Listen to His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama discuss happiness with The Most Reverend Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori, the 26th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church; Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth; and George Washington University Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a world-renowned scholar on Islam. Krista Tippett, host and producer of the award-winning public radio program "Being" (formerly titled "Speaking of Faith"), will moderate.

Professor Bloom ends with a review of one of the most interesting research topics in "positive psychology," happiness. What makes us happy? How does happiness vary across person and culture?

In this short teaching video from the Deer Park Monastery (February, 2004), Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) guides us on how to take care of emotions when they come up. Every time a painful feeling is born, we go home and take good care of our feelings with the practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness here is like a mother coming to hold and embrace the pain that is crying out to us. This is the practice of love: telling our painful emotions, "Darling I know you suffer. That is why I am here for you." Thay teaches us four practical steps to help us: 1. Recognize our pain 2. Embrace the pain 3. Bring Relief 4. Touch Insight and transformation ------- To find out more about this process, check out Thay's book "The Path of Emancipation" ➛ https://www.parallax.org/product/the-path-of-emancipation/ ------- Find more similar short teachings on the FREE Plum Village app https://plumvillage.app/​ Enjoy! 🙏 Help us caption and translate this video: https://web.plumvillage.app/subs?yt=I3SDyQNnjxU #ThichNhatHanh​ #mindfulness​ #PlumVillageApp
