| In this special talk, given (in English!) to an audience of several hundred in the ballroom of Hanoi's largest hotel, Thay describes the importance of mindfulness in everyday life for finding peace and happiness. The stress and speed of modern life can overwhelm us - damage our bodies, our relations and our environment - but the centuries-old practices of Buddhism are still relevant for returning us to the present moment and the wonders it holds. And possibly saving our emperiled planet. Includes questions from the audience and beautiful chanting by the monks and nuns of Plum Village. |
