[8:35] Dear beloved community,
we are joining our sangha in Vietnam,
[8:42] at Từ hiếu temple in Huế
[8:45] Where venerables have gathered from
around Vietnam
[8:50] To pay their respects
to our beloved teacher
[8:56] So these are the opening chants,
[8:58] for today's ceremony of placing
thầy's body in the coffin.
[9:07] We are seeing the full moon
meditation hall at Từ Hiếu temple,
[9:14] The temple where thầy first became a monk
at the age of 16.
[9:21] And outside we can see the canopies,
[9:25] where many other
monastics have gathered
[9:27] because there's not enough
space in the hall.
[9:32] And many of the venerables
that we can see
[9:36] have been thầy's friends for a long time.
[9:42] And at home,
[9:44] we are invited to join our palms
if we feel comfortable to do so.
[9:48] To share in this collective energy
of mindfulness and concentration.
[10:12] We are now hearing the heart sutra
being chanted in Vietnamese.
[10:53] You can see the different traditions
wear different robes.
[11:00] There are many schools
of Buddhism in Vietnam,
[11:02] and many of them are represented here
in today's ceremony.
[11:46] So now we are approaching
the Deep Listening hut
[11:52] which is thầy's hut in Huế
where he has been residing.
[11:58] And we will be inviting thầy's body
[12:01] to come from his hut
called the Deep Listening hut
[12:06] and to come, to be lying in wake
in the full moon meditation hall.
[12:16] Here is the procession to thầy's hut.
[12:39] And this is where thầy has been
since he returned to Vietnam.
[12:48] And this is where he has been enjoying
watching the seasons.
[12:54] Enjoying being at home in his homeland.
[13:41] Those monastics
[13:44] wearing brown are more closely associated
with the Plum Village tradition.
[14:05] Preparing everyone
to receive the procession.
[14:18] Thầy's monastic disciples
are surrounding him in this moment.
[14:24] You can see br. Pháp Lâm, br. Pháp Hương,
[14:29] and many of thầy's
young monastic disciples in Vietnam,
[14:34] holding vigil around thầy's body,
[14:39] as thầy's body is formally invited
to move to the full moon meditation hall.
[16:08] This chanting invitation is a prayer,
[16:14] for thầy's beautiful continuation.
[16:19] So we can see the venerables
in the golden robes and...
[16:24] our own Plum Village community
with brown, thầy Trung Hải.
[16:31] And we can hear the voice of thầy Pháp Niệm,
[16:34] as we move thầy's body.
[17:08] So the venerables
having invited thầy's body
[17:11] to move towards
the full moon meditation hall
[17:15] they will lead the procession.
[17:43] So this is chanting the name of
Avalokiteshvara,
[17:46] the Bodhisattva of Great compassion.
[17:50] If you would like you can join in
the chanting from home
[18:21] thầy Pháp Ứng our monastic here at the front
from Plum Village and Holland.
[18:29] One of our most senior monastic
disciples of thầy.
[19:20] So many of the brothers
holding thầy here,
[19:23] have been his attendants
over the last years,
[19:27] caring for thầy, day and night.
[19:36] Thầy Pháp Tánh
another Plum Village monastic there.
[20:47] And in the buddhist tradition
we hold the body high out of respect,
[20:53] the head is always
the most sacred part of our body
[21:05] The chant of compassion
rising up from the nuns community
[21:10] gathered outside the hall.
[21:15] Many hundreds of monastics,
[21:19] And again the Plum Village tradition
we can see in brown on the left,
[21:22] many of our sisters who have trained
in our monasteries around the world.
[21:50] Thầy Pháp Ứng at the front here
and thầy Pháp Lâm on the right.
[21:55] Thầy Pháp Hương also on the left
many of our beloved brothers.
[22:02] Thầy Trung Hải also at the front here.
[22:16] We can see many visiting nuns in grey.
[22:51] We are very grateful that despite all
the covid restrictions,
[22:54] the government
is allowing our community to gather,
[22:58] to pay our respects to our teacher
in such an intimate way.
