The Three Jewels | TWOII podcast | Episode 89

In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino look at one of the foundational teachings of Buddhism: the Three Jewels - the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The Buddha is the teacher who, through his own direct experience, found the path to liberation from suffering. The Dharma refers to the teachings and practices that lead to awakening. The Sangha is the community that supports and transmits the Dharma. Their conversation emphasizes the Sangha’s importance as the community that keeps the Buddha's teachings alive and relevant; the need for communities rooted in the Dharma, with clear practices and guidelines to provide refuge and support spiritual transformation; and more. As usual, the hosts provide examples from their own experiences, as well as stories by or involving Thich Nhat Hanh. ------ 🔔 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://link.plumvillage.app/Fnke 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 Interbeing ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbeing Donate to support Plum Village's reconstruction ➛ https://plumvillage.org/donate Sister Chan Khong ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/sister-chan-khong Sister Chan Duc ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/sr-chan-duc Fragrant Palm Leaves: Journals 1962-1966 ➛ https://plumvillage.org/books/1998-neo-ve-cua-y-fragrant-palm-leaves Nalanda mahavihara ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda_mahavihara Buddhahood ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhahood Dharma Talks: ‘The Five Skandhas of Grasping and Non-Self​’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/the-five-skandhas-of-grasping-and-non-self%E2%80%8B-dharma-talk-by-br-phap-lai-2018-06-08 Old Path White Clouds ➛ https://plumvillage.org/books/old-path-white-clouds-2 ‘The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/mindfulness/the-14-mindfulness-trainings Wake Up Network ➛ https://plumvillage.org/community/wake-up-young-practitioners Vinaya ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinaya The Hermit and the Well ➛ https://plumvillage.org/books/hermit-and-the-well
