Thay Thich Nhat Hanh offers a special Dharma Talk to the 2009 Parliament of World Religions being held in Melbourne Australia. This very special and powerful talk, transmitted by video to hundereds of people in Australia, opens the doors of practice available through the Five Mindfulness Trainings. The Five Mindfulness Trainings offer a concrete path of practice that can lead to a collective awakening, that can transforming our hatred, fear and greed, in turn bringing healing to ourselves and our planet, solving the problems of climate change, terrorism, and poverty at their root.

I love, honor, and cherish you, Thay. Your precious face and sweet voice bring peace to my troubled mind. Your wisdom runs deep and wide like the ocean, cultivated over a lifetime of dedication and practice. It is truly the widsdom of a Buddha, and your message on the Five Mindfulness Trainings needs to be broadcast across the planet in to every heart and mind. This planet as a living ecosystem is being assaulted due to thoughtlessness. (I especially have compassion for the innocent animals who are suffering at human hands.) Your vision of a collective awakening is an awesome one. For it to be realized, each of us needs to take responsibility to share your message. I implore readers here to take up the cause. Direct your family and friends to the Plum Village website to view his many video recordings and see the community and lifestyle that is possible. Like John Lennon conjectured, "Imagine!" What a world it could be! Happiness is possible for all living things.
