Sister Phu Nghiem is one of three nuns in her immediate blood family and is passionate about bringing mindfulness to children.

3 december 2024 | 81 min

Brother Phap Luu, the eldest non-Vietnamese American monk in the Plum Village tradition, graduated from Dartmouth College and started meditating after going through a depression.

"What is more satisfying in life than helping people to transform their suffering? I mean, who cares about money and all this other stuff? The biggest happiness I get is if I can help myself, first of all, but others to transform suffering in a real way. My goodness, if we can do that with only a few people in our life, that's already worth a lifetime, right?"

458: Sister Boi Nghiem: The Hard Work Has Been Done

5 november 2024 | 87 min

Sister Boi Nghiem studied nursing before being ordained, and works regularly as a nun with the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and teen communities.

"I think I have a very healthy relationship with myself. Very healthy mental dialogue with myself. There were times I comforted myself. There were times I'm very firm with myself, tell myself to stop thinking that way. And they help. This is why I kept on sharing the importance of self-love. Because by the end of the day, it is the self-love that helped me, that saved me, that keeps me going. Because if I continue to criticize myself or have excessive negative thoughts, I cannot do much. It's very tiring. So I think that is the reason why that helped me not to fall into burnout.""

457: Sister Kinh Nghiem: Run Away Now

22 oktober 2024 | 57 min

Sister Kinh Nghiem, one of the funniest and most stylish nuns in the world, was ordained when she was only 14.

"Get rid of all of your ideas of what monastic practice is. You know, you come here, I mean, the practice is wonderful. And it's for you to come and see for yourself. But if you start getting ideas of what you expect monastic life to be like, you'll have a hard time. Because there's two sides to the coin, if you want to say it, you know? Sometimes the sisters have some expectation, and then you and yourself have some expectation. "Oh, I thought this was a Buddhist community. I think we're supposed to practice loving kindness and compassion and help, and everybody's so mean." You know, I mean, honestly, if you let go of the ideas and just focus on your bodhichitta, focus on what you want. And those other things of how people say things to you, which is sort of like, be a minor, it's not important."

Sister Mai Nghiem shares her practice of recognizing, embracing and transforming suffering. She also shares the teaching of the noble eight fold path, the four nutriments, including how different types of relationship are nutriments.

Sister's Mai Nghiem poem: ☀ Why i don t want to be call an ally, ☀ Ally From the moment i first heard the word, i got allergic to it...an ally allergy. Why? Well, the first thing is that in my french brain, "les alliés", as we call them, are the good Americans and British soldiers coming to save us from the evil Germans. Word of war, violence, and partisan conflicts. But deeper than that, my brother, if you call me an ally, i'll get offended. Why? 'cause i expect you, to have a higher expectation of me. I expect you to expect me to fully embrace who i am. I expect you to expect me to break open, I expect you to expect me to show my shit with no shame This is why i do not want to be an ally 'cause i don t wanna help I don t wanna be the "good intentionned white folk" feeling so bad about it all ...and yet so disconnected... For as long as i don't understand how ignorant i am There is no hope As long as i don't see myself as a slave merchant, a fanatic missionary or a murderer There is no hope As long as i refuse to understand how an entire society can see going on a "picnic" as being a pleasant family outing There is no hope As long as i shut my body and mind to the unspoken, unknown, unfelt yet raging pain of a human whipping an other human to death There is no hope For as long as i keep greed, money, power, fame and sex as the only gods in my life There is no hope No hope for any of the rainbow children on our beautiful Blue Mother I heard the Earth whisper one day, that "Fearlessness is not the absence of fear but the willingness to walk into it". This is what my white ancestors are asking me to do: "Walk right into the darkness, Right into the thick mist of whiteness And free us from our ignorance Heal our ancestral wounds.... Centuries of hatred, pride, discrimination, fear and violence. Who will hear our cries for help if not you? Who will quench our thirst for true amendment if not you? Who will deliver our souls from the chains of guilt if not you? For as long as true healing isn't taking place, Suffering will remain the world's pace". This is the voice of the ancestors begging for our courage and love, Echoing the Angel's song "It is the willingness to offer our best, claim responsibility for our worst and fold it all into the continuous moment to moment practice of simply being present to what is, that promises to deliver our future". That's why i don't wanna be an ally ...I wanna a be a healer

Rev. Zenju's Dharma Talk 2016-08-06

21 september 2016 | 101 min

2016 Mindfulness Retreat for People of Color Dear Friends, We are happy to continue sharing the Dharma talks from The Path of True Love: Healing Ourselves, our recent mindfulness retreat for People of Color.

