The Seed of Fear in Us | Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh | #mindfulness

  • Not Synced
    We know that...
  • Not Synced
    fear is in us,
  • Not Synced
    in the form of a seed.
  • Not Synced
    And every time that seed is
  • Not Synced
    watered,
  • Not Synced
    maybe it's sound,
  • Not Synced
    maybe it's sight,
  • Not Synced
    anything can touch...
  • Not Synced
    that kind of seed in us,
  • Not Synced
    and then the energy of fear
    will overwhelm us.
  • Not Synced
    And that seed of fear may have been
    transmitted to us by our parents
  • Not Synced
    when we were still a child.
  • Not Synced
    Because they themselves may live in fear.
  • Not Synced
    Our parents love us, they didn't want to...
  • Not Synced
    transmit that...
  • Not Synced
    seed of fear to us.
  • Not Synced
    But they transmit it anyway.
  • Not Synced
    So now we are the victim of transmission,
    and we would like to...
  • Not Synced
    end it
  • Not Synced
    so that we won't transmit
    the seed of fear to our children,
  • Not Synced
    to our disciples, and so on.
  • Not Synced
    The first thing that we should know,
  • Not Synced
    that although fear is in us,...
  • Not Synced
    The seed of fear is in us,
  • Not Synced
    but the opposite of fear is also in us.
  • Not Synced
    The seed of non-fear,
  • Not Synced
    the seed of freedom,
  • Not Synced
    (or) the seed of understanding,
    is also in us.
  • Not Synced
    But no one has helped us
    to identify that seed
  • Not Synced
    and to practice watering that seed.
  • Not Synced
    That is why....
  • Not Synced
    the opposite of fear in us
    has not been...
  • Not Synced
    manifested in our daily life.
  • Not Synced
    And with fear in us,
    we do not have confidence
  • Not Synced
    in our own ability to love
  • Not Synced
    and to serve.
  • Not Synced
    And therefore, we have
    to learn ways in order to...
  • Not Synced
    not only to diminish that fear,
  • Not Synced
    but to cultivate...
  • Not Synced
    the energy of non-fear,
  • Not Synced
    the energy of confidence,
  • Not Synced
    the energy of solidity,
  • Not Synced
    in order for our love to be substantial.
  • Not Synced
    And mindfulness helps you
    to touch the elements of solidity
  • Not Synced
    that are available
    in you and around you.
  • Not Synced
    And you don't have to fight your fear.
  • Not Synced
    You embrace your fear only.