[23:02] And we know many of us
wish we can be there,
[23:04] and what an honor for those members
of our community,
[23:07] who can be present in this moment
[23:10] to witness our beloved teacher
on his journey.
[23:31] And here we come thầy entering
the full moon meditation hall,
[23:38] where he will lie in wake.
[23:40] Sư cô Chân Không,
[23:42] is being held by two sisters,
we can see her just behind thầy here,
[23:46] our beloved elder sister, Ni Trưởng
[23:49] the eldest sister in our community,
[23:51] who has supported our beloved teacher
for so many decades.
[23:56] So wonderful that she can be here,
[23:58] to accompany thầy having been
his greatest support for so long.
[24:04] And what an honor that she can be here,
[24:08] until thầy took his last breath.
[24:29] We can see thầy's calligraphy on the wall,
that calligraphy read:
[24:34] "Strolling in the Ultimate"
[24:37] A beautiful phrase, poetic phrase,
[24:42] enjoying space outside of space,
time outside of time.
[24:46] And they have selected it
to be one of the calligraphies,
[24:51] for this ceremony.
[24:58] Here we can see sister Chân Không
to the left of the screen.
[25:04] And the Plum Village monastics
gathering close to our teacher.
[25:18] So we can see the brown of thầy's,
[25:21] our community, thầy's students
all in the middle here.
[25:32] and thầy's attendants
laying thầy to rest.
[25:48] So as a sign of respect the community
is kneeling up.
[26:20] And on the left of the screen here
this is thầy's spiritual cousin teacher
[26:24] from the same generation,
[26:27] guiding the movement.
[26:53] Thầy's body lifted three times
as a kind of prostration,
[26:58] and now moving over
to be placed in the coffin.
[27:29] We invoke your name Avalokiteshvara,
[27:33] the Bodhisattva of Great compassion.
[27:46] These are visiting monastics from other traditions
that have come to pay their respects.
[28:01] The time after the passing of a great teacher
is considered a very sacred and holy time,
[28:08] a very special moment.
[28:45] So thầy's body has now been placed
in the coffin,
[28:50] in the casket.
[28:56] To formally lie in wake for the coming days
[29:02] so that people from around Vietnam
will also have an opportunity to come and
[29:07] pay their respects.
[29:24] So thầy's own monastic disciples now
touching the earth.
[29:42] Many of thầy's lay disciples from provinces
all over Vietnam,
[29:47] have been traveling through the night
to be able to arrive in time
[29:52] to witness the ceremony,
[29:55] to pay their respects.
[30:08] So the coffin is filled
with the fragrant sandalwood earth.
[30:35] How wonderful that so many can gather,
[30:38] this is a real blessing,
[30:40] for all of us and for thầy.
[30:42] And as thầy said when he first returned
to Vietnam in 2005,
[30:46] nothing is more important than
brotherhood and sisterhood and so
[30:51] for the buddhist community
to be able to gather and come together,
[30:56] for thầy's own disciples to gather
and come together,
[30:59] even in the pandemic,
what a blessing for us all.
[31:07] We're seeing now some visiting venerables
from different traditions.
[31:29] This is sandalwood
being placed on top of the body
[31:34] sandalwood always the most sacred
fragrance and the symbol
[31:38] of incense in buddhist monasteries.
[32:00] Many of the lay friends who have traveled
are business people
[32:03] in the corporate world
from Vietnam,
[32:06] who are wonderful sangha builders
[32:09] practicing thầy's Dharma doors
and mindfulness in Vietnam.
[32:20] So we will now begin a period of chanting.
[32:40] These are known as mantras or dharanis,
[32:44] a very sacred kind of prayer.
[34:06] Here in Plum Village
we are touching the earth
[34:09] to honor this moment.
[34:12] You may like to join your palms
and to follow your breathing.
[34:48] So thầy's disciples again in brown
and the venerables
[34:53] from other traditions
also coming close to pay their respects.
