During our 5-day Holiday Retreat with several hundred guests, the first Dharma talk of the retreat is offered by Sr. Dang Nghiem. The talk begins with an introduction to listening, followed by chanting the name of Avaloketeshvara, and then the dharma talk. We touch on neuroplasity, going home, four kinds of people, and the three refuges.

453: Understanding Our Impulses

From our series of questions and responses on March 26, 2023 in the Ocean of Peace Meditation, we heard this question. When moments of personal suffering take over and have a combustable quality, what advice do you have for a person experiencing this? Or someone who is helping that person?  Our response is offered by Sister Phu Nghiem. 

Moments of Suffering

From our series of questions and responses on March 26, 2023 in the Ocean of Peace Meditation, we heard this question. Thich Nhat Hanh says that anxiety means not being able to dwell in the present moment. But there are times when it is very difficult. In this kind of situation, what other suggestions do you have for coming back to the present moment? Our response is offered by Brother Phap Luu.
