha. If you don’t see your nature, invoking buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings and keeping precepts are all useless."
