It touched me so much to see Thich Nhat Hanh give Brother David a flower. Such a truly beautiful moment to see how Brother David's face lit up. I feel so grateful to have seen this video and these two incredibly vibrant and compassionate spirits together.

"They see that we are doing peace, we are not demanding peace."

I watched this some time ago, and seeing it again, it's as if I've never seen it before. So tender. So beautiful. Every part of it. And to hear the conversation between Thich Nhat Hanh and Brother David about Thomas Merton and Daniel Berrigan, and in the end about Martin Luther King, leaves me in awe. This, I can only imagine, is 'interbeing.' 💞

Brother David is so Saintly & pure , No Spiritual pride what so ever....only love , very humble , may he rest in peace in eternity .....will miss you ! A beautiful Christic Mystic. 💝All is within the heart. Pure gift. Graditude to both these men.

This video is A GEM!!! I am thankful for a rare glimpse into the daily walk of life of a monk/meditation Guru/peace activist/the MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUL Shared. Thank you for the upload! Smiling for the 1st time in days

What a treat to see them together, two beautiful souls! Thank you!

Some meetings are just legendary.

Deep gratitude Thay..

Great. Inter faith discussion is what we should encourage in the world today. Thank you for sharing

Such wonderful medicine. Thank you

Everyday I come across these gems like bread crumbs in the forest, I wish you could know how nourishing and healing they truly are. Thankyou for making this! It was the first time I got to see how beautiful the grounds are at Plum village. It makes a difference to be able to get a more immersive experience through videos like this. Thankyou for posting!

Beautiful exchange and lessons learned. Thank you Br. David.

Brother David and brother Nhat Hanh are so beautiful souls. Thank you for this inspiring short film!

Way to eternal peace ❤

Beautiful and inspiring! Two wise souls, so much to learn. Thank you for sharing!🙏

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Venerable Thay and Venerable Br. David Steindl, both of you GREAT SOULS are a marvelous gift for every single person who listen to your grateful words, full of gratitude for our starving humanity in needs of love, understanding, tolerance, etc. For me this is a wonderful class. I love you. Evangelina Cortes.

Very good to see. Oh, The Eternal Child! Oh, the glow of joy and growing younger!

Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful video, so artistically filmed of Thay Nhat Hanh and Venerable David! After my father passed last summer, I discovered one of Thay’s books on my shelf. I was captivated by his piercing words on mindfulness. I began reading more of his books and watching/listening to his Dharma lectures on a daily basis. His wisdom and his warmth helped me to overcome my father’s passing. At the same time, he transformed my understanding of Buddhism. He seriously changed my life... to live more simply, freely and with a true purpose. Watching this video of two kind extraordinary souls/friends sharing their views and spiritual understanding was a blessing. It was very personal; I felt as though I was sitting right next to them, and soaking everything in. Blessings to the folks on this wonderful film production!

So important for the restless situation of the world! Thank you Brother David!

Wow they are at same age and same aim. Thank God I saw you both today in KZfaq. With that, I feel grateful and happy 😊

Wonderful message on inter-being from two great visionary leaders.

I'm just one man of the laity, but I hope that Br. David Steindl-Rast will be canonized.

Now this moment a lamp ,a light in the dark night, my frame falters and tries to take one step again with you in peace. Much love and offering my deepest appreciation for your words of comfort.

Thank you for this gift.

Beautiful!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽

TWO LIVING SAINTS!!!! Two loving kind Souls, THANK YOU DEAR LORD, FOR ALLOWING ME TO LIVE DURING THE TIMES OF THIS TWO GUREAT AMAZING LOVING SOULS... BLESSINGS FOR ALL....

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was almost brought to tears watching this clip upon reflecting on the enormous gifts and insights these two souls have given us through their practice. We are so blessed!

Thank you for this deeply, beutifully inspiring video.

Thank you for this beautiful gift.

I’m thoroughly touched by these two beautiful souls ❤❤ I have promised myself to practice these three principles that Thich Nhat Hanh described

What an amazing film. So well done.

This is beautiful, it makes my day.

Fantastic film.

Thank you for such a powerful sharing! God bless you both and all... Love K..

It touched me so deeply, I feel peace, hope, happiness, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful conversation- with two amazing people as well as the younger, newer members of Plum Village.

We need this now more than ever, much gratitude for access to listening to and hearing the sharing of stories revealing true ways of how life is and can be, beginning at any movement in any place, connecting with this~

Beautiful the expressive faces of the elderly both holy men.

Learned about Thay 7 years about and watcher Br. David's talk on TED. Love both of them very much and it makes so happy that they two knew each other for a long time. I believe, we just need to pay attention to our own practice, the people as beautiful as we are, are waiting for us on the path.

🙏🏼😊Every life is meaningful to live altogether .

Thanks so much for this precious gift

Perhaps best therapy for trauma besides group sharing with other trauma victims. This therapy never blames victims, since based on mindfullness.

It is a great conversation!!

Such a gift to see Thay in this exchange as we pray for his recovery. What is the background music following this film.. it is soo inspiring for meditation

Thanks :-)

Awesome

❤❤❤❤❤

I am trying hard to make peace and calm with a very close friend of 10 over years. Its not easy for me being the only one who is spiritually in peace while the other is not. Should I remain peace with him despite the demean things he had done towards me?

Two mahatmas.

Background music spoils the conversacion

Catholics are connecting and understanding buddhist practises. another awesome video on KZfaq is Catholic zen nun sister elaine maccenes

Grazie... _/|\_

"No birth, no death." Does this mean buddhism doesn't believe there is a "first cause" for the universe? How do we account for big-bang and beginning for universe?

Even suffering is an opportunity to learn compassion...I find that always difficult when in real life children, baby's are suffering by the hands of grown ups, sometimes their own parents even. What should they learn? Compassion, when they are beaten, or neglected, tortured to death. Gassed in concentration camps. Old people dragged from their bed to die there in man made hell. That is why I cannot deal with any of these deeper thoughts, trying to make sense of it all and in my view, failing miserably at it. In essence there is suffering and non suffering. We who do not really suffer, tell others who do suffer severely, that they should learn lessons, compassion. Our suffering is minor to some cruel suffering in the world. Children starving slowly from lack of water and food. What should they learn? Little girls suffering in the hands of Daesh. (IS) and other terrorists. What should they learn? Man raping and beating them. I am done with this path, where other men tell us not to suffer, though I find some rest in the meditation music and soft and kind words by soft and kind people. Like my own mama tells me, it will all be all right, go to sleep.
