The Heart Of Buddha's Teaching

Product Information

Plum Village is your home, too. Please help us take care of it and continue Thich Nhat Hanh’s dream – for all of us and generations to come. To face your suffering, touch deeply both the good and bad parts of life. It’s about experiencing everything that happens to you indiscriminately. Knowing that both the positive and negative things pass with time. Mindfulness allows us to appreciate what we already have. When people become older or they have bad health, they always deeply miss being young and healthy. Yet young and healthy people usually never appreciate or even notice what they do have. Mindfulness can change this. For example, by giving your full attention to your breathing for a few moments, you can feel how good it feels to breath into your lungs. Someone who has breathing problems would pay anything to feel this.

He is simply stating the fact that nothing in life is ultimately satisfying. We all suffer through our health, relationships, accidents, etc. And even when things are going good, we still worry how they could go wrong. Yet suffering is useful because it’s allows Buddha to speak to our hearts. He was a human and suffered too. 4. Look deeply to find the causes of your suffering (The Second Noble Truth) The Buddha often said his teachings are like a finger pointing at the moon. All the books and lectures are meant to point us in the right direction, but at some point we are supposed to stop thinking about them. Nhat Hanh says it is like following a map to get to Paris. Once you arrive, you fold up the map and enjoy yourself.
