I feel his loss palpably from time to time. I am a Vietnam veteran, strangely a linguist of North Vietnamese. I came home a pacifist finding 'home' in a Quaker meeting. It took a few years to find Thich Nhat Hanh. In the mean time we had sponsored Vietnamese boat people refugees in our home to begin. There I discovered Being Peace and the Miracle of Mindfulness. Forestry was my profession. Trees are a central part of my life as are wildflowers! Now we have lost Thay, he must bloom in many of us now. We need him desperately. Hoa Binh (peace).

11-3-2023 So grateful for That's beautiful, healing words and the gift of this teaching. Deeply grateful for the veteran's response also. I have PTSD from childhood experiences, and I sense that mindfulness is the door to being calm and aware, and it is always open. I am a retired teacher, 80 years breathing on earth, finally understanding how.

My husband was also a Vietnam Vet. He became a teacher because he saw what war does to children and wanted to do something to help change the world. He said it begins with the children. He taught in gang zones, teaching the forgotten and set aside children in USA. So, reading what you shared, touched me deeply. Thank you ☮️🕊️☮️

“I am confident spiritual practice body will go on long after my physical body” this was the last paragraph I had from this man a few days ago then I heard he had died

His voice has the power to soothe a soul overwhelmed with emotion. He can bring hope to so many despairing people with his guided meditation.

Every time I focus on my breath I feel him sitting next to me, telling me to let go of my preconceived notions about life. When I hug a tree I feel his presence in the tree. I'm constantly reminded the people I miss who have transitioned to non physical are still around, living through me, seeing the world through my eyes.

Breathing with my Apple Watch seemed like a chore. After listening to your lecture I went to my back porch to look at the trees and grass. Then I took off my shoes to touch the earth again. I sat down in the cool grass and enjoyed breathing and thanking the trees for their shade and oxygen. I enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels come closer to me. Then my border collie stretched out next to me and taught me how to stretch, relax and enjoy the sky and clouds! I have not felt this happy and peaceful for a long time! Thank you for inviting me to touch the earth. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thay, the master of spiritual life speaks his words and repeatedly emphasizes thoughts with meditative words echoing permanently in his teaching. His words become sacred, light and therefore loving embracing the universe. Thay is love, and only love. I am woken up every time I listen to him, humbled to tears, wanting to always come back to his transforming teaching.

That’s where the monks and nuns of Plum village regularly post videos by Thich Nhat Hanh. That’s also where you can donate if you like.

In total, my channel has brought in roughly $80 since I began posting in 2006. A pittance. I do see that my donation request on this video is upsetting to some viewers and will remove that from the description now. May All Beings Experience Dharma Without Distraction🙏🙏

Thay is teaching me what life is meant to be and that I can have it right here, right now. Apparently, life seems to be happening every day, all the time, every moment. I have lots of "practice" breathing; what in the world should I allow to prevent me from having this life, when all I need to do is breathing practice!

God bless you and your family and people Brother Thich Nhat Hahn!

I love this man!

Hard to find such angels

I need to let my cows go for sure. And then those cows are my children as well, and I know they will always be with me in my heart. Letting go it's the key for better out comes
