What is Buddhist Meditation | Thich Nhat Hanh | Plum Village #Shorts

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Buddhist meditation is...
  • 0:02 - 0:08
    the practice of looking deeply
    into the nature of reality.
  • 0:08 - 0:16
    Because if we don't have enough concentration
    and mindfulness, we cannot look deeply.
  • 0:16 - 0:20
    We can be deceived by what we see
    and by what we hear.
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    It's like science.
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    Science is...
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    is also an attempt to look more deeply.
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    You look at the sky and you see a star.
  • 0:31 - 0:36
    You believe very strongly that the star is there.
  • 0:36 - 0:44
    But it may be that the star has already
    disappeared 1,000 years of light ago.
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    And that is why you can be deceived
    by what you see and what you hear.
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    And science helps us to be more careful.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    And Buddhism does the same.
