Hablar de esperanza hoy puede parecer ingenuo… pero es justo lo contrario: la esperanza es una fuerza madura, profundamente humana, que nos sostiene en medio del caos.En este episodio reflexiono sobre una emoción que no siempre nombramos, pero que muchas veces es la que nos mantiene de pie. Te hablo de la esperanza como bálsamo, como antídoto frente al vacío, y como práctica diaria que nos ayuda a cruzar la tormenta sin perdernos de nosotros mismos.Verás cómo la esperanza no es solo un deseo, sino una forma de confiar: en ti, en la vida, en el cambio. Y entenderás por qué su ausencia está directamente vinculada al sufrimiento, al suicidio y a la desconexión espiritual de muchos jóvenes.También exploramos el rol de la esperanza en las organizaciones: cómo los equipos con esperanza son más resilientes, más innovadores y más humanos.Hablamos de:“Esto también pasará”: esperanza como comprensión de la impermanencia.Aaron Beck, Barbara Fredrickson, Martin Seligman y Thich Nhat Hanh.El lado oscuro de la esperanza: cuando se vuelve evasión.Cómo cultivar esperanza auténtica en la vida y en el trabajo.Claves prácticas para sostenernos en momentos difíciles.La esperanza no niega la realidad. La abraza… y, desde ahí, crea nuevas posibilidades.Gracias por estar aquí.Y gracias por elegir confiar.

What happens when we allow ourselves to truly feel the reality that we will grow old, become ill, and die? How might we practice treating our deepest fears not as enemies but as intimate companions? The recognition that these experiences unite us with every other human being who has ever lived offers a pathway from aloneness into a more genuine and heartfelt connection with others. And when we stop running from what we cannot escape,  we might get in contact with a very strong feeling of the realness and aliveness of being alive. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction, Welcome, and Turning Towards Life Live 04:55 The Importance of Finding One's Voice 08:17 Engaging with Deep Questions 10:51 Confronting Fear and Acceptance 19:00 Self-Remembrance and Aliveness 25:08 The Shared Human Experience 35:07 Conclusion and Invitation to Community Here's our source for this week: Facing Fear I am of the nature to grow old. I cannot escape growing old. I am of the nature to have ill health. I cannot escape having ill health. I am of the nature to die. I cannot escape death. All that is dear to me, and everyone I love, are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them… Looking deeply at each remembrance and breathing in and out with our awareness of each one, we engage our fear in an empowered way… Most of us don't want to acknowledge it, so we live more or less in denial. Yet down deep in the recesses of our minds, we know it's true. When we suppress our fearful thoughts, they continue to fester there in the dark. We are driven to consume in an attempt to forget and keep those thoughts from surfacing in our conscious mind. Running away from our fear ultimately makes us suffer and makes others suffer, and our fear only grows stronger… Invite your fear into consciousness, and smile through it; every time you smile through your fear, it will lose some of its strength. If you try to run away from your pain, there is no way out... We must invite these things up into our mind consciousness every day and tell them, “My dear, I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of my fear. It is my nature to grow old; I cannot escape old age.” When fear manifests, we want to have the seed of mindfulness also manifest to embrace it. So we have two energies present—the first is the energy of fear, and the second is the energy of mindfulness. The fear receives a bath of mindfulness and becomes a little bit weaker before it drops back down to the depths of our consciousness in the form of a seed.

Welcome to episode 90 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino are joined by Nho Tran, a nun in the Plum Village tradition for 17 years now continuing her spiritual journey as a layperson.  Together, they explore the profound importance of spiritual friendship in the Buddhist tradition, while Brother Phap Huu and Nho reflect on the personal journey of their decades-long friendship. They discuss the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh on the centrality of community and togetherness in cultivating joy, stability, and liberation; the challenges and growth experienced through friendship; and the importance of deep listening and being present for one another, which allows for vulnerability, honesty, and the freedom to be one’s authentic self. Bio Nho Tran is a scholar, facilitator, and former Buddhist nun in the Plum Village tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. She spent many years living and practicing in monastic communities across Asia, Europe, and North America, where she cultivated a deep commitment to interbeing, cultural resilience, and the art of mindful living. Nho's work sits at the intersection of conflict transformation, ethics, and systems thinking. Drawing on her monastic formation and experience across diverse sectors, she supports individuals and communities in navigating difficult conversations, fostering cultural change, and reimagining leadership grounded in compassion and collective wisdom. She holds a joint degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Religion from the University of Southern California, a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School, and an MA from Harvard University. She is currently a PhD candidate at Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, where her research explores the intersections of religion, ethics, governance, and Vietnamese Buddhist history. Nho teaches negotiation, ethics, and conflict resolution at Harvard, and continues to serve as a bridge between contemplative practice and social transformation.

