True Home | Sr. Tuc Nghiem & Br. Phap Dung
In this insightful Dharma talk, Sr. Tuc Nghiem and Br. Phap Dung share the importance of coming home to oneself through the practice of mindfulness and meditation. Drawing on personal experiences and teachings from Thich Nhat Hanh, the speaker explores the concept of home not just as a physical space but as a state of being, where we are present, grounded, and peaceful. The talk emphasizes the need for emotional clarity and personal responsibility, inviting practitioners to clear out the “boxes” of unnecessary attachments, fears, and distractions in their minds. Through stories, metaphors, and deep reflections, the speaker encourages the Sangha to embrace the present moment, cherish relationships, and create inner peace. The session includes guidance on using mindful walking and breathing to return to one's true home, offering a path toward healing and joy.