[35:06] Placing the lid on the coffin,
[35:10] and we're hearing the voice
of thầy Pháp Niệm,
[35:13] Dear respected thầy,
dear community (brother Pháp Hữu speaking)
[35:17] (Brother Minh Hy speaking in Vietnamese)
[35:22] At the root temple they have now completed
the ceremony of placing thầy's body into the casket
[35:28] So this marks the completion of the ceremony
of placing thầy's body in the casket.
[35:39] And the venerables
they will take a short break,
[35:42] and then they will come back to,
do chanting
[35:51] There will be a short break in the ceremony,
[35:56] And the opportunity for people to pay their respects to the coffin
[35:59] and then the community in Vietnam
will gather in due course
[36:03] for further chanting.
[36:06] and then we shall come back to join the
chanting session
[36:11] and those who would like to stay in this
meditation hall, we can remain in sitting meditation.
[36:22] So there will be a short break and if
you like can,
[36:25] here is thầy Pháp Niệm in front of the screen
followed by thầy Pháp Ứng,
[36:28] Two of thầy's most senior and beloved
disciples in our community,
[36:33] with the venerables, discussing with the
venerable some details, so they will gather
[36:37] after a short break for more chanting,
[36:39] so you may like to leave
the live stream open.
[36:44] And we will continue the ceremony
in due course.
[36:48] Thank you for having joined us
for this very sacred moment.
[36:53] Together we are breathing
as one spiritual family.
[36:58] We are together
as a beloved community.
[37:03] and...
[37:06] You can feel in our gratitude for thầy
and
[37:11] our love for thầy, also our love to build
community and togetherness.
[37:17] So thank you for joining us.
[37:45] Br. Pháp Hữu
speaking Vietnamese
[48:41] So our lay friends now have an opportunity to
come and pay their respects,
[48:47] while the monastics have gathered
in the main shrine room,
[48:51] the main ancestors altar
of Từ Hiếu temple.
[48:59] And many of the people in gray
we see here,
[49:04] they may be original members
of the School of Youth for Social Service,
[49:08] they may be members
of the Order of Interbeing,
[49:11] if you see them
wearing the brown jacket.
[50:13] So in this room we have thầy Pháp Niệm
kneeling for the chanting,
[50:23] So thầy Pháp Ứng and thầy Pháp Niệm
are kneeling,
[50:27] as senior disciples of thầy
representing our community with the
[50:32] venerables as witness
and then the most senior venerables
[50:37] leading the chanting.
[50:49] This shrine hall,
this Buddha hall has recently been renovated,
[50:53] during the time
that thầy has been back in Vietnam,
[50:57] and thanks to thầy's presence there,
donations came in from around the world,
[51:02] to renovate this shrine hall.
[51:05] So it's wonderful for us to see it
for the first time.
[51:10] And during the works thầy came out
on his wheel chair,
[51:13] to enjoy witnessing the rebuilding
of the buddha hall,
[51:18] ancestors altar and shrine hall
that we are seeing right now.
[52:25] This particular style of chanting
is particular to Huế.
[52:31] Very beautiful.
[52:33] And we can see chrysanthemums,
[52:35] being placed around thầy's coffin,
his favorite flower.
[53:38] So we can see thầy's monastic disciples
stretching right out into the courtyard
[53:42] under the canopy, touching the earth
to pay their respects at the altar,
[53:47] led by the venerables from other traditions.
[54:09] And so everyone present in Từ Hiếu now
who has a chance to come,
[54:14] and to bow at the altar
of all our ancestral teachers of our lineage
[54:21] thầy's own teacher,
his own grandfather teacher,
[54:25] and so over the coming hours,
[54:28] monastics and lay friends
will be having an opportunity
[54:31] to touch the earth
around the ancestral altar,
[54:34] and also to sit in peace and silence
around thầy's coffin,
[54:40] thầy's casket and,
[54:42] the full moon meditation hall will become
a peaceful,
[54:47] hall of meditation, of zen
of quiet reflection,
[54:52] and paying respect to thầy.
[54:55] And the chanting will focus
in the shrine hall.
[55:01] and the ancestors altar.
[55:05] Very simple to see these beautiful
chrysanthemum flowers.
[55:45] We can see thầy's sanghati and his robe
folded above the coffin.