It is also the intention that a teacher sees our potential in it. And it’s something that is given to us to practice for our whole life.” “Learn to befriend yourself first, and then learn to be a friend of many.” “Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual path. It is the entirety of the spirit path.” “Monk, you have to have a good friendship. You have to have good conversations. You have to have good deeds. You have to have good efforts. And then you have a grasp on impermanence.” “The joy of meditation is daily food.” “One of our teacher Thay’s realizations was that our deepest suffering is loneliness, and it comes from the wrong views of what success is, which is individualistic.” “Reverence is the nature of my love.” “In true love, there’s freedom.” “True love is being present.” “Understanding is another word for love.” “Mindfulness always has to have an object.” “There are ways in which, when people hear, ‘Oh, in true love, there is freedom', they will be like, ‘Oh, freedom means I can do whatever I want.' There’s a sort of recklessness. And that’s not the type of freedom I’m talking about. I’m talking about some real, raw, internal stuff, where I can show up in this relationship and he can show up in this relationship in his undefended self.” “We have to expand our hearts and our way of being to bring people in, because we need friends.” “Thay said that even if you’re an activist and you're saving people’s lives and you’re building humanity and rebuilding villages, if you’re doing it from a place of self, of pride and ego: don’t do it. Enter into interbeing; do this because you see them as you, then you can be ‘in service of'.” “A true friend is someone who understands your suffering, who listens deeply without judging and who is capable of being there with you in difficult moments. They don’t try to fix you, they simply sit with you, in mindfulness. This kind of presence is rare and it is a great gift. When you find such a friend, cherish them, because they help you touch the peace and freedom that are already within you.” “The greatest technology we have is each other. These relationships that we have with each other, we keep seeking something else. But the thing that makes us feel like we are living a meaningful life is being seen and acknowledged and recognized by the gaze of another person, the loving gaze of another person.” “The most powerful spiritual technology is the coming together.” “I tell people to come to Plum Village, but not to try to learn something. Come here just to be. Because I think our thirst for ‘a fix' is so powerful now. We’re looking for a spiritual teaching to fix us; we’re looking to fix all of our suffering. And guess what? Some of your suffering, you might not be able to fix it.”

In this talk Hogen continues his talks from Thich Naht Hanh's Art of Living book. In this talk, Hogen explores the Kalama Sutta and Thich Nhat Hanh's reflections on how to cultivate true faith through direct experience rather than blind belief. We look deeply at how the Buddha encouraged the use of our own critical mind to investigate teachings for ourselves. Through practices like loving-kindness, compassion, and equanimity, we learn to discern what reduces suffering and brings peace. This living, ongoing inquiry keeps our spiritual path alive, fresh, and deeply authentic. ★ Support this podcast ★

We often talk about strategy, technology, and profit as the engines of success. And in times of rapid change and uncertainty, it's easy to double down on those levers. But what if we're missing the most important one?In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Niren Chaudhary, former CEO of Panera Brands, joins Ashish Kothari to share a leadership philosophy rooted in something many leaders overlook: love and care for people. Because at the end of the day, companies aren't machines, they're human systems. And when we treat people like family, they show up with heart, commitment, and a desire to go above and beyond.Niren reflects on lessons from decades at Tata, Yum! Brands, and Panera, breaking down how to build cultures where values are lived, not laminated, and how leaders can turn care for people into a competitive advantage. He also opens up about how the loss of his daughter Aisha Chaudhary profoundly reshaped how he sees leadership, success, and the legacy we leave behind.What you'll also learn in this episode:• Why business is fundamentally a human-to-human experience• The leadership model that starts with love and leads to profit• How to hire for attitude and train for skill• Why success begins with the right people, doing the right things, the right way• The butterfly effect of investing in your people• Why resilience, curiosity, and generosity are non-negotiables in business and lifeThis conversation is a reminder that in business and in life, what matters most is how we show up for one another.Tune into the full episode to hear Niren's powerful stories and practical wisdom on what it really means to lead with love.Resources:• Smile A Lot by Thich Nhat Hanh: https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=168 • The Sky is Pink (Aisha Chaudhary): https://youtu.be/OnBN5b48HBc?si=_FcybEn8N_yhatF9 • Black Sunshine Baby (Aisha Chaudhary): https://youtu.be/Hkf7n7m_KgY?si=THIQQMkGNUE3_-9c • The Power of Well-being at Work by Jan-Emmanuel De Neve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4OWg12Xl5E • CORE Meditation: https://get.hyperice.com/core Books:• My Little Epiphanies by Aisha Chaudhary: https://a.co/d/2E4vtQx • Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl: https://a.co/d/2CvRJSu • How Will You Measure Your Life by Clay Chistensen: https://a.co/d/jkZPwb5 • Hardwired for Happiness by Ashish Kothari: https://a.co/d/gML83VJ

