Ram Dass interviews Thich Nhat Hanh at State of the Wold forum. Thich Nhat Hanh talks about using mindfulness to take tender loving care of our anger. Being aware and mindful of our breathing helps us to take good care of our emotions. Our anger is like a flower that needs the sunshine of our mindfulness. Our western culture focuses mostly on the intellect, but mindfulness is more important. The insight of impermanence should be understood in our daily life. Everything is impermanent and is made of everything else.
Gratitude from my heart. I love you Thay!

Dear Thay, I'm sending all my best and heartfelt wishes to you. Even the sound of your voice is very soothing to me, although I try not to be attached too much to your finger pointing to the moon.
Great teacher in mindfulness
Simple and practical
Ram Dass is a great person just as great as Thich Nhat Hanh. I have a question: My mother told me today that it is my fault that my whole family avoids me. How do I deal with this pain and how do I respond to her?
thank you for sharing….
Well spoken,
Anger is not us, nor are we anger– Anger is related to hatred and one off the five hindrances to progress on the eightfold path. Anger is fire in the brain–. Anger is overcome by non anger.
Conceptually, the elements make up the flower, but without a plan how to organize these, it could be anything– And the plan has to be there before the actual flower is created and continues to exist at least as long as the flower exists, and therefore has some permanence —
happiness is impermanent, being attached to it creates more suffering, if its not there, one is longing for it, once its there, its the fear, that its ending again, once its gone its the grief having lost happiness dharma is not about gaining happiness.
Dharma is about overcoming suffering once and for all.
Thank you

I love Thay!
These videos bring me closer to the one. Thank you very deeply for all of it.
I had seen the first 9 minutes or so but had never been able to find the rest of the interview. Thanks so much for uploading it! Two of my favorite teachers.