[55:53] And thầy was a monk for 80 years.
[55:57] 80 years of spiritual deepening
with compassion and of service,
[56:04] and here we're seeing Plum Village
monastics,
[56:07] many of them
who have been monastics for 10, 15 years.
[56:13] living training and serving not only in Vietnam
but many of these sisters
[56:17] have trained also in Plum Village in the US.
[56:20] And venerable Như Minh
Sư Bà Như Minh,
[56:23] and many other venerables here from Huế
coming to support us,
[56:27] and to be here as a refuge
for our younger monastics at this time.
[56:35] And on the right of the altar
we can see the memorial plaque for thầy.
[56:41] decorated with thầy's name and lineage.
[56:46] Made specially for this occasion.
[57:14] So continuing to practice
touching the earth at the ancestral altar,
[57:21] to pay our respects
to our beloved teacher.
[57:28] And over the coming days there will be
an opportunity for monastics,
[57:31] to travel from all over Vietnam
and for lay practitioners also to come,
[57:36] and pay their respects
at the ancestral altar.
[58:20] Here in Plum Village we're now taking a
moment also ourselves to touch the earth,
[58:24] in front of the altar that we have here,
[58:27] in our own meditation hall.
[58:30] You may like to do the same at home.
[1:00:02] Dear respected thầy,
dear noble community,
[1:00:12] The most venerables have finished
doing the opening verse.
[1:00:16] So the most venerables in Vietnam
have finished doing the opening verse,
[1:00:21] to begin the chanting for this morning,
[1:00:26] and continue throughout the morning
[1:00:32] All the venerables,
[1:00:36] proceeding from the shrine hall
to the full moon meditation hall,
[1:00:40] where they will continue the chanting.
[1:00:43] So we will wait for a few moments,
[1:00:46] while the venerables now gather,
[1:00:48] in the full moon meditation hall
around thầy's casket,
[1:00:52] and at thầy's altar here
in the full moon meditation hall,
[1:00:56] in Từ Hiếu, Huế, Vietnam.
[1:01:44] So prostrating now
in front of thầy's casket to pay respects,
[1:01:53] and the beautiful photo
you can see on thầy's altar,
[1:01:56] is from a lamp transmission ceremony
in Plum Village, France
[1:02:02] thầy holding the Dharma lamp,
[1:02:04] and many of us may know,
that thầy ordained
[1:02:07] many hundreds of Dharma teachers
in his lifetime.
[1:02:11] And they continue Thầys teachings
and work out in the world.
[1:02:17] Lay Dharma teachers and monastic
Dharma teachers in the monastic community.
[1:02:48] So we can see everyone with the brown
ceremonial robe,
[1:02:54] beneath the sanghati
is a Plum Village disciple of thầy,
[1:02:57] So wonderful that so many
of thầy's students can be gathered here,
[1:03:02] and the venerables with the golden robes.
[1:03:33] Many of these have been thầy's attendants,
[1:03:35] preparing food for thầy,
taking care of thầy during his time in Vietnam.
[1:03:40] Since 2018 when he returned.
[1:04:17] So many of thầy's monastic disciples
[1:04:19] gathered here in the meditation hall
in this moment.
[1:04:26] Many young men and women
from all over Vietnam,
[1:04:29] who've given up everything
to become thầy's disciples,
[1:04:33] to train in the art of mindful living
and in the Dharma doors of Plum Village.
[1:04:38] to offer healing and transformation
for themselves and for society.
[1:05:51] Since thầy's return to Vietnam in 2005
[1:05:54] many of his books have been able
to be studied in buddhist institutes,
[1:05:58] so even those who are not
in the Plum Village tradition,
[1:06:02] have been able to study
and benefit from thầy's scholarship,
[1:06:07] thầy's insights
and thầy's profound efforts,
[1:06:11] to renew buddhism
and to make it relevant to our time.
[1:06:33] thầy always had a lot of faith
in the young generation,
[1:06:36] and so wonderful to see so many
young monastics in our community
[1:06:42] continuing thầy's teachings,
[1:06:45] And so many lay disciples all over the world
[1:06:48] lay practitioners,
continuing thầy's teachings in the world.