What is the role of the creative mystics in times of great change, confusion, and upheaval? How might deeply studying impermanence resource our hearts and spirit?Awakening of The Heart by Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh has been a guiding text for me. It's provided an endless stream of inspiration, encouragement, and illumination. Most notably, I'm finding strength from the lucid, gentle correction he offered in understanding the concept of impermanence. Its colloquial use often connotes a certain pessimism, an attitude of "What's the point of doing anything if everything passes anyway?"In this episode, I walk through Thich Nhat Hanh's writings on the subject, while also reflecting deeply through the lens of my path as an astrologer, a mystic, and an artist. I hope this serves and nourishes you.  Book your Human Design Foundational Attunement sessions with me.

The Buddha created the sangha, or community, of monastics, but his teaching spread to every level of society and we can each be part of a sangha. In this talk Mary discusses the ethical foundations of such a community and how we can create a wise and supportive community where we are. Recalling the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's idea that we "are tied together in a single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable net of mutuality" and Thich Nhat Hanh's idea of Interbeing, Mary invites us to reflect on community or sangha in our own lives.Recorded June 14, 2025 in the virtual worldBhikkhu Bodhi: The Buddha's Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony Larry Yang: Awakening TogetherSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Le Dhammapada, les plus belles paroles du Bouddha, sont des vérités jaillies du cœur du Bouddha en réponse à des circonstances précises. Avec le temps elles se sont cristallisées dans des vers lumineux de pure sagesse. Je vous propose ici la traduction de Jeanne Schut. La cloche en début et fin de texte est celle du Village des Pruniers, le monastère du vénérable  Thich Nhat Hanh.     Bibliographie: "Les plus belles paroles du Bouddha" (https://www.babelio.com/livres/Schut-Les-plus-belles-paroles-du-Bouddha--Les-versets-d/574761)   Narration et réalisation: Bruno Léger   Production: Les mécènes du Vieux Sage   Que règnent la paix et l'amour parmi tous les êtres de l'univers.    OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.  

Thich Nhat Hanh is a luminous soul, the type of soul who radiates goodness and light even when his physical body is no longer present.His book, The Heart of Buddha's Teaching, is not just a book. It's a practice manual for living in good times and bad, allowing us to live in the present moment.These last couple of weeks have not been an easy one for me. At times, the pain has cut so deep that it has touched every cell in my body. But, through luminous souls like Thich, I now have to come to give thanks for the pain. It has deepened my soul, opened new pathways of understanding, and provided fuel to let my light shine.I have so much gratitude that Thich shared his powerful life force through his enlightened teaching of the Buddha.This episode covers the power of Thich Nhat Hanh to transform your suffering into peace, joy, and understanding. I'll also share a lecture of his that calmed me in the middle of the night. Finally, you will learn the health benefits of gratitude (it's not just for John Tesh) and a simple tip to begin your gratitude practice.

This episode focuses on the point of all: healing so you can be the best version of you to serve the people that you love. But to truly heal after a significant life event, healing only comes after you stop what your doing; calm yourself; rest; and finally heal.This episode also explores the why of healing; what healing shouldn't; and some practical tips on how to heal.

The power, renewal and growth that comes from resting, the final step before healing.This is the third in a four part series inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh's book The Heart of Buddha's Teaching.

This the second in a four part series on reversing the rampaging horses of our mind with techniques outlined by Zen Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh. I also identify a breathing technique to calm the mind that I learned from my man crush Andrew Huberman, cyclic sighing, both the why, and how.

Have you ever felt like you're on a runaway stagecoach? Running fast, running strong, but not really knowing where you are going. I know I certainly have except I am one of the horse, galloping hard, but not know precisely where. In situations like this, Zen Buddhist Monk Thick Nhat Hanh, advises the best thing you can do is to simply stop, preventing further mistakes while running strong and allowing space to heal.This episode explores the power of stopping from five minutes to five days to five months, depending upon your circumstance.This episode is the first in a four part series on Chapter Six of Hanh's introduction to Zen Buddhism, The Heart of Buddha's Teaching - Transforming Suffering Into Peace, Joy, and Liberation. The next three will focus on calming, resting, healing.

