I wholeheartedly believe a large portion of humanity’s peace of mind can be credited to these two men’s teachings and message they’ve come to pass they lived with their lives. Their contributions are immeasurable and I personally recognize them as saints.

"I am taking good care of my anger." Thank you for that Thich Nat Hahn.

Two mindful beings deeply listening and communicating without ego. Imagine a world where everyone communicated in this way. Imagine.

Thay's wise words: "If we are aware that America is made of non-American elements, we are safe. And suppose America realizes that she is made of non-American elements., in that case, it's better for her to take care of non-American elements in order to protect herself and make her truly happy."

Two absolute legends, one is the symbol of love and other peace. Both are no more and yet their essence lives on. Thank you for sharing this.❤

I noticed neither of them respond to an opportunity to have their ego stroked. You can see that Ram admires Thich, almost in an endearing, loving way, but Thich almost seems unaffected or stoic. He responds to every question with equanimity. This is not bad, it's just interesting to see that certain social gratuities just don't apply when two gurus sit before each other. When two beings know they are at the spirit level, the same, who is there to impress? What is there to prove? There's no ass to kiss! There's no tension in awkward silence. There's no short fuses, there's just an exchange.

Agree that Ram Dass has love and respect for Thich. Ram Dass however did not refer to himself as a Guru. That was something thrust upon him from the outside, the media etc. To his credit he saw himself as a pupil. Neem Karoli Baba, a Sadguru, was his primary teacher.

I appreciate how he was able, no matter how old he was, to learn from someone.

This is a jewel, a true gift. Thank you.

Baba Ram Dass asks the perfect questions for this interview, and Thich Nhat Hanh gives a clear simple crystallized view from authentic understanding. Thank you for helping me with real experiential examples. after all it is the practice and experience that is the actual work. I love how TNHanh explains breating in, I know that i am angry. breathing out, I take care of my anger. such a simple object of meditation, concise, indisputable. peace.

Masters of humanity

At this current time, just as in the long history of humans, in which anger is stroked, worked, and used to control humans for selfish reasons, these words and this conversation will always be timely. "Happniess is not an individual matter" I needed to hear that today.

Thich Nat Hahn is an amazing human being...he is a Buddha, an enlightened person. I thank him for his insight and wisdom....and to YT because we can see the teaching ! 🏵️

So humble and enlightened. Just listening to Thick Nhat Hanh I feel better.

Anger is a gift. Harness and control that energy, and direct it lovingly.

Anger is pain in disguise. Frustration and anger are a killer cocktail. Just as the monk said, the only way to change a situation is to nurture yourself by focusing on breathing and becoming aware of your feelings. I tried this on myself and when I let anger take over, the situation got unbearably worse. I saw that the world is made of energy and Consciousness has creative magnetic energy thus by focusing on awareness, the energy of the One will take over and heal or fix the problem because nothing is controlled by the egoic self.

I had a very hard lesson to learn this week ! I had one of my horses come down sick ! Joker the horse was 26 years old and would have been 27 on April 2nd next year ! I tried my best to help him and keep him alive ! I knew that he had to want to live also ! Sadly Wednesday morning Joker passed away ! I buried him that afternoon ! Monday morning when it all started I called the vet ! He came out and gave Joker some shots and told me to walk him ! I did for 6 hours straight out in the heat which was around 110 degrees out ! I had to stop walking him because I couldn't walk anymore ! Tuesday Joker seemed a little better ! But Wednesday morning he was gone ! I had helped deliver Joker as his right hoof was stuck inside his mother this was at 10pm the night of April 2nd ! So Joker was kinda like a child to me as my wife and I didn't have children of our own ! She had 3 sons from a earlier marriage ! So the horses was our children ! I lost my wife 5 years ago to brain cancer ! So I have taking care of the horses since then ! I learned that I had to let him go for his well being not for my wants ! I was very angry about not being able to save him but he is not hurting anymore ! That is what is important to me is to not let any of my animals suffer for my wants but what is best for them !

great interview. If we can combine mindful breathing in with thoughtless meditation, to the point where the breathing comes effortlessly and we are able to drift away into the sub conscious while maintaining this breathing pattern, great strides in astral travel can be made

Is anger ever justified since it is about our wrong perceptions? I held anger for many years and robbed myself of a loving relationship I could have had with my parents. Now they are gone. I’m not quite sure how to reconcile with this in their absence. Now my job is harder. Now I know what heartache my anger caused for my parents, for myself. Such grief I could have lived without and yet my grief has been my greatest teacher in compassion .

Beautiful

A meeting of two great seed planting masters

I had seen the first 9 minutes or so but had never been able to find the rest of the interview. Thanks so much for uploading it! Two of my favorite teachers.

my dear beloved it appears so simple my dear

Two masters talking

Well spoken, Anger is not us, nor are we anger-- Anger is related to hatred and one off the five hindrances to progress on the eightfold path. Anger is fire in the brain--. Anger is overcome by non anger. Conceptually, the elements make up the flower, but without a plan how to organize these, it could be anything-- And the plan has to be there before the actual flower is created and continues to exist at least as long as the flower exists, and therefore has some permanence -- happiness is impermanent, being attached to it creates more suffering, if its not there, one is longing for it, once its there, its the fear, that its ending again, once its gone its the grief having lost happiness dharma is not about gaining happiness. Dharma is about overcoming suffering once and for all.

Planting seeds and pouring some water...

Thich is gone now.....but still lives on.....and will always be with us in his amazing spirit. He did a whole video about this subject of anger on UTube. It is very good. Trying to justify anger,for any reason, is ridiculous so I’m glad Thich shot that idea down quickly. He is truly an amazing soul so far ahead of the rest of us earthly beings. RIP dear Thich.

the dysfunction within a family usually goes totally unnoticed by that family in order to preserve the dysfunction. each member is designated a role. the roles change depending on who is present. some times one person plays two roles at a time in a given situation. if the dynamic calls for four people and there are only three present. to heal from the toxic behaviors you have internalized from your family you Must do it outside of the dynamic. 'Those participating in the toxic dynamic are not a source of discovery! first you must name the dynamic and it's function. always part of the function of a toxic dynamic within a family is the 'dynamics survival' !! when it is threatened you become the 'target' for the other participants. at the core of the dynamic is a lie. to state the lie outright within the dynamic is not tolerated by the entire membership of the family. Talking brings resolution when it is honest and for reconciliation., In a toxic family dynamic it is not allowed and individuals cannot speak their own truth and have their own voice and there own experience. "you can not say that" is common dialog within this dynamic. you you you...everyone working to keep the individual bound to the lie. I statements are true but you statements are a distorted perspective through an interpretation even when it's with good intention. we cannot know anything other than what 'we' have experienced and have no license to dictate to others ...that's totalitarianism at it's best. So called schizophrenics diagnosed in childhood when removed from the family system completely stopped demonstrating the behavioral traits of schizophrenia and became healthy people. this has been demonstrated case after case and is the proof that it is the toxic belief and interaction between members of the family that are the cause not a chemical imbalance or heredity. remove yourself from the situation, seek a good toxic dynamic family therapist and walk down a path to a happy life. we can't change Anyone but OURSELVES. staying in a toxic environment is like NOT leaving a burning ship. and courage is the ability to love when afraid. n you have to start with your self to be able to love.
