In this episode, the presenters - Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and lay practitioner and journalist Jo Confino - delve deeply into Buddhist philosophy by discussing the teaching known as the Three Doors of Liberation (emptiness, signlessness, aimlessness), which is vital to understanding life and living it well.
Together, they go through each of the three doors, discovering and explaining the corresponding concepts, sharing their own experiences of these deep teachings and how to apply them in daily life.
Brother Phap Huu shares on the topics of ways to train ourselves to practice emptiness (even in success), signlessness, and aimlessness; Zen stories; touching liberation in daily life; and meditating on our aims in life.
In addition, Jo looks at the journey of stripping away individual selves, and recollects “the experience of the terror of nothingness”. He further muses on a day of mindfulness in the World Bank, and on not chasing life.
The episode ends with a short meditation on the Three Doors of Liberation, guided by Brother Phap Huu.

Thank you so much Brother Phap Huu, Jo Confino and everyone who helps bring these conversations to the world! Thank you Plum Village and teacher. I feel your warmth, honesty and friendship, as if I am sitting with you. I don't usually post comments- but I felt compelled to post on this last 2021 podcast as a way to reach out across the universe to share my gratitude. This podcast gives me hope and comfort. I stumbled onto your channel by chance after listening to a video where Thích Nhất Hạnh answered questions of children. I was touched by the sincere attention paid to their questions. I so appreciated his thoughfulness and gentlness that I subscribed to the channel. I knew nothing of his years of teaching, it really felt like a lovely accident. I am trying to make it through my own very strong suffering. Sometimes I feel so covered in sadness I can barely breath. It was never like this before- I feel like I don't even know who I am. So I remember what I heard from Plum Village and say, "Hello my saddness- I see you are here to visit me...can my compassion give you a hug?" It makes me smile a bit and reminds me that feelings come and go, they do not define me. I hope I can get better at breathing and mindfulness and be a good caretaker. I am glad to know that there are human beings out there such as yourselves offering relief and joy to others. Please take my deep thanks as small gift for your sharings.🌼

What a delight to listen to yet another wonderful episode! I have so much gratitude for being able to enjoy so much wisdom and liberation in your words, Brother Phap Phu and Joe. Being in Brazil, so far from Plum Village, it is a blessing to receive these teachings from Thay, and to learn and grow with them. Again, thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Hey Mr. Jo and Br. Phap Huu--listening to this podcast at the end of 2022 and sincerely wishing your community health and happiness in 2023; may it be a more peaceful year than 2022 was. I think I had an 'a-ha' moment when listening to your description of 'aimlessness' and it finally hit me why I have such a hard time with simply sitting and meditating: as a person born and raised in America, I am used to a culture of go-go-go and being 'productive' ALL.THE. TIME. The thought of 'just' sitting and 'doing nothing' just makes my skin crawl. Yet, I can 'sit' at my sewing machine for hours because I am 'doing' something with my hands. Never occurred to me that sitting and meditating IS doing something: improving my mind and transforming my afflictions. I now have a new appreciation for stillness and something to work on for the upcoming year. Many blessings to you and your community; hope to visit Plum Village France one of these days...

And further to this thought as I re-listen to this podcast, I wonder how much conditions such as ADD or ADHD are biological and innate and how much they are formulated based on the society in which we live, or is there a combination of the two??

I always look forward to these teachings.I find it particularly helpful when an example is given about handling individual situations.eg the stolen wallet.I myself sometimes (not always) fall victim to life when I have honestly felt and given compassion and kindness and this has been abused in some way.I wish to build up alertness to the possibility of this and how to address these situstions.I don't always see them coming! Happy New Year.Blessings.Catherine❤

I really like this podcast series! I enjoy browsing through them and listening the one that meets my needs or my curiosity at that moment. This podcast has a unique freshness because it is profoundly spiritual, but also a 100% percent human and intimate. I don’t comment much online because I enjoy my privacy, but I let go of that privacy now to just to say there are a lot of us enjoying and loving this podcast. Recently, hearing one of your podcasts I had a moment of intense happiness and clarity which I will treasure for probably the rest of my life. I am certain there are lots of “silent listeners” who don’t comment but really listen to this dialogue as a blessing, a teaching, and a company in their lives. All your efforts are harvesting beautiful fruits and flowers of all sorts….please do continue!!! A lotus flower for each of you Jo and Phap Hu, and everyone in the monastic and lay community who have permitted this to podcast to manifest. Also my ever lasting gratitude and appreciation for our dearest Thay. As we say in my ancestors spiritual tradition: a huge blessing to you all!

Deciding to not pretend and keep doing what is expected especially around the holidays or various family traditions is a brave way of being and can have its repercussions. You can experience some flashback but it is also freeing.
