This Moment, Only Once

The audio archives contained here will continue to grow and change moving forward. In addition to sharing Thich Nhat Hanh talks from the archives, we will also share current talks from senior dharma teachers from our community. This rich and lively talk was given in the Assembly of Stars Hall in Lower Hamlet, Plum Village, on Thursday May 21, 2015, as part of the community's Spring Retreat.

Thay Phap Hai

Brother Phap Hai (Brother Dharma Ocean) offers some challenging questions to help us energize and focus our practice and truly arrive in ourselves in the present moment.

What is the "seed sound" of the Plum Village practice "I have arrived, I am home"? What is the difference between knowledge and insight? What is the original meaning of the word "Path" in Buddhism? Have you actually ever "seen" the Dharma? If you saw the Buddha today, what would you ask?
