Herunterladen "Thich Nhat Hanh: Zen Master and Simple Monk | TWOII podcast | Episode #8"

In this episode, on the eve of Thich Nhat Hanh’s 95th birthday (or continuation day), presenters Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino take a walk down memory lane, remembering behind-the-scenes stories about Thay (Vietnamese for “teacher”): the humble monk, rather than his well-known public persona as spiritual teacher. They do so in Sitting Still Hut in Upper Hamlet, Thay’s residence during his years in Plum Village. By taking a tour of the hut, they trace the teacher’s daily routine and linger over the minimal but essential objects in his life. With fine strokes, the conversation portrays Thay the gardener and community builder, his (compassionate) fierceness, his incredible memory, and his ability to turn complex teachings into simple, accessible ones. Through many memories, Jo and Phap Huu muse about minimalism, sharing, consumerism, simplicity, the beginner’s mind, being grounded, nourishing humility and humbleness, the power of smiles, and some of Thay’s major teachings and legacies. Befittingly, Brother Phap Huu ends the episode with a guided meditation. Happy continuation day, dear Thay! ------ 🎧 Listen to previous episodes on YouTube ➛ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHB1Zqu9mBt9HNGw87amjLZM2OTHV01uh 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------- The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://www.globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ 🙏 ------- 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the FREE Plum Village App ➛ https://web.plumvillage.app/talks/the-way-out-is-in-1 and other streaming services. ------- Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org/ Thich Nhat Hanh ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/br-phap-huu 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛ https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser A Precious Gift for Thich Nhat Hanh’s 95th Continuation Day: Deep Listening for Mother Earth ➛ https://plumvillage.org/articles/giftforthay The Toadskin Hut and Paths of Legend ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh/letters/the-toadskin-hut-and-paths-of-legend Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames ➛ https://www.parallax.org/product/anger/ Sister Chan Khong ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/sister-chan-khong Dalai Lama ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalai_Lama Joan Miró ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Mir%C3%B3 Beginner’s mind (shoshin) ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshin Plum Village Practice Centers ➛ https://plumvillage.org/community/monastic-practice-centres Plum Village Hamlets ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/plum-village/hamlet Deer Park Monastery ➛ https://deerparkmonastery.org/ Help us caption and translate this video: https://web.plumvillage.app/subs?yt=bI9ZUrUXULg
