Please watch the following video of an interview given by Oprah with my personal hero, Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist Monk, Teacher, Speaker, Author. He hit the nail on the head in speaking about the 4th Mantra being the most difficult for us as a human species to practice. This interview brought me to tears multiple times as many things he spoke about really hit home. The following, is the outline of the Mantra's in which Mr. Hanh speaks of.
The Four Mantras:
1. Darling, I am here for you.
2. Darling, I know you are there. And I am so truly happy.
3. Darling, I know that you suffer. That is why I am here for you.
4. Darling, I suffer. I am trying my best to practice. Please help me.
As Thich Nhat Hanh so appropriately states: "How can you love, if you are not there?"
I have some work to do.
