Dear Thay, Dear Sweet Sangha Siblings- Thank you so much for posting this beautiful Dharma talk and a deep bow of gratitude to you, Br. Phap Dung, for doing this Dharma talk for us on this day of gratitude 🥰🙏🏼.
Thank you Thay Phap Dung. Enjoyed your humor in delivering such an important teaching of touching the earth. Agree about Sr Chan Khong. I followed one of her guided meditation on touching the earth and I started bawling too. She said to send to yourself; easy. To send love to your loved ones; easy. Then she said send love to those you hate. I just couldn't and cried instead. How could I send love to one who has hurt my family so deeply? This will be something I have to work on, possibly for the rest of my life. Appreciate your dharma talks. May everyone be well and safe. 🪷
Thank you Br Phap Dung, really helps to hear how you have practiced with your own family and those seeds you identified that you particularly have to work more on. With a bow 🙏
Thank you, Brother, for your humor, perceptions and guidance. Your dharma talks bring us much joy and appreciation for the teachings. In gratitude, a deep bow.
Thank you dear Brother......from France ! A special teaching , as usual, with your glorious humour ! And what a beautiful place you were sitting in , surrounded by those rocks and trees, and flowers.....and bird song ! I well understand Thay having loved talking from there ! 🙏🌏🌿
I'm still confused about the difference between blood ancestors, land ancestors, and spiritual ancestors. To me ancestors means those that have passed away. Can anyone give me examples?
Blood ancestors are from your parental roots going back in time, so you have common DNA. Spiritual ancestors are leaders in the meaningful spiritual traditions that influence you, may be more than just one. Land ancestors are your national roots, leaders in the country/ies from which you come. Hope that helps
I agree with the other comment except to me, land ancestors are not the leaders but who lived here before me. That would be “old man Hudson who lovingly built the home I live in and before him the settlers who picked up every stone to build the stone fences and felled the trees to make the fields and the cellar holes, the old apple trees they planted, the old rhubarb patch, all of the wild plants that came over with the settlers and then before them the indigenous peoples who lived and foraged throughout the forests of New England 🙏
I looked up land ancestors on Google and I think it's the indigenous peoples. I will review the video again bc Br Phap Dung may have explained it but I missed it. Thanks!

Thank you for a wonderful talk. I love the idea of the Peace Room too and think every workplace/education establishment should have one too.

I say YES to a 'peacepod' constructed from earthbag for all households!
