The Art of Transmission | TWOII podcast | Episode 93

In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino explore the art of transmission in Buddhism: wisdom and teachings being passed down over time, from teacher to student. The hosts touch on the profound and nuanced ways in which Buddhist teachings and insights are passed down through generations, with the goal of cultivating understanding, compassion, and liberation; the role of nature as a powerful transmitter of wisdom; the significance of rituals and ceremonies in honoring this transmission; and more. Brother Phap Huu emphasizes the importance of deep listening, humility, and direct experience in the transmission process, and how true transmission goes beyond the imparting of knowledge, to a requirement that both teacher and student be in a state of non-self and openness to receive the teachings. ------- 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------ The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ ------ 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the (completely free) Plum Village App ➛ https://shorturl.at/NNUxe and other streaming services. ------ Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/br-phap-huu 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛ https://www.instagram.com/joconfino/?hl=en 🎙️ Live show: The Way Out Is In podcast with special guest Ocean Vuong ➛ https://tickets.plumvillage.uk/events/zen/1682673 Interbeing ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbeing Album: A Cloud Never Dies ➛ https://plumvillage.org/album-a-cloud-never-dies Dharma Talk: ‘The Five Powers: Faith, Diligence, Mindfulness, Concentration, Insight - Brother Phap Huu’ ➛ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4PGrMjea7A Dharma Talks: ‘Redefining the Four Noble Truths’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/redefining-the-four-noble-truths Thich Nhat Hanh: Redefining the Four Noble Truths ➛ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eARDko51Xdw ‘The Four Dharma Seals of Plum Village’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/articles/the-four-dharma-seals-of-plum-village The Way Out Is In: ‘Feel It to Heal It: The Dharma of Music (Episode #79)’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/podcast/feel-it-to-heal-it-the-dharma-of-music-episode-79 Dharma Talks: ‘Redefining the Four Noble Truths’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/redefining-the-four-noble-truths
