Plum Village App Introduction | Brother Phap Luu

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    We just want people to be happy and free,
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    so that is the essence of the app.
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    (Music)
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    Thay had a vision
    for how we could practice
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    wherever we are,
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    and that starts just with
    our mindful breathing, our mindful step.
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    But he also felt that we could use,
    make good use of technology
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    to be able to share
    the practice with people
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    on their mobile phone
    or on a watch or whatever it is.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    And so the Plum Village app
    is the realization of that vision,
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    of having Plum Village wherever we go
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    that means we have freedom.
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    So whenever you're feeling a bit down or
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    even when you're happy and joyful and
    you want to nourish the good conditions
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    for your joy for your freedom
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    you can stop and just take out your phone
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    and have the Plum Village app there,
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    ready for you to enjoy
    a short guided meditation
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    or maybe eating meditation
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    you can listen to tangerine meditation
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    or pebble meditation
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    to cultivate the freshness
    and solidity and freedom.
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    So we know that life is very busy
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    there's a lot of things
    pulling on our attention
  • 1:25 - 1:30
    and this is a skillful way
    of using our attention
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    for our own benefit
    and our own nourishment.
  • 1:37 - 1:39