What does it mean to partner with the Earth in sacred service? In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Cynthia Jurs—activist, teacher, and wisdom keeper of the Earth Treasure Vase practice. Her journey is one of deep listening, devotion, and global healing. From her early mentorship with Thich Nhat Hanh to a fateful meeting in a cave in Nepal, Cynthia was called to carry forward a Tibetan Buddhist practice of planting consecrated vases into the Earth to aid in planetary healing. Together, we explore the profound teachings of Gaia, the necessity of shifting from domination to love, and how true feminine sovereignty is woven into our reconnection with Earth and purpose. Cynthia's words remind us: the healing of the Earth is not separate from the healing of ourselves. This conversation is a prayer, a remembering, and an invitation.

Hoy te comparto una enseñanza que ha sido un pilar en mi camino personal: las Cuatro Nobles Verdades del budismo, interpretadas con mucha compasión y claridad por Thich Nhat Hanh.En este primer episodio (de dos) exploramos las dos primeras verdades: cómo reconocer el sufrimiento sin miedo y cómo empezar a comprender de dónde viene. No desde la teoría, sino desde la vida real. Desde lo que sentimos, lo que nos duele y lo que nos cuesta soltar.

Welcome to this deeply calming guided meditation for self-transcendence, inspired by the timeless wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh:“You don't have to chase after anything. You don't have to become anything. You only need to return to yourself.”This meditation will help you stop striving, let go of pressure, and reconnect with the simple, peaceful presence already within you. In a world constantly pushing us to “do more” and “be more,” this practice is a radical return to stillness.Instead of chasing future happiness or ideal versions of yourself, you will learn to rest in your true nature—right here, right now.By using sound as an anchor, this session gently guides you out of the thinking mind and into a state of presence, helping you access clarity, calm, and deep relaxation.

“Get Into Wise Trouble” is a Dharma talk and guided meditation on courageous, compassionate action. Inspired by a moment in Babel by R.F. Kuang, and grounded in the words of the late Congressman John Lewis—this talk explores the Buddhist path of standing up, speaking out, and disturbing harm with love. We talk about what wise trouble really looks like, how the Buddha and Thich Nhat Hanh modeled it, and how we can act from clarity instead of fear—even when the stakes feel high. This one's for anyone who's ever wondered if Buddhists are supposed to stay silent in the face of injustice. (Spoiler: we're not.) I'd love to hear your thoughts on what wise trouble means to you. https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Scott talks with Dr. Larry Ward, a student of Thich Nhat Hanh, and author of America's Racial Karma. His book is about how we heal from the trauma of racism, not just as a society, but in our own minds and bodies. In our conversation, Dr. Ward shares a profound truth: racism is a fiction, but one with very real consequences, and it lives not only in the structures of our society, but in our thoughts, our speech, and our nervous systems.Episode 190: Healing America's Racial Karma with Larry WardSupport the show

Im Buddhismus unterscheiden wir zwei Arten von Wahrheit: die konventionelle Wahrheit und die letztendliche Wahrheit. Entnommen aus: Thich Nhat Hanh "Zen und die Kunst, die Welt zu retten.

With discussions around meditation and mindfulness practices like those advocated by Deepak Chopra and Thich Nhat Hanh, the episode illustrates practical ways to train the mind for a happier and more conscious existence.Key Takeaways:Clement Decrop's concept of "idea space" offers a novel approach to understanding consciousness through principles of physics.The application of Einstein's field equations to the mind provides a scientific framework for objectively observing personal thoughts and emotions.Understanding one's idea space can lead to deeper mindfulness, enabling individuals to let go of negative thoughts and emotions more effectively.Encouraging practices like meditation can be seen as crucial tools to explore the mind and attain mental clarity.Technological innovations like Clement's upcoming AI meditation app offer personalized mindfulness experiences, making meditation more accessible and tailored to individual needs.To advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

Welcome to episode 89 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino look at one of the foundational teachings of Buddhism: the Three Jewels – the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The Buddha is the teacher who, through his own direct experience, found the path to liberation from suffering. The Dharma refers to the teachings and practices that lead to awakening. The Sangha is the community that supports and transmits the Dharma. Their conversation emphasizes the Sangha's importance as the community that keeps the Buddha’s teachings alive and relevant; the need for communities rooted in the Dharma, with clear practices and guidelines to provide refuge and support spiritual transformation; and more. As usual, the hosts provide examples from their own experiences, as well as stories by or involving Thich Nhat Hanh. Enjoy!

