I am so excited to share wisdom from the great Zen Buddhism monk and master Thich Nhat Hanh (lovingly called Thay, or teacher)! Born in 1926, his life has been a reflection of loving-kindness and mindful living. In preparing for this talk, I watched several YouTube videos he’s shared and used my notes to communicate some of the wisdom I found most potent. I hope you will be inspired to practice an exercise or two, and/or investigate his teachings further—they are transformational! Namasté. //Quick notes: Near the end of the recording, I noticed the time and rushed a little haha About collective consciousness, Thay teaches that an environment or fear or anger are forms of “nutrients” that we take in. So he encourages seeking peaceful places and communities to cultivate more love and peace. Second note: Just after that, I said that “humans don’t die,” and while that was a quote I’d heard from Thay, I meant to say, “The Being does not die” which is more true to me. Though these forms pass away, what we truly are cannot die because it is Unborn. Namasté. // SelenaSage.com // email: selena@selenasage.com // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author
