Deep gratitude to the dear sister for this beautiful dharma talk. Listening deeply and will go back to a sitting and walking meditation directly after before I return to caregiving for my elderly parents… then whatever care I give will be more grounded in the present moment!

Tinggal disini? Oh ok 😂

I get hung up on the fact that the candle's flame only goes out once, regardless of its continuous "births" and "deaths". Is my ego just vicariously hung up on that one instance of fire as if it were me? Where do my emotions go after my flame goes out? What about the growth I've experienced or the lessons I've learned? Am I being too focused on "myself"? Why have I spent a life trying to improve, to learn from mistakes, to become fairer, wiser, and "better"? Are the relationships we've nurtured with people in the courses of our lives just put to rest when we die?

Much gratitude to Br Phap Linh for delving into a difficult topic! I'd like to share this quote by Marshall Rosenberg (founder of Nonviolent Communication): "Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need." There are unmet needs in the letters that the monastics received from lay practitioners, and I hear unmet needs from Brother Phap Linh, who is perhaps representing the monastics here. Understanding the needs of both lay practitioners and the monastics could help in bringing more harmony to the MahaSangha. The main needs I hear from Br Phap Linh are needs for understanding (of Thay's teachings on engaged Buddhism and also an understanding of engaged Buddhism as practiced by PV monastics currently), trust ("do you think so little of us?" could perhaps be translated as "please trust in our integrity"), harmony (vital in the MahaSangha), recognition and perhaps more appreciation of what the monastics are doing, and freedom from judgment. I'm a long-time practitioner and I actually signed one of those letters, though I wished that it had been written in a way that was less judgmental and more expressive of the greater aspiration to relieve suffering. Within that letter, I saw basic human needs for: acknowledgment (of injustice and enormous suffering), guidance (both spiritual and practical), support and clarity (what could be right actions?), communication (not limited to a statement per se; "we want more communication about this issue..."), and understanding of the deep sense of compassion that many of us feel for people who are suffering in ways that are difficult to even fathom. I would have written that letter very differently, however, I wrote a note that hopefully conveyed my understanding and gratitude to the monastics. Do I think online statements make a difference? Perhaps it depends. Sometimes statements can seem perfunctory, or judgmental and righteous. They likely turn people off. In contrast, I resonated with the statement, "Responding to War with Love" by Nonviolent Global Liberation (nglcommunity.org/responding-to-war-with-love/ ) because there was so much deep compassion in it, which then watered seeds of compassion in me. Thay's poems and writings have watered seeds of compassion in me in similar ways; and sure, written Dharma is low on the hierarchy, so to speak. It can convey understanding and love too. To me, it's the personal stories, such as those in the book, "Peace Begins Here: Israelis and Palestinians Listening to Each Other," that open my heart. That heart-opening feeling is perhaps what Brother Phap Linh or Thay might say is "The Holy Spirit," that sense of feeling deeply connected. I aspire to listen deeply in ways that can heal. I have disabilities and I care for a child and parents with disabilities. Sure, there are times I feel overwhelmed, and there are also times in which I feel like I am overflowing with compassion. The extreme challenges I've experienced have been a sort of crash course (over several decades!) in how to take care of my feelings and practice compassion for myself. So I would say this: feeling overwhelmed at times is not necessarily a deal-breaker for feeling peace within ourselves / generating peace in the world. Feelings of overwhelm are impermanent. And we are the whole cosmos (kshanti paramita). Lastly, I am listening deeply and I hear you Brother Phap Linh (we met long ago, actually). I trust in your integrity and the integrity of the monastics. I appreciate your insights on engaged Buddhism. Thank you for continuing Thay.

Great talk. The ads make it tough to watch. All poorly targeted.

Love the story of the view of the love between man and women

Condescending power of sorts

Mmm kindness hiding something must be able to obliterate evil

Plum love the beginners mind has blossomed

Thank you, Brother Phap Linh. I never doubted "Plum Village", since we interare. I appreciate you, and all of you, practicing alongside each one of us. Deep respect.

Im 31 and ive always been alone. No friends not a single gf. So naturally i want to fall in love but i know i have to accept my fate of just being alone with God for life

This talk is a gift to me and I will cherish it for the rest of my life. I've watched it six times in two days. Thanks for your clarity and your compassion and your courage. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