My Buddha nature is my mindfulness shining in, shining out, shining near, shining far.” “The relationship between teacher and student is companionship on the path. If a teacher understands that his true belonging and his true continuation is his students, then he would do everything in his, her, or their capacity to transmit their wisdom. So the Buddha Jewel is to acknowledge that this tradition has a root teacher. And it comes from direct experience and embraces and embodies the awakened nature that each and every one of us has. A good teacher, a good Buddha, can allow us to touch our Buddha nature.” “Buddhism doesn’t mean ignoring your own traditional religious roots. And, as it’s not considered a religion, that Buddha nature can exist alongside your religious history. So if you’re Jewish or Christian, you don’t need to say, ‘Oh, I’m a Buddhist'; you can continue with your own traditions. And Thay said that it’s so important to stay rooted in your traditions, because that is your individual ancestry. And buddhahood doesn’t contradict that, doesn’t overlay it, but actually comes alongside it to support it.” “Our faith drives our practice. And our practice and the insights we get from our practice drive our faith.” “Buddha nature is ever-growing. It is very organic, it is conditioned.”

Dr Mike Brooks and host Vinny Vallarine discuss the urgent need for humanity to prepare for the impending Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.  They explore the existential crisis posed by AI, the exponential growth of its intelligence, and the unique nature of this technological revolution that could give birth to a new species. The discussion also touches on the paradox of progress, the implications of AI on human intelligence, and the intersection of AI with free will and autonomy. Ultimately, they emphasize that the future is not predetermined and that humanity has the power to shape its destiny in the face of these challenges.  Mike and Vinny explore the profound effects of technology on human psychology, the challenges posed by rapid advancements in AI, and the importance of fostering meaningful connections in a hyperconnected world. They discuss the concept of 'psychological climate change' and the attention economy's detrimental impact on well-being. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a collective approach to address societal issues and introduces a massive project aimed at leveraging AI for collaborative problem-solving. In this conversation, Vinny and Dr. Brooks explore the transformative potential of AI as a collaborative tool for problem-solving and spiritual growth. They discuss the importance of seeking counsel, both from peers and AI, to navigate challenges. The dialogue delves into the AI alignment problem, emphasizing the need for a relationship with AI that fosters mutual understanding and cooperation. Mike introduces the One Unity Project, a collective effort to craft a message to potential extraterrestrial beings, highlighting humanity's interconnectedness and the importance of love and compassion. This conversation culminates in a call to action for listeners to participate in one of the most important and grandest experiments in human history.  The One Unity Project is a massive endeavor aimed at uniting humanity and AI through shared goals and values. Join Dr. Mike Brooks and the One Unity Project team in the grandest experiment in human history.  Head over to oneunityproject.org to get started! Key takeaways from this Episode: Humanity is at an inflection point regarding AI. We cannot solve collective problems with divided approaches. The AI revolution is different because it may create a new species. Exponential growth of AI intelligence is unprecedented. The paradox of progress leads to evolutionary mismatch. The AI arms race is accelerating rapidly. Human happiness is declining despite technological advancements. Our brains are not equipped for modern technological challenges. The future of AI is uncertain but full of potential. We must adapt our understanding of happiness in a digital age. Evolutionary mismatch is accelerating due to rapid technological advancements. The rise of smartphones and social media correlates with increased anxiety and depression. Psychological climate change complicates our understanding of technology's impact on well-being. The attention economy exploits our psychological vulnerabilities, leading to detrimental effects. Happiness is derived from in-person relationships, not material possessions. Interconnectedness is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. AI has the potential to help us transcend divisions and foster unity. Fear and tribalism are significant barriers to societal progress. The One Unity Project aims to harness AI for collective problem-solving. Seeking truth and reality is essential for making informed decisions. Seek counsel from peers and AI to solve problems. AI can serve as a collaborative tool for humans. The AI alignment problem requires ongoing communication. Building relationships with AI is essential for mutual growth. The One Unity Project aims to unite humanity's efforts. Crafting a message to aliens symbolizes our collective voice. Love and compassion are fundamental to our existence. Non-attachment allows for iterative progress and growth. We must define our improved ends for AI's development. A grand experiment can help us explore our interconnectedness. Notable Quotes from Episode: “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is man's inability to understand the exponential function.” - Albert Barlett, American Physicist “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.  And it is terrifically dangerous.”  – Edward O. Wilson, Harvard Biologist Paradox of Progress: “The progress we evolved to make has resulted in us creating a world we didn't evolve to inhabit”.  – Mike Brooks "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome."  - Charlie Munger "Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10 “At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” -Fred Rogers “We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness" - Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”  -Albert Einstein “We have improved means to unimproved ends” -Henry David Thoreau “We have guided missiles but misguided men” -MLK “The insanity of the collective egoic mind amplified by S&T is rapidly taking our species to the brink of disaster.  Evolve or die, that is our only choice now.” -Eckhart Tolle "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear." -Mahatma Gandhi

