“Breathing meditation” with awareness of a sense of wellness and lightness. Sounds of a type gong after each affirmation. Lightness & Joy from this type of meditation to “Father/Mother God.” “I am breathing in–I feel well, do you feel as light when I breath out, Mother?”

Thich nhat Hanh is just a propaganda tool for the communist regime in Vietnam. A leader of anti-war movement in Vietnam war, he turned a blind eye to Hue massacre of 5,000 civilians by Vietcong in 1968 and Vietnam invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978. In 2005 and 2007 he returned to Vietnam to help the communist regime to improve its bad image for human rights violations and religious oppression so that Vietnam could gain permanent normal trade status with the US.

@aloozer im sorry if i sounded condscending

@reeceh78 stfu and take your e-dhamma elsewhere. i’ve got more pressing issues to deal with.
reeceh78 said on June 2, 2010
@aloozer actually life is only as complicated as you make it, and as “complicated” as you can say it is, it can too be said to be simple. There is no complexity without utter simplicity. stay “relevant” in this world is exactly what we do, regardless of whether your a monk or a “worldly” person(whatever that means), you are always living relatively to how you perceive the world. the truth is always applicable, its not about staying relevant, its being aware of that relevance…
aloozer said on June 2, 2010
@reeceh78 it cannot be coined up just about being ‘mindful’. life is way more complicated in this and that. i mean no disrespect to the buddha-dhamma, t’s just that as much as we would like to ‘practise’, we cannot deny the need to stay relevant in this world and i’ve come to a point where it all sounds nice and good but sometimes not applicable, yet. not so practical sometimes. we are worldly people, not monks.

@aloozer notice the nature of your own insight, we are constantly tied up in things that we think are helping us or not, buddhism teaches that every moment is impermanent, so whether it helps or not in that moment is only your interpretation, and is beside the point of life; life “not helping” is only one aspect of you, but life is showing you all aspects of yourself, and if you cannot be mindful of yourself, you will experience yourself over and over again as whatever your “problem” is.

Dear friend,
I don’t understand you
aloozer said on June 2, 2010
@babblecon i don’t know. maybe we need to try harder, maybe we’re looking in the wrong places, maybe we’re doing it wrong. could be any reason.
babblecon said on June 2, 2010
I wonder if we expect too much, our desire is to powerful? I want something from practice. What do we seek? And is that why we are not satisfied?

Yes he has, but maybe only once, and that was in the last few years.

Thich Nhat Hanh be fooled by communist Vietnam!!!
In 2005 and 2007 Thich Nhat Hanh returned to Vietnam to help the communist regime to improve its bad image for religious oppression. In exchange, the communists promised to allow him to practice religion in Vietnam and establish Bat Nha monastery. But in September 2009, Vietnamese authorities launched a violent crackdown on his followers at the monastery, fearing his popularity among the youth could pose a threat to the communist leadership.

HELP BAT NHA MONASTERY!!!
(Vietnam) Dec 17, 2009
About 380 young monks and nuns who are followers of Buddhist leader Thich Nhat Hanh, have called on the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, to grant them temporary asylum, after they were forced to flee Bat Nha monastery and repeatedly attacked by vigilantes allegedly hired by the Vietnamese authorities. They say the government regards their leader as a threat to its authority due to his fast-growing popularity among the youth.

So because he had meetings with the communist leaders he is a propaganda tool for the communist regime? There is a reason why he does not live in Vietnam.
aloozer said on June 2, 2010
well, i’ve had my fair share of interest put in Lord Buddha’s teachings. but i’ve sorta given up. it’d helped me to a certain extent but sometimes i think yes it’d helped me and no it had not helped me. whatever.

Sometimes people think that if things are diffucult to understand or achieve it must be better, but just about everything is better in it’s simplest form.

To jakedparent:
Go to BBC, AP, CNN,..to verify that Thich nhat Hanh did return to Vietnam twice in 2005 and 2007 and even had meetings with communist leaders in Vietnam including President Nguyen Minh Triet and retired General Vo Nguyen Giap.
jakedparent said on June 2, 2010
Thich Nhat Hanh has not been back to Vietnam since he was exiled in the 60s.

Thich nhat hanh is present with each of our breaths.

Simple & poetic, yes. But also a clear and powerful instruction is offered. After experiencing the miracle of your own awareness it will not seem cryptic.
b well
aloozer said on June 2, 2010
thing about Thich Nhat Hanh’s books are too simple, such that it seems to me there’s something cryptic about it. that’s not to doubt his level of attainment of course.
