Toxic Inputs

Thich Nhat Hanh Dharma Talks

Show Notes

We continue our series of posts with questions and answers. In this fifth post, we hear two questions.

The session takes place on August 16, 2007 during the Stonehill College retreat during the U.S. Tour. The retreat theme is Mindfulness, Fearlessness, and Togetherness.

1. How can we influence other members of our family, especially other adults, who want to avoid toxic inputs such as television shows, alcohol, etc. often they are not interested in changing their lifestyle or the practice. How can handle this in our home.

2. What should you do if someone feels bad and you want to make them feel better.