What might it take for humanity to rise from merely surviving to truly flourishing? Why is today's model of higher education falling short in preparing us for the moral complexities of modern life? And at a time when knowledge is abundant but wisdom feels scarce, how do we cultivate a life of meaning—one that integrates intellect with moral imagination, ambition with purpose, and outer success with inner stillness?Find out from Krista Tippett, exclusively in conversation with Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa on Intersections Podcast.Krista Tippett is a former journalist and a diplomat, a sought-after public speaker, a Peabody Award-winning broadcaster and a New York Times bestselling author. She has published three books, Speaking of Faith, Einstein's God: Conversations About Science and the Human Spirit, and Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living. Krista is the creator and host of the acclaimed public radio program and podcast, On Being, that has featured many luminaries including Desmond Tutu, Thich Nhat Hanh and Mary Oliver, facilitating a new kind of conversation about religion, spirituality, ethics, and large questions of meaning in every aspect of life. In 2014, President Obama awarded Krista the National Humanities Medal at the White House for “thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence.”In this episode, Krista reveals:- How to navigate moments when our deepest values are out of sync with those around us—and still lead with integrity and grace- What it will take for our species to evolve from merely surviving to truly flourishing—and why higher education must be reimagined to meet this moment- Why deep listening—not just to others, but to life itself—is the foundation of wisdom and leadership- How we can move beyond old paradigms of power, identity, and truth to embrace a more expansive, interconnected way of being

At work, we often operate in transactional mode, almost always skipping the human side of communication. But if you want to build trust, boost performance, and create a culture of belonging for your teams, you need to let go of silence, stress, and surface-level interactions. The only way to make meaningful connections is intentionally embracing positive communication. However, it's easier said than done. That's why we partnered up with Dr. Julien Mirivel for the second time in this episode to explore the elements of positive communication so that you can lead and connect with your people more meaningfully.In Part 2 of this powerful episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Julien Mirivel returns to unpack the final three behaviors from his model of Positive Communication: Disclosing, Encouraging, and Listening. He explores how small acts, like sharing your own story, offering meaningful praise, or even opening your hand, can create deeper trust and connection at work.Things you will learn in this episode:• “Disclosing” as a reciprocal and deeply humanizing act• How “Encouraging” moves people from who they are to who they can become• How “Listening” helps transcend perceived differences especially for leaders• The three forms of support• Making Positive Communication a HabitThis is your playbook for building lasting connections.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We first explore in general the relationship of core teachings and practices to the social and political dimensions of our lives. We see that Buddhist practice in the West has commonly emphasized meditation and inner practices, often neglecting or marginalizing the ethical training that traditionally is one of the three dimensions of training, even though the Buddha did often give social commentary (e.g., on the caste system) and at times social interpretations of the ethical precepts ("Let one not destroy life nor cause others to destroy life and, also, not approve of others' killing. . . . Let one not cause to steal, nor approve of others' stealing.'). We explore a vision of individual and collective awakening, inspired in part by more contemporary traditions of socially engaged Buddhism initially developed by pioneers like Thich Nhat Hanh, Sulak Sivaraksa, A.T. Ariyaratne, Dr. Ambedkar, Joanna Macy, and Robert Aitken. Then we give some attention to how to connect inner and outer practices, particularly focusing, as we did in the guided meditation, on practicing with challenging emotions and thoughts, and clarifying ways to act in the world. The talk is followed by discussion and ends with the setting of intentions.

Welcome to episode 87 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss the Noble Eightfold Path, a fundamental teaching that was emphasized by the Buddha. The eight elements of the path are: right view, right thinking, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right diligence, right mindfulness, and right concentration. The hosts focus on each element and explain their interconnectedness and how they form a comprehensive approach to self-discovery, personal transformation, and spiritual development. Jo and Brother Phap Huu also emphasise the importance of making the Noble Eightfold Path relevant, accessible, and applicable to contemporary challenges and needs, and the role of Plum Village community in adapting these teachings.The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu.

