Going Deeper, You Can Discover a Different Kind of Truth | Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

(Hello! Make sure to turn on English subtitles if you need them!) The Plum Village France community is practicing the annual 90-day Rains Retreat. Alongside live teachings from the monastics, the community will also enjoy a weekly talk from our teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay). These talks have been carefully hand-picked from the 2012/2013 Rains Retreat, with the theme "Soulmate of the Buddha." In this seminal retreat, Thay shared his deepest insights and aspirations on studying, practicing, and renewing Buddhism. For the first time, these ten curated talks will be offered with crisp and clear English subtitles crafted by our elder monastic Dharma Teachers, so our whole community can enjoy the clearest transmission from Thầy. We are delighted to invite our YouTube community to join the Plum Village Sangha in enjoying these precious teachings. This Dharma Talk was originally recorded on 11th November 2012 in New Hamlet, Plum Village France, as part of the Winter Retreat 2012-2013. It is the second talk of that retreat. The Plum Village France Sangha watched it together again with updated subtitles on 23rd October 2024, as part of the 2024/2025 Rains Retreat. It is the second talk from this series.
