Our dharma talk today was offered by Thay Phap Hoi, an elder in our community. At the request of the sangha, he traveled to Vietnam to participate in the memorial services for Thich Nhat Hanh. He shares about his trip, participating in the memorial, and being in Vietnam again. The talk was originally given in Vietnamese and this is the English translation provided by Brother Minh Dia.

The Path of a Bodhisattva

Dharma from Deer Park Monastery, a meditation practice center in the tradition of the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.  At Deer Park, the resident monks, nuns and lay sangha practice engaged Buddhism and mindfulness in everyday life for the nourishment and development of our spiritual and mental health. Each week, we post a selection of activities of the Deer Park Sangha so that others may share in the realization of awareness and freedom.  Deer Park is located in the mountains near Escondido, California and hosts regular Days of Mindfulness open to the public on Sundays beginning at 8:30 a.m. To learn more, visit www.deerparkmonastery.org
