July 18, 2012. 88-minute recording given at Upper Hamlet, Plum Village by Thich Nhat Hanh. This is the ninth dharma talk of the Summer Opening and this is a session of questions and answers.

Children

How does it feel when you are dead?

Sometimes I feel nobody loves us and I'm all alone.

A game the children are playing has something about killing. Is this okay? Help me understand.

Teens and Adults

People seem afraid of silence. Is it because they are afraid of being with themselves?

I experience extreme energies and sometimes feel as a victim with the energy.

Husband is in a deep depression and then one of our daughters was seriously injured. He feels it's unjust and he is suffering. How can I help him transform suffering he doesn't see in himself?

Difficulties with meditation. What happens during meditation and how can I improve?
