If you have time to watch this two-hour documentary preceded by an enlightening interview of Thich Nhat Hahn, I highly recommend it. It reminded me of my essay on forgiveness. Thich Nhat Hahn’s teachings apply to all concepts – from conflicts between siblings, to the deepest darkest crimes of humanity. This documentary illustrates that beautifully. Amazing and compelling.

I watched this and enjoyed it immensely. I shared it with a graduate professor at RU who specializes in Counselor Education. He also enjoyed it, and said he had seen the Dhamma Brothers documentary in the past, but watching it again was worthwhile.
I really enjoyed listening to Thich Nhat Hahn (TNH) speak, as I’ve never had the opportunity to do so. I wasn’t impressed with Oprah’s interview style; nonetheless, TNH is most definitely what I would call a Bodhisattva. He exudes peacefulness.
One of the reasons I enjoy walking to work every day is because it gives me a chance to focus on walking meditation. When I do that, I feel like I’m able to be more mindful throughout the day, regardless of what I’m tackling. This is not always an easy thing to do, but, as TNH says, the more you practice, the easier it gets.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

You’re welcome…I love Thich Nhat Hahn – I have read a few of his books and use them for “reference” whenever I need a little inspiration…
