How to Love Oneself: A Dharma Talk by Sister Dang Nghiem
This talk is available on the free Plum Village App plumvillage.app/ A truly enlightening Dharma talk by Sister Dang Nghiem, about teens, screens, deep joy and learning how to love oneself. It all starts with your true presence.
"I say, it is OK, I am here, I am going to take good care of you. It is OK, relax. I am safe now. I love you. I love you."
The talk is a compelling invitation to come home to yourself, and to start to love yourself truly: your body, your feelings, your mental formations, your perceptions, your consciousness. Knowing how to love yourself brings the deepest joy.
Sister Dang Nghiem dedicated this talk to all tweens and teens, but the talk is valuable for people of all ages.
🎙 The actual Dharma Talk starts at minute 3'30".

📌Recorded on December 31, 2021, at Deer Park Monastery, USA, during the Holidays Retreat 'Joy in Oneself, Joy in the World'.

I am almost 50. Yet this dharma talk resonates within every part of me. I now know what seeds I would want to cultivate in me more. (Sometimes i forget !) I am grateful, 🙏 thank you
Sister D is my favorite Nun. I have all her books and have read them several times. I always find something new. I exchanged emails with her a year or so back. She gifted me something that has been so helpful to me. She is whom I go to in my thoughts when I feel overwhelmed. A few minutes of mindful breathing when I ask her to breathe with me brings me back to peace. Thank you Sister D. I love you.

When you so lovingly invited the teenagers to come to the front, the teenage part of me began sobbing for they never encountered such care. The focus of you practice on supporting young people is truly noble. 〰♥

I keep coming back to this dharma talk whenever I need to recalibrate, reflect, internalize and heal. It's a powerful reminder on how we should stop seeking answers, love and validation from external factors, but to look inwards instead. Thank you for this wonderful gem, Sister Dang Nghiem.
Gratitude and Blessings for this talk. With a suicide every 40 seconds around our world now and almost half being teenagers these conversations are vital. Would love seeing these in every school in the world and starting in grade school to instill habits of self worth and an understanding of harm of much social media. May all beings love, respect and honor ourselves and thus each other. Living a heartfull life.❤
Sister Dang Nghiem’s talks always have me touching a deep deep part of myself that I never knew needed to be touched by love. And I end up in tears with a feeling of warmth.
Sister D!❤❤❤❤ favorite monastic and teacher 🙏true continuation of Thay ❤
You are changing the world, Sister D!
I love the the Zen Buddhism and everything Buddha learn out even if I’m a Catholic. You are beautiful and I know that Thomas Merton liked Zen and mindfulness. Bless you 🙏🏻🕯️♥️🕉️☸️☮️

This... this came at exactly the right time. I have started my self love journey but for the last two days I have had the 'knot under my sternum'. I have tried to sit with it, not to run from it but I get consumed. This talk was so deeply insightful, her energy is so calming. I cannot thank you enough for offering this wisdom so freely... truly the most honourable work.

Powerful video to Empower self-love for each person, Thank you Sister Dang Nghiem and Plum Village
Sister D! You are so kind and compassionate. I even feel this immense love is unbearable so I cry while listening to you. But your sense of humor made me laugh again 😊 Clearly I’m not quite used to this type of true love and happiness and I have buried myself in the “fast food” type of love and happiness for so long… I will need to spend the rest of my life unlearning and relearning how to love myself and others. I told my mom about the immense healing power that Buddhism has and that all kids should learn this from childhood. She thinks that it’s bad for the kids. Oh my, no wonder I suffer… I’m glad that plum village is teaching kids these priceless lessons! 🤍

You are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for your teaching dear one.
Thank you sister. This talk is so practical, so down to earth and so relating to our daily life. Digitals and gadgets are two edges sword, I can use it to listen /watch meaningful talks from Thay and sisters/brothers, or I can get drown in it with negative & violent stuffs. This wonderful talk should be introduced to all schools and parents. Much appreciated Sister!!❤❤❤❤❤

Hello how are you doing?
I don't know who this is for but if there's someone here who has been struggling with hopelessness from constant narcissistic abuse from people practicing self love around you and naturally you're an empathic loving/giving person... you're not a people pleaser or traumatized to behave as a loving/giving person. You do not have to do all the meditation/yoga/affirmations to get to a place of peace and "enlightenment' that constantly seems like menta/emotional work when life circumstances constantly breaks you down and sucks out your life and exhausting you of your autonomy. If you're downcast running on low energy, hanging on my a thread in the spiritual treadmill and this trend of everyone seeming to be on and working for them and not for you because there seems to be no break. I'm here to let you know whoever this is specifically for that God is real, Yeshua (Jesus) is real and alive and if you reach out to Him to come into your life to heal everything with full surrender, He will reveal His character to you, His presence and heal/restore/change you in ways you never imagined and the people around you from the inside out because of your still small voice and faith to reach out to Him. Turn away from practices demons have distorted to become "like God" there is truly a Father figure no human beings can be perfect in, One who will mend things you thought you forgot about but deeply in your subconscious and lift darkness off of your life in a time-line that is not your own personal effort to struggle to get there/get positive/get "self love" and turn into a narcissist bc the world treated you with such take/take/take mentality. You don't go at this life alone. This meditation and all this is temporary. Whoever is reading this, God of Israel of the Bible is for you. Cry outloud to Him and invite Yeshua into your life for complete healing not of your own personal efforts. You're not meant to do this life alone. Hang on and keep holding on and cry out to Yeshua (Jesus) for help. He is with you and He is for you. Don't give up. Keep praying. Amen

Dear friend, are you referring to Dharma talks? If yes, you should be able to join Dharma talks at local sanghas and retreats. You can search for London sanghas here: plumvillage.org/community/international-sangha-directory Hope this helps. With gratitude 🙏
She speaks to us in the morning so softly. Mindful breathing; Zhineng Qingong. Start here each month. I awaken at 4 or 5 naturally. So my day is very. I am gone back to elementary school; I am starting over in my World of Learning. My teacher are global teachers. She lives in Viet Nam; He resides in NYC. Podcasts. This is how we will learn in the future. We learn in air: Longwoods Botanical Garden. Signing family gets poor. Superstitions and Science- based learning. Where is your school. Where are you teaching. What do you teach.
Start with my breath at night: I am afraid to close my eyes; because If I am angry: Be Here Now (Bob Ram Das, book) it is the greastest Joy. Finding Joy in Community is my sister's book. She wrote 3 chapters. Would you like to come for a moving meditation on Amtrak. A few years back. I took a 3 week meditation tour from Lawrence, KS to San Francisco. ....to be continued.

To throw away an opportunity to listen to wisdom because some people don't follow your political beliefs is sad. You will miss out on so many blessings from others, when you judge them instead of appreciating the gifts they offer in love.

I'm really grateful to come across Sister Dang Nghiem. I listened to her meditation and I relate to her so much because I struggled with depression all my life. I'd love to hear more of her singing meditations they are so comforting. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, story, and love.
