I have studied and practiced Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for many years. I have traveled with him throughout Vietnam and have been in residence in Plum Village as a member of his Order of Interbeing. I stand by my original comment.

You remind me of the fact that when John Main (the founder of Centering Prayer) went to study at a Buddhist monastery in Indonesia during World War II, he was told by the head monk that he was a Christian (even though Main did not believe himself to be Christian the the time), and because he was Christian, he would have to study Buddhism as a Christian. He did so, and later brought Buddhist meditation to his Benedictine Abbey in Montreal. Why should it not be politically correct to connect Christian belief and Buddhism, yet politically correct for others to exclude the beliefs of Christians? Thich Nhat Hanh himself connected the two in his book "Jesus and the Buddha as Brothers". Hi Joseph,

That said, Thich Nhat Hahn's practice has nothing to do with believing in a higher being and everything to do with recognizing and embracing your humanity and the humanity of those around you. Spirituality resides within, it does not require giving over to anyone or anything but yourself.

I really enjoyed this talk which defined many key points worth rememmbering for 2010. Thank you! In the talk, Thay mentioned a sheet that was passed out to the audience of the talk and it seemed like that could be very helpful. Is it available for download anyplace? Peace Hello.
