Description
August 2, 2012. 92-minute recording given at New Hamlet, Plum Village by Thich Nhat Hanh. This is the twentieth dharma talk of the Summer Opening. The talk was originally given in French and this is an English translation.
We begin with a meditation on the birth of the flame. Does "nothing" exist? What is the existence of nothing?
What is our nature? Are we caught in the notions of birth, death, being, and non-being? These are the foundation of our fear and anxiety. In Buddhism, Right Thinking is being free of these notions. There is only continuation and manifestation. Thinking is already an action.
We continue with a teaching on Right View, Right Speech.
This concludes the 2012 Summer Opening.
