    “I can’t fall that far anymore. It felt like the mindfulness training has been like a safety net. I’m held in their embrace.” I so appreciate your articulation & enthusiasm regarding your experience in the training & everyday practice. Thank you for this talk. 🙏🏼✨💛🌊🌈🌌

    I am so thankful for stumbling upon this KZread video. I’m not a practicing Buddhist so I was unsure why Spirit was guiding me to watching this video this morning. I’ve been on a spiritual path of learning from various indigenous spiritualities from all over planet Earth. I see Humanity coming together from all cultures to work together for the restoration of our Earth. This video has deeply rooted inside me and will be rewatched and I hope I can spread your message and wisdom. Already I’ve sent it to my mom and children. Wow. This is our way forward and so helpful for t healing ourselves and dealing with the pain sadness and depression. Ways to resist and make changes, to be healthy body mind spirit and how we are feeling collectively. Gosh so powerful. So thankful. Please keep spreading this wisdom.

    Dear Sr True Dedication, thank you for understanding the path of mindfulness as a path of resistance. A path with a 'Peace' unbrella. A path out of toxic work and social ways of being. This helps me to live mindfully and creatively, while I create my new space of regenerative agriculture around me.

    Beautiful talk! I wish I had heard such a talk in 1970 in Thailand when I did a 30 day Vipassana Insight Meditation retreat in silence, alone in a room in someone's house. This Dharma talk helped me go back into that time and understand it more clearly. Thank you.

    1:14:45 I was once told that I wasn't making enough money to support myself. Yet I was sitting in front of him. What he meant was that I wasn't consumerist enough at the time, in his eyes. (And he felt that I needed some kind of punishment because of that, instead of continued support.) I find these talks not only really really useful but also very healing.

    this talk is radical compassion. thank you sister true dedication for your truth-telling. you are honest and brave to address systems of harm, and speak of a true paradigm shift...you do so from a place of radical love. these teachings embody, "being peace". I am inspired to slow down in my life, to practice outwardly, not just for my own health, but as a radical act of resistance.

    This is one of the finest gems of many wonderful Dharma talks I have seen. Sister True Dedication offers wisdom beyond her years. The realities of "collective consciousness" and "collective energy" are revelatory. How I missed these realities over the many years I've followed Thay and Plum Village teachings, it was today as I searched for words grounded in. wisdom. I am grateful for Sister T.D.'s articulate offering for honesty and vulnerability of her own self-discovery, which was inspirational. Thank you. Namasté.

    Dear Sister this was a most precious and inspiring talk. I am no longer a young person and this talk brought back some youthful joy to my heart that has been weighed down over the years with the sorrows of the world. May I ask if there are virutal sangha groups that we can join to continue this conversation and practice in our lives? I often feel the weight is greatest when I have no one to share and sit with....you have helped me to feel connected and rejoice in our practice. Also Sister thank you for speaking candidly about corporations, and their continued push to foster over-consumption. I realize it was a bit uncomfortable for you but your words are sure to inspire so many of us with this teaching. May all beings benefit 🙏🙏🙏
