November 19, 2009 dharma talk by Thich Nhat Hanh from New Hamlet in Plum Village.

In this talk Thay demonstrates the importance of gathas, short verses for practice, in the cultivating of peace, joy, and happiness.

Water flows from high in the mountains.
Water runs deep in the Earth
Miraculously, water comes to us,  and sustains all life.

With hearts established in mindfulness, we are truly present for sitting and walking meditation, and for reciting the sutras. May this practice center, with its Fourfold Sangha, be supported by the Three Jewels and Holy Beings, well-protected from the eight misfortunes and the three paths of suffering.