[1:08:58] This full moon meditation hall,
[1:09:01] is the same hall
where thầy received the senators,
[1:09:04] from the United States
who came to pay their respects in 2019,
[1:09:12] it was also in this very same hall,
[1:09:15] where thầy received them
and invited them to have tea.
[1:09:43] The beautiful chrysanthemums
thầy's favorite flower,
[1:09:47] and Thây's disciples, young disciples in Vietnam touching the earth.
[1:10:07] Around the world there are
more than 700 monastic disciples of thầy,
[1:10:12] in our monasteries
not only in Vietnam but also in Europe,
[1:10:18] in America,
California, Mississippi and New York,
[1:10:23] and in Australia, Thailand, Hong Kong.
[1:10:30] And here we see the memorial pins
being distributed,
[1:10:36] And it is a tradition in the east,
[1:10:39] for the family members of those
who pass away,
[1:10:43] to wear a memorial pin,
in honor of their beloved family member.
[1:10:52] So we will now have a moment
for the memorial pins to be distributed,
[1:10:57] in particular,
[1:10:59] to the venerables out of respect
and also to thầy's monastic disciples.
[1:11:05] and they will be worn on our robes,
[1:11:09] for several weeks or indeed even months,
[1:11:12] the traditional mourning period
can be up to 3 years,
[1:11:17] And the pins
carry the Vietnamese phrase,
[1:11:23] "Coming and Going in Freedom"
(Đến, Đi, Thông Dông)
[1:11:28] And they are gold,
[1:11:30] saffron yellow, the same color
as our ceremonial robes.
[1:11:36] And in many of our monasteries
we will also have memorial pins,
[1:11:40] So if you are able to participate
in any of this,
[1:11:43] ceremonies held in our monasteries,
[1:11:45] we may also be able to offer you
a memorial pin
[1:11:49] to wear in honor of our teacher,
[1:11:51] as he comes and goes in freedom.
[1:12:35] There is also a moment
to offer symbolically food to thầy,
[1:12:41] on the altar
as well as the incense and flowers.
[1:12:54] And out of respect all the venerables
themselves wearing the memorial pins as well.
[1:13:39] So placing the memorial pins
on one another,
[1:13:43] with a lot of love, mindfulness and
remembrance of our teacher,
[1:13:50] Thay’s bowl here on the altar,
with the formal offering of rice.
[1:13:58] It seems.
[1:14:39] One of thầy's attendants there
kneeling close to,
[1:14:44] thầy's casket,
thầy's coffin and his altar,
[1:14:48] holding a visual vigil as we will
continue to do over the coming days,
[1:14:54] thầy's disciples will always be close
[1:14:57] to the coffin following our breathing,
[1:15:02] generating the energy
of peace and compassion,
[1:15:05] for our beloved teacher.
[1:18:06] So we're now seeing the distribution
of the memorial pins,
[1:18:10] to the lay friends
who have gathered outside,
[1:18:14] and who also have an opportunity
to come into the hall,
[1:18:17] to sit quietly
and follow their breathing,
[1:18:21] to touch the earth
and to pay their respects.
[1:18:25] And this will continue over
the coming days.
[1:18:31] And the atmosphere for this,
[1:18:35] these ceremonies at Từ Hiếu temple
here in Huế
[1:18:38] will be an atmosphere of peace
of serenity,
[1:18:42] and silence will be observed in
this full moon meditation hall,
[1:18:48] over the coming week,
[1:18:51] and,
[1:18:54] and the intention for these days
of ceremonies is to create,
[1:19:00] really the energy of mindfulness,
[1:19:03] of concentration,
of compassion, of peace and of insight.
[1:19:08] So these ceremonies themselves
are not merely rituals,
[1:19:11] but really this is a time
for our own practice,
[1:19:14] to receive thầy's Dharma body,
[1:19:17] of the energy of mindfulness,
compassion and peace
[1:19:20] to touch that in ourselves at this
auspicious moment,
[1:19:24] so that each one of us can also generate
that energy in these days,
[1:19:28] and offer it to the world.
