by Brother Phap LuuJune 23, 2022
This is a weekly class from Deer Park Monastery on the topic "The 40 Tenets of Plum Village" and it is based on a book called Plum Village Looks at Vulture's Peak written by Thich Nhat Hanh. The book describes the essential characteristics of Plum Village practice and teachings.

In this class, Brother Phap Luu discusses the 33rd Tenet: "Each generation of Buddhist practitioners has to resist the human tendency and need on the one hand to make the Buddha divine and on the other hand to try to find a principle to take the place of a self."
