The First Mindfulness training

1. A DBT self-help website brought me here; what on earth were they thinking?????

2. Not killing, not passively watching others killing, this is my nature, but to realise more of my nature, to be content and responsive, and ever alive within all moments, this is not my nature. Advice Buddhism for me offers is to act and live from this moment, the struggle is to stay engaged rather than to separate time and then work from one time towards another.

3. Nice ones, i like

4. Yeah this certainly isn't 'mindfulness' in the traditional tibetan or zen buddhist sense. But still, a 'thought-ful' video which is kinda the opposite of 'mindfulness' imo.

   Unless the point is to view and 'let go' of all those images of atrocity/tragedy, which is useful on one hand but on the other, a little sinister. Religion of course, always has a hand in these horrors.

5. Truth trickles down from the river into thoughts whose ideas embodied that form. Meditation is not self hypnosis but manifesting itself in the will, the body, the emotions, the mental chatter. The will to live must be strong.

6. @superfuzz How kind of you to attempt to explain what mindfulness is. I am sure you meant well. Continue your studies and have a wonderful day.

7. very nice, moving …and important

8. Hey Brother, Can you do the other four trainings in this same format. Many people would appreciate this and it would be distributed widely. Thanks.

9. love this video, and the music, thank you rikkifin,,,,,,,
   Peace to all beings,,

10. Thank you rikkifin for this beautiful way of putting together Thich Nhat Hanhn´s teachings, an engaging collage of pictures and Krisna Das´ voice. Now when I have come back a few times to this piece of work I would like to thank you because, it is very beneficial for me 😉

11. The idea was to put beautiful music to a beautiful message and beautiful images. If you attatch too much dogma to it mnnabi123, it may come across as wired. Thank you for viewing.

12. is this a good thing?

13. i feel like i'm submitting to subliminal messaging

14. This is quite beautiful and powerful.

    Greg

17. The language is Sanskrit. Very powerful indeed.

18. Really wonderful !!!!!

19. Moving mixture of images of of nature disrupted by man's greed and ignorance, blended with Krishna Das' chant and Thay's words. Nice presentation of this important mindfulness training.

20. As always, thank you guys for your kind comments. Metta, Rick

21. Excellent video!

22. Well, rikkifin, if this was created by you "Just playing around with some movie-making software", then perhaps true inspiration was standing at your elbow that day. 🙂

23. the truth is so simple. so sad. so beautiful.

24. Gracias, mil gracias por recordarmelo….

25. The words are from the First Midfulness Training which is Thich Nhat Hanh's version of the First Pecept. The Buddhist have 5 precepts, not to kill, not to steal, not to engage in sexual misconduct, not to lie, and not become intoxicated. The Five Mindfulness Trainings can be found at the Plum Village web site. Metta

26. This Ode is so gorgeous, tears running down my cheeks… I hear the name Hannumn in the vocals, is it that Blessed Thich Nhat Hanh quoted it in a teaching, or what? Does anyone here know?

27. I really like this video 🙂 5 Stars in my opinion.

28. So beautiful and inspiring…..thanks!