[1:19:47] now each one of us will receive
a mourning pin,
[1:20:05] We shall receive one and we shall
pin it on our long robe,
[1:20:10] on the left side of our heart
as a token of thầy's continuation.
[1:20:26] thầy's physical presence
is not here anymore,
[1:20:30] and that is like an emptiness
that is felt around the world.
[1:20:43] But we are very lucky
we still have the sangha,
[1:20:50] And the sangha
is a true continuation of thầy.
[1:21:03] During the whole,
[1:21:04] ceremony days of mourning
and practicing continuation for thầy,
[1:21:17] let us always take refuge in our breath,
[1:21:21] take refuge in our steps,
[1:21:23] as a way to be in touch with thầy
and to be thầy's continuation.
[1:21:34] And we see thầy
in all our brothers, sisters and friends.
[1:21:50] And when we see our spiritual brother,
sister, friends,
[1:21:54] we can bow to him, her,
[1:21:56] and we can see that
they are a continuation of our teacher.
[1:22:08] And we continue to learn to
[1:22:11] accept each other, forgive each other,
and love each other,
[1:22:15] like family,
like children in one family.
[1:22:28] So we will now pass the tray of pins,
[1:22:32] and we shall receive it and we shall wear it
on our long robe on the left,
[1:22:38] and then we shall all touch the earth
three times together
[1:22:41] to end our ceremony this morning.
[1:22:54] In the root temple now,
after today,
[1:22:56] the practice will be noble silence
for the coming days,
[1:23:05] And all of the lay friends from around Vietnam,
the world that come to pay respect to thầy,
[1:23:11] they are asked to practice noble silence,
[1:23:20] And let us here in Plum Village
we practice as best as we can,
[1:23:24] as a way to support thầy
and support the whole community,
[1:23:29] during these days.
[1:23:32] We would like to thank the sangha.
[1:24:44] So dear friends,
the memorial pins
[1:24:46] are now being passed around
here in Plum Village, France.
[1:24:52] and for those of you at home,
[1:24:54] we have prepared
a number of resources for you
[1:24:59] on the Plum Village website.
[1:25:01] So if you haven't yet visited our website,
[1:25:04] please go there, we have
wonderful teachings from thầy,
[1:25:11] beautiful poems,
beautiful recordings of chants,
[1:25:16] and we can continue to nourish ourselves
with all of these offerings,
[1:25:22] over the coming days
and to bring this spirit into our own life.
[1:25:57] And we will try to do our best
to find a way,
[1:26:00] so that at home you can print out
this beautiful calligraphy,
[1:26:04] so that you can create
your own memorial pin,
[1:26:07] to also wear, just as
all of thầy's students are wearing,
[1:26:12] in our centers around the world,
and also as we can see in Huế, Vietnam.
[1:27:58] And dear community, we hope that
[1:28:01] those of you who are able to do so,
will be able to come together,
[1:28:05] with your sanghas,
[1:28:07] to sit together, to walk together,
to generate the energy of mindfulness
[1:28:14] together in honor of our teacher.
[1:28:17] To create this energy of peace
also where you are,
[1:28:21] so that we are not alone in this moment
[1:28:25] so please do not hesitate to reach out
[1:28:28] and connect to your local sanghas.
[1:28:31] To find a nearby sangha
if you are not yet a member of a sangha
[1:28:35] and to enjoy,
[1:28:37] continuing thầy's energy in the
world through our own practice,
[1:28:43] in community,
in collectivity.
[1:28:53] And it is as a community,
[1:28:55] that we can move forward
for a more beautiful future.
[1:29:20] In gratitude to our teacher,
[1:29:23] zen master whose first name is Nhất
and whose second name is Hạnh,
[1:29:28] the founder of the Plum Village tradition.
[1:32:53] So dear beloved community,

[1:33:08] here in the Still Water meditation hall
of Upper Hamlet.
[1:33:12] to pay their respects at thầy's altar here.

and to practice
[1:33:57] mindful walking, mindful breathing,

to you, in your town or city, or region.
