This is a Noble Moment | Dharma Talk by br Phap Dung, 2020 03 29

Br Phap Dung talks about how, even in our current world environment, the present moment can be a noble moment, a moment for us to reflect.  Suffering is a Noble Truth, if we learn to listen to what is happening to us, to really touch our our suffering, we can touch something very deep. This is why this moment can be considered noble.  With people's movement restricted in many parts of the world,  we have to find our inner island and build our stability through breathing and stopping. In the face of great uncertainty, we do not know what may happen next, but we do know that being stable will help. Dwelling in the present moment, with a clear mind we can ask "What is happening?" and "Why is this happening?" in our search for the causes and conditions of our current circumstance. Br Phap Dung recommends meditating on impermanence as a training to see our own fragility and the vulnerability of the earth. Impermanence also allows change to be possible, and makes life possible. The present moment contains both suffering and nobleness. Br Phap Dung reads a text from our teacher's book "Love Letters to the Earth" and talks about cultivating trust in ourselves. Br Phap Dung also talks about viewing the world through the framework of interbeing and to see that we are connected on a planetary scale, what we do to the planet, we do to ourselves. Concretely, we can use the present moment to be aware of how we are dependent on others for our vegetables, toilet paper and masks etc. Finally Br Phap Dung sends a message to all those currently in confinement and asks that you find a rhythm or schedule for each day, to take care of yourselves, nourish yourselves daily with play, and guard your senses particularly with respect to the news and media. Ask yourselves, what am I nourishing in myself each day? He asks us to keep our minds focused on love, kindness and compassion as a kind of prayer for the world. *correction: Br. Phap Dung mentions noble as 'Brahman' in sanskrit which is incorrect. It should be 'Aryan', which the Buddha also used to refer to the Noble Truths.  You can support us by: donating: https://plumvillage.org/support helping to caption & translate: https://amara.org/en/profiles/videos/... or http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_p...
