[Free Online Teaching with Thich Nhat Hanh] Exploring How Presence Transforms Relationships

Body and Mind Are One
An Invitation to Come Home to the Miracle That Is Your Life

Have you ever attended a teaching session or dharma talk, not knowing what to expect—and then found yourself so deeply supported, instructed, and illuminated that it changed you forever?

Those of us lucky enough to learn with Thich Nhat Hanh so often say: What a rare and exceptional teacher.

This soft-spoken Zen master radiates a sense of freedom and lovingkindness that is a dharma transmission in itself. Yet his clarity of intellect also stands out: Thay, as his students call him, has a way of bringing into sharp focus the most subtle revelations of Buddhism—interbeing, emptiness, samadhi, the seeds of store consciousness, and more—all in a way that just “clicks.”

And the practices that he offers are refreshing and unique: simple breathing-based “mantras” that allow us to actually experience many profound concepts immediately and directly, on a felt level.