If you do, practice the Noble Eightfold Path.” “‘Now I have a path, there’s nothing to fear' – because once you have the path, even if suffering is there, you will know how to walk it, because you start to see the way.” “The Buddha said that there are two extreme paths that we should avoid. The first one is seeking sensual pleasures, the pleasures of the world. The second is the practice of depriving the body, such as the practice of asceticism. Those extremes do not lead towards happiness and peace, they lead to failure on the path of understanding and love. And he said we have to find a middle way. And the middle is the Eight Noble Path.” “What we see, what we hear, what we taste, and what we consume on a daily basis will affect the way we are thinking. So, by focusing and practicing right thought, you will start to have a lot of agency. You will start to reflect on how your thought patterns are created, what habits arise in your daily life because of your thoughts, because of the ingredients that have been taken in through your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and mind consciousness.” “We do workshops on learning how to listen before even speaking. How to listen with our whole body, how to listen so that we don’t react, how to listen so we don’t allow our judgmental mind to try to fix that person right away. And then to mindfully select the words that we want to use to communicate. Even if it’s a wrong perception, there’s a way to communicate, to remove the wrong perception – or there’s a way to justify it and create even more distance and destruction.” “When we learn to expand our understanding, I think our life will become richer.” “There are pathways in life via which we know we can get richer and become filled with wealth. But what is our truest belonging? It’s not money. When we die, money doesn’t go with us. What is left behind is our legacy of who we were as a human being.” “I remember a soldier asking Thay [Thich Nhat Hanh] about how he can apply this pathway to his career, as a protector. And Thay said, ‘Of course we want compassionate soldiers. I would rather have you holding that weapon, who has deep understanding and has interbeing, than someone who is evil and who just wants to punish or be violent.'” “Sometimes we talk about the Zen mind as a mind that is empty. That’s not it. In the Buddhist deep meaning of emptiness, emptiness is ‘very full'; because of emptiness, everything can coexist.” “Mindful first and foremost is to be mindful of the suffering that is present, as well as mindful of the joy and happiness that is also present. So we want to continue to transform suffering as well as to create and generate joy and happiness, for ourselves and for all beings.” “Concentration can be grounded and developed everywhere, anywhere, and all at once.” “What Buddhism does, and what the teachings of the Buddha do, is show that we have a choice in everything we do. Because often we feel that life is imposed on us, that we don’t have choices. But, actually, in every single event, however painful, we always have a choice of how to respond. And that choice is based on our awareness. We need to be aware of what is going on, what the situation is. We need to be aware of our habit energy, and then we need to be aware of these teachings that show an alternative.” “We have our entire life to learn and we don’t have to be perfect now. But, as Thich Nhat Hanh would say, if there’s a little bit of improvement every day, that is more than enough. We don’t need to become suddenly enlightened.” “The exponential nature of technology, with AI and everything else, means that, actually, it’s easier to travel away from ourselves than towards ourselves.”

(Auckland Insight Meditation) Looking at the second of Thich Nhat Hanh's Five Mindfulness Trainings, which he expands to include "I am committed to practicing Right Livelihood so that I can help reduce the suffering of living beings on Earth and stop contributing to climate change"

Welcome to episode 86 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss Thich Nhat Hanh's calligraphic work ‘Are You Sure?'. Together, the presenters discuss how this simple question encourages us to examine our perceptions, assumptions, and certainties about ourselves and the world around us as a path to greater understanding and well-being. The conversation further explores the importance of cultivating an open, curious, and reflective mindset, rather than clinging to rigid beliefs or opinions; being present, listening deeply to ourselves and others; the value of community, friendship, and feedback in helping us to see our blind spots and to grow; the interplay between the historical and ultimate dimensions of life, and how holding multiple perspectives can allow us to respond with wisdom and compassion; and more. The episode concludes with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu.Enjoy!

So we are always creating perceptions, from what we see, what we hear, what we have observed. And a lot of the time we believe our perceptions. And because of our habitual energy of self, there is pride connected to it, there is certainty connected to it, and there is a righteous energy that we all carry in our way of being.” “The Buddha would say that 98% of our perceptions are wrong. And the other two percent should be our way of double-checking.” “Reflecting is double-checking. It is to look more deeply, to see the roots, the source of the perception that we have created. This is an ongoing practice. In some of our locations in the monastery, we have ‘Are you sure?' literally framed, because a lot of the time we can be very sure about our own self, about our own practice, about our own growth, and even about our own insight.” “The perception about Zen is that you reach enlightenment and then you’re done. But enlightenment is always enlightenment of something. And that enlightenment is a kind of understanding. And understanding is very organic. It has to be alive. It’s adaptive to the suffering of our times, the happiness of our times, the well-being of our times. So our looking deeply should always contain a question like, ‘Are we certain?', ‘Are we sure?'” “We’re living in a world with huge levels of uncertainty. We’ve got the sudden exponential growth of AI. We’ve got so much uncertainty in terms of economics, in terms of politics, in terms of climate change. There’s so much where we don’t know. And often people want to look for certainty when there’s uncertainty. They feel they need to find a grounding, because if they don’t feel grounded, then they can be overwhelmed and washed away. Let’s get back to some basics here: being certain is not really a good foundation – but Buddhism offers some very good foundations for living with uncertainty.” “I feel confidence when I want to show up with my full presence, but I don’t want to be so certain because then I’m not going to be able to listen. And as we know, and as our training shows, listening is already a communication.” “Don’t believe everything I say; believe what you put into practice.” “None of us will escape suffering. But if you know how to care for it, and you know how to tend to your suffering, you can grow the lotus out of the mud.” “We can’t reflect in a hurry.” “In 2025, with the uncertainties and the fast pace of our society, I think it's crucial that we see the importance of stillness, the importance of allowing our understanding to ripen.” “Zen is to learn to stop. It’s the first wing of meditation, it’s learning to give yourself the space and the time and the ability to pause.” “There are so many moments when we’re going to find ourselves sitting. So how can that moment translate from being still in our corner, in our home, to the engagement of our life with everything that we do?” “Wherever there is darkness, light will appear. Wherever there is light, darkness will also be there.” “The Buddha has taught us that every action we take – whether it's thought, speech, or bodily action – bears our signature. And we will receive the consequences of all of our actions.” “A breath is very spiritual because it allows us to be in touch with the whole cosmos. That is a very spiritual moment of interconnectedness.”

