“Yes I have fear within myself, but I also have not fear within myself.” Thank you teacher for being a guiding light in the world’s darkness.
Me too
❤
You can clearly tell that the man is very detached from any direct experience of actual fear. It is naïve at best to believe you can let go of fear like that. I still love his vibe though. Seems to be a chill dude! ❤
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.
I’m very sorry ur suffering. Do you have someone there to support you? If you can redirect ur attention from fear based thoughts about ur illness to something physically happening in the moment, such as ur breathing, the way water feels on ur skin and/or identifying 3 birds outside.. this will help you better cope with such difficult thoughts and feelings. Talking about what you’re thinking and feeling with someone you trust is also ultra helpful. I know this all is way easier said than done. However, training ur attention to focus on the moment over prospective threats will help your suffering while enduring such a difficult situation. I hope the best for You
@@bg-se7rq thank you so much for your kind words. I was dealing with organ pain. I have doc appointments for tests, but my organs no longer hurt.
No one has fear until fear enters them … so therefore … being free of fear is not something you do once and it’s done … it’s a constant battle to be free of fear. Remember … you are not alone on this battle. Hugs
Pain is only there to call you to listen. It is either a time to cry, and hopelessly fight to evade truth and reality,, OR, -a time to listen.. LISTEN. ‘What is to be heard?’.. your spirit, calls.. and if you can-not dig inwards, to the fiery roots of your heart - through all of the substrate of pain, then of-course, .. you will suffer in the void, in emptiness, with no meaning, no life, no being, nor presence.. ‘Light or Dark?’ - Every moment is your choice.
@@KingCharles3000 Hi, how are you doing? Hope things have improved for You 🙏
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.
These exact words… ❤
Such simple yet so powerfull words, right? I had to pause the video to absorb.

🙃 "chilldude" as you chose 2call him, is Thich NhaT HanH 🕉️ or Thay (= teacher ) i suggest you do a thorough research on this great Bodhisattva and his Life s wORk , b4 throwing out mindless comments 😏
This gentle soul just lifts me like no other

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

@@bille77 it seems like you are saying this in ignorance of Thich Nhat Hanh's life and what he experienced. He was a monk in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and in calling for peace he was persecuted by the South Vietnamese government. He was accused of being a communist and at constant risk of arrest. This is an extremely scary environment to be in, but he never stopped advocating for peace even at risk to himself. Later he aided Vietnamese refugees in Singapore when they were being harshly rejected by the Singaporean government, and anybody who aided them was punished.
These are the words of a man who has worked through his own fear and put himself in dangerous, frightening situations in order to help others. If anyone is qualified to speak about fear, he certainly is.
@@lucascampbell2756 Wow. I obviously wasn't aware of any of that. What a badass.
This video was edited in a lovely way, thank you for the extra efforts put into sharing these teachings. I will try to water the seed of non-fear today.
I'm so thankful to have found Thich Nhat Hanh.
Fear breeds anger and hate. We must be still.
Thank you Thay. You're still with us . 🙏
🙏
I wanted to cry when you said you’re still with us because it’s so true and we are blessed with his teachings.
@@EnglishroserebeccaI actually did cry because I know of course that it's bs that he's still around and I miss him. Miss him SO much. My second son Rudi was born the day he died. ❤
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.
U are right
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.
Great message, beautifully filmed, thank you for this gift brothers and sisters of Plum Village.
Hearing Thay' s story is just like yesterday 's him🎉As long as his voice is available in UA-cam.. he will forever living in my heart ❤
I feel the same way. I still have tears when I see him.
❤Feel the same❤
Wonderful to visit with you again Thich Nhat Hanh! I love your story times! 😊
What a wonder💗Thank you so much for the loving and careful way to bring Thay’s teachings to us all🙏✨
Who?
@kernowarty Thay means teacher in Vietnamese. Thich Nhat Hahns followers called him Thay
@@earthpearl3790 , grato pela informação!
Eu estava justamente me perguntando sobre o significado do termo.
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 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 🙏🏻
🙏🏻
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. 🙏
Thank you for your beautiful message dear friend. 🙏