Rev. Zenju Earthlyn Manuel begins her talk by reflecting on her early encounter with Zen as a person of color. Rev. Zenju refers to people of color meditation groups as "cultural sanctuaries" and responds to the perceptions of these spaces as "exclusionary" and counter to "oneness." Rev. Zenju also presents the teachings on store consciousness and the direct experience of transformation when seeds arise. Rev. Zenju also reads selections from her latest work, The Way of Tenderness: Awakening Through Race, Sexuality, and Gender. A few excerpts Rev. Zenju's talk: We as people of color have specific spiritual work to contend with, and the term "people of color" suggests that work rather than the idea of separation based on skin color for the sake of harming those who are white---that is not the intention. *** The civil rights movement...it wasn't about us being able to sit at the counter in Newberry's to eat hamburgers...it wasn't just that. It was about love, creating love and seeing people as people and creating love and to rid ourselves of a consciousness of hatred. That's what that movement was about. Of course, we took some of the gifts that came out of that movement, the civil rights movement, but at the same time, it was still misunderstood that it was for one particular group of people when it was for the entire humanity. *** My embodiment was exactly where the awakening was going to happen. Where else was it going to happen? It wasn't going to drop from the sky. I've been given a gift about who I am, all that I have experienced so that I can awaken to something much larger than that, much further than that---and still have that...When I began to see this is my gateway...I felt I needed to share with people that we already have what we need to head toward enlightenment or to engage it, to engage oneness. I can engage oneness because I am here, the oneness that is right here...When I began to see this embodiment was the gateway to boundlessness, I began to walk it differently--not where it was something that burdened me, but something that could be used... --Rev. Zenju Earthlyn Manuel Let us now stop, listen deeply and contemplate these teachings and sharings to cultivate our individual and collective healing and awakening. To stay connected with Rev. Zenju, visit http://zenju.org/.

Being a Zen Master, Observing Your Emotions

29 november 2013 | 34 min

Dear friends,

This week, we take a break from Thich Nhat Hanh's talks to bring you another great teacher, the Venerable of Deer Park Monastery, Thich Phuoc Tinh. Here in California, it's fall and the Venerable begins by sharing a folk song in Vietnamese and French about autumn leaves falling. He shares that we can choose the way that we are in touch with the things inside of us and around us. The emotions and mental formations that arise in our heads are like the seasons of the year, rising and falling. As practitioners, we can become observers, whether of the changing leaves of fall or changing feelings in our hearts, rather than being defined or overwhelmed by them. We are not these emotions, we are the energy of mindfulness that peacefully watches them float by on the stream of our lives.

We're grateful to have Sister Mat Nghiem translate the Venerable's talk into English for us. Our monastic brothers and sisters do so much at Deer Park Monastery to create a peaceful refuge for us where we can share from our heart and listen deeply to their teachings. Right now, the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation is urgently raising funds to build new living quarters for the nuns. Currently, the sisters' living quarters are not winterized and unsafe to the point that some sisters are living outside in tents. The foundation has raised only $400,000 of the $1.7 million needed to build environmentally-sensitive straw-bale buildings for the nuns and a new hut for Thay. Over 40% of the estimated cost is for basic infrastructure needed even before building the nunnery.

If you are able to donate this holiday season, please go to deerparknunnery.org. Even the smallest amount will help them to have enough funds to break ground this winter. The Dharmacast team is made completely of volunteers and in place of asking for donations for the podcast, this holiday season please consider donating so that the Deer Park sisters have a warm and safe place to lay their heads. For more information and to help, go to deerparknunnery.org.

The Dharmacast team wishes you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and holiday season. We are always here for you at dpcast.net, on Facebook, iTunes and Twitter. Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.

Moment by Moment: A 90-day journey in the landscape of Buddhist Teachings & Practices

This winter a group of Monastic Dharma Teachers here at Deer Park will offer a course based in the Buddhas Teaching on the Four Noble Truths and Noble Eightfold Path.

Nov 27, 2011 This winter's course - Moment by Moment: will be an opportunity to enjoy walking meditation through some of the vistas of central Buddhist teachings and practices. If we look deeply at the Buddhist Dharma, we see concentric circles- at the very heart of the circles lies the Four Noble Truths. All of the foundational teachings and practices spring from this source. Out of the Four Noble Truths emerge the Noble Eightfold Path, the Buddha's guidance for realizing transformation in body, speech and mind at a fundamental level. From the various steps of the Noble Eightfold Path spring a multitude of sutras, practices and commentaries.

During this course, we will enjoy sharings on each of the Truths and the steps of the path; we will be offered concrete practices to apply at home and we will have suggested readings and reflections, as appropriate. These will be available on the Deer Park Monastery website.

The three month winter retreat is a time of focused attention and deep looking. It is also a time of simplifying, of settling... a time of recognizing how we use our energy in our daily life. Most of all it is a time of allowing ourselves to settle- to settle into our experience of the moment.

Making the commitment to attend this class- even knowing all of the challenges- is one way to bring that element of focused intention into our lives- even if we cannot spend ninety days in a practice center.

When:

Sunday afternoon at 3 pm, weekly

first session: November 27, last session: February 19

Where: in the Ocean of Peace Meditation Hall, Deer Park Monastery

or online Deer Park Dharma Cast: http://deerpark.libsyn.com/

How long: each session will be one hour
