How to Bring Peace to Our Body | Thich Nhat Hanh (short teaching)

  • 0:02 - 0:05
    Sitting and listening
    to someone speaking is a pleasure.
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    You don't need to learn anything
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    you don't need to pass an exam,
    to get a diploma
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    you just sit there and
    enjoy breathing in and out
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    and listen to someone
    speaking about peace.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    It is not our intention
    to give you ideas about peace.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    You have got plenty of ideas about peace.
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Our intention is to be peace,
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    right in the here and the now,
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    to be peace in the here and the now
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    not to talk about peace
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    and this is possible
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    because peace should be there
    in your body,
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    in your feelings,
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    in your perceptions,
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    in your consciousness.
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    You have your body,
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    your body may not be in peace
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    and you learn how
    to bring peace to our body
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    right in the here, right in the now.
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    We know that our body suffers
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    there is a tension,
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    there is stress,
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    there is presure,
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    there is a pain within our body.
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    We have worked our body too hard.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    Our body has been exposed
    to a lot of pressure.
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    We don't feel good within our body
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    there is a conflict,
    there are many conflicts within our body.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    The way we handle our body
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    has made our body suffer so much
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    there is no real peace in our body.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    So what to do
    in order to bring peace to our body?
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    This is what we try to do
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    and we don't need a lot of time to do it.
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    To allow your body to rest,
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    to allow your body to have a chance
    to renew itself, to heal itself
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    that is something possible
  • 2:35 - 2:36
    you can do it today.
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    And after one or two hours
    we feel much better.
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    We are not talking about peace
    to our body,
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    we are bringing peace to it.
