Brother Phap Luu reads from Thich Nhat Hanh’s diary Fragrant Palm Leaves. (Full dharma talk)
In this teaching story a person has a dream and the dream is fulfilled.
But then the dream turns from something pleasant into a deep suffering.
Brother Phap Luu comments on the story and its meaning for us and for our choices in life.
How we at the same time are free to choose what we do and are not free to choose what we do.
And how a community can become a community of resistance, where people have power with each other and life is not decided from authorities above us or outside of us, but our inner personal authority in cooperation with the authorities that each person represents.