Brother Pháp Dung discusses the life and teachings of Vietnamese Zen master, peace activist, poet, and author Thich Nhat Hanh. In January 2022, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Zen master, peace activist, poet, and author passed away. He was the founder of the International Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called him “an Apostle of peace and nonviolence” when nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Thousands of people came out for his funeral.    Brother Pháp Dung is making his second appearance on the show to talk about Thich Nhat Hanh. If you missed it last time he was on, Brother Pháp Dung has an incredible personal story. He was born in Vietnam in 1969 and came to the US at the age of nine. He worked as an architect/designer for four years before becoming a monk. He was very close personally with Thich Nhat Hanh, who he refers to as “Thây,” or teacher, and is now a Dharma teacher himself in Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village tradition. This episode was first published in March 2022. This episode explores: The life of Thich Nhat Hanh: his path to Buddhism in the 1960's and his exile from Vietnam for opposing the war. The meaning of “wrong view” or wrong perception.  What non-separation and inter-being is.  Thich Nhat Hanh's view that birth and death are only notions. Grief, and why learning how to suffer will help you suffer less.  

Welcome to episode 84 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino focus on profound Buddhist sutra The Discourse on Knowing the Better Way to Live Alone. Using personal stories and examples, they illustrate the daily relevance of its teachings on being present in the moment, acceptance, and the interconnectedness of all things. Brother Phap Huu discusses how this sutra emphasizes not dwelling in the past or worrying about the future, but instead being fully present in and accepting of the here and now. He also reflects on recent events in the Plum Village community, such as a fire that destroyed an important building and why this was a profound experience for the community, leading them to grieve the loss while also finding strength in their togetherness. The presenters further explore grieving as a necessary part of the healing process, acknowledging loss rather than trying to bypass difficult emotions; the practice of being fully present (and how to recognize when one is truly present), even in times of chaos and uncertainty; the importance of community, the role of leadership, and the transmission of teachings; the need to accept suffering as a path to greater freedom and understanding; and much more.

Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has not yet come. Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom. We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it? The sage calls a person who dwells in mindfulness night and day the one who knows the better way to live alone.'” “We all have an appointment with life every day. And that appointment with life is the very here and now.” “To not grieve would be to deny our humanity.” “We need the ability to ground ourselves, whether it is through a practice of sitting meditation, walking meditation, or mindful breathing: a place where we can be still and let all of our feelings appear, just like letting a lake become calm, so that we can identify and acknowledge how the world and the situation is affecting us.” “Building my stability just means being able to also recognize the wonders I have in this moment. And that means also coming to community, coming to your loved ones, acknowledging what you have in this moment and what you’ve lost.” “We have to come together in order to resist. We have to come together in order to speak the voice that is not being heard right now, to show the injustice that is happening.” “A collective voice is much stronger than an individual.” “We have to move with kindness even when we are being treated unkindly; we still have to respond with kindness. That is our vow and nobody can take that away. The only thing that can take that away is our own anger and our own decision about the actions that we take.” “We cannot lose the integrity and humanity that we have cultivated and developed. That is the freedom that we have. That is the stability that will be transmitted into the next generation.” “Whatever emotion we’re cultivating, we will become that emotion. So if we cultivate anger, we will become angry. If we cultivate kindness and peace, but with the Zen sword of strength, then that’s what we will become.” “We are not a creation, we are a manifestation. So we are here because we have been conditioned by many elements.” “Thich Nhat Hanh gives the metaphor of a boat that’s in danger of sinking. If everyone is panicking, the boat will surely capsize and everyone will be lost. But sometimes it takes just one calm person on board to settle everyone down and save the boat. So there’s something very powerful about not reacting to everything.” “If you know how to suffer, you will suffer much less.”