Grateful for this precious teaching and the beautiful footages and editing 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
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.
I think there is always a part of me that will fear death. The I that thinks it is in the driver seat may think it no longer fears death, but the cells that support this I keep repairing, fighting disease, keep wanting to live. I still can´t voluntarily stop breathing or beating my heart, even if I tell myself I don´t fear death. We can deny this for very long. Consider that you can fear death and still live, even enjoy life. There is no mutual exclusion.
Being fearful is also being vulnerable, which is a big part of living in surrender to and readiness for whatever comes.
Thank you for writing your thoughts. I honestly had forgotten about my original comment that I had written 3 weeks ago.
But, the other day, I was thinking... there is nothing bigger than God.
So what is there to fear? Nothing because nothing is bigger than God.
Even in death, I will go to God.
So if there is nothing to fear, then all that is left is to enjoy this gift of life I was given.
I am in no hurry to go anywhere. There are so many things I want to experience in this life.
I respect the natural process of the ending of one life and the beginning of another. I am at a point in my life where I want to exchange fear with trust.
Thank you again for writing! Have a wonderful day!
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.
Or when fear breaks you and you give up resistance. Maybe we mean the same thing, but it felt like breaking to me. I choicelessly gave up and everything was allright.
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.
Thank you for sharing this. I've just been subjected to a smear campaign and this resonates a lot.
I too was bullied ,it want by my peers but by my environment .I was bought up in institutional care and I was. seen as nothing more than a number and I was never given any notice unless it was for correction which was sporadic and cruel .I too have been ruled by fear ,my whole body and system learned to "look Out" I have been doing the walking mindful mediation daily and have noticed a difference ,difference enough to maintain it ,I hope one day to study and become my full potential and I wish the same for you my internet friend ,let us work at letting go of fear and watering the seeds of mountain strong energy .Yes the fear may always sit with me but I think if we are constant with mindfulness we may find peace and a life beyond the fears .
Yes me too....i can relate...i was bullied for 8 years as a child...0anic attacks now ...and severe deression. 😓😓🙏
So sorry you went through thst....💕🙏😓
@@ts3858 Im so sorry you were bullied ,its. tragic thing to be ostracised by a community ( school) ect , the very primal need we have to survive is connected to being a part of so it is excruitating to feel left out .With mindfulness you can never feel alone again ,you come home to yourself every time you breath in and breath out ,your breath is connected to all that is ,to me to everyone ,we are all interconnected ,I have few friends yet I don't feel lonely ,I know now through Thay's teaching that I am not alone ,it is impossible ! I also learn through his teaching how to care for the inner child in me that was hurt and tries to tell me I am not good enough ,(to warn me I think )so I do loving self compassion .
@@keidwynMay you persist in watering your seed of compassion and patience. Thank you for transforming your fear: that is the work of peace. 🙏🏼🌸
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.🙏
Pas comme avant, ce serait ennuyeux :)
thank you, plum village, for maintaining the video library. it is very helpful to have them to return to when we need to hear the same teaching again.
After finishing an entry in my journal about the having the desperate need to 'exist', I opened my UA-cam 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 〰🔆💟〰
Thank you for the kind sharing, dear friend. A lotus for you 🙏🏻
It is about balance 😢 I love this premise. "Allowing our body to rest is very important"
Absolutely ! After I do that I always feel m u c h better. We should be so tender with our body-temple -> TLC 24/7 !
I love the editing. Nature mixed with Thay felt like a nice balance and helped me stay focused with the imagery
🙏🙏🙏❤
Good to be here with you❤
Bellissimo!!!!❤️

❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🙏 Thay always live in our hearts forever! Our Great Master! Vietnamese are proud of him.
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.
Namaste
💛🙏 Heartfelt thank you, dear Thay.
Thanks so much for sharing this
Thank You Thây!
🙏❤️🙏

This is needed for our human race
Love you and your offering
I want this to be true and doable. I am so afraid of my fear. It is very strong in me.
You are not alone dear friend. Keep your daily practice. You can also join a local or online sanga via plumvillage.org 🙏

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 🙏🙏🙏
Gracias ❤thank you 🙏🦋
thanks for sharing this!
Thay may not be here in body but his wisdom and teachings live on as though he is. Experiencing a
health scare making me feel overwhelmed with insecurity and fear of death. Thank you Thay for this teaching, which has helped calm me and realise there is another way!
Listening to Thay is generating healing, depth😇🙏🤗🍵, it's an ocean of stillness
Agradeço por me lembrar que consegui agir, abraçando meu medo e assim superar o medo de ter medo ❤

Thank you for helping us bringing us home beloved Thay 🙏🏻🤍
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.🙏
so wonderful. thank you.
❤❤❤
This video is so depressing and beautiful at the same time. I liked the tone
🙏
What a beautiful wonderful soul❤

Everything he did and said was peace, in today‘s global situation it is even more essential to focus on Thay, his teachings bring nothing but peace and contentment.
We need you now more than ever Thay. Thank you so much for being so generous and thoughtful and loving in this world.
🙏Thank you so very much ❣️🙏🕊️❤️
"Fear is fear itself" Nam Mo A Di Da Phat!
---> "All we have to fear is the fear itself!" (Osho)
I wish I could here more of this talk, its amazing
The Plum Village App is full of many talks. A monastery for your pocket. 🙏
Enjoy,
plumvillage.app
Fearing is a self-preservation mechanism. Disasters and troubles do come into our life. We then prepare for the worst. Fear is necessary to be proactive. Fear of death is ridiculous. Noone has the prevention.
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you. 🙏
Been having a lot of terrible intrusive thoughts lately, and I always love coming back to Thich Nhat Hanh for guidance. He's a man of so much wisdom.
So grateful for these videos being created!🎉😊
what a soothing voice he has... I felt very relaxed after listening to his speech. truly Empowering
This was like a talk straight for me. Every word just resonated with my life.
Tout est dit en si peu de mots. Merci
Thank you
Fear can only be dealt with in the present moment. Plan as effectively as possible but do not develope the worry habit.
Gracias, gracias, gracias maestro Thay. Cuatnta sabiduría!🙏🙏
The Master is so beautiful. He waters my soul. I love dear Thay. I love the Practice and I love the wonderful Sangha. I love all of humanity and I love all of creation.❤🙏🏾

Thank you for your wisdom and compassion 🙏😊🪷
🙏
I have felt great fear recently and Thay’s teachings have been wonderfully helpful in recognizing the Right View, so that I may nurture my fear, and water the seeds of non-fear in me. I’m thankful today for all Plum Village brothers and sisters.
Beautiful ❤
I am so greatful for finding these wise words of such a gentle soul. ❤
Miss him so much but he is still with us...living Buddha.
Thankyou so much for this Beautiful Teaching ❤️
