The Ultimate Dimension

By: Thích Nhất Hạnh

Length: 6 hrs and 47 mins

Publisher's summary

The teachings of Buddhism describe two realities: the "historical dimension" of time, space, and form, and the "ultimate dimension": an infinite realm beyond birth and death, the realm of complete freedom, peace, and joy, the ground of being called "nirvana". On The Ultimate Dimension, you are invited to sit beside Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh for an advanced dharma retreat that opens the doorway to this sublime experience of being. With him, you will plant the seeds for a daily practice to transform the way you relate to life's difficulties, and begin to unfold your natural state of happiness and wisdom: your Buddha nature.

thank you

thank you for this wonderful learning opprotunity. my practice and mindfulness have been strengenthed immeasurably.

Thich Nhat Hanh Reveals the Truth

Thich Nhat Hanh reveals the essential Truth hidden deep with the Lotus Sutra and he does so in a way that is easily accessible to the listener.

As a Buddhist practitioner and one who follows this sutra I have listened to this presentation for well over 30 times and I always see how I can better embody what the Sutra conveys. Just a wonderful sharing by Thich Nhat Hanh, he lives here in the teaching..

Thank you.

a wonderful surprise

This is my first listen to Thich Nhat Hanh and I was pleasantly surprised. Although I had to slow down and really be present in listening to this master, in doing so, I was transformed from the knowing to the being. It is an honor to be able to hear his teachings in his voice.

Simple Truth

TNH's message is not overly complicated, and can get a bit repetitive. I believe the reason for this is that it is his intention that we really hear what he has to say. I enjoyed this book immensly - and if I can practice only a small part of what he teaches, I can see it having a profound impact on my life and happiness. I heartily recommend this book, for both the committed searchers, and those only ready to stick a toe in the water.

Beautiful and inspiring

It takes more than one listen to fully absorb the content. It is a great synthesis of Thich’s teachings.

Very smoothing. Good essence of teachings!

Will revisit as this is worth the time to look into one self. Very easy to digest, effortless.

Deeply calming and soothing lecture series

Simple yet very enlightening! The sign of a true teacher. A jem in my book.

Wonderful insight for those who know the basics

A deeper understanding into the sutras. It's very good for those who have a foundation in Thay's teachings. If you don't know the basics of mindfulness, you may have questions for clarification and further understanding. I would suggest starting with The Art of Living. I will enjoy listening to this again.

Surprising

I have always liked Thich Nhat Hanh, but this book was a little different. I'm listening slowly and the talk moves very slowly, but that's okay for the practice he describes. The surprising thing was, he made me laugh out loud- in a good way.
Charming, loving, and tender. It will be a while before I finish this book, but I can tell already I will listen to it more than once.

very good

His voice is a little hard to understand but I still like it. You get used to it and if you have problems sleeping it's not a bad book to put on and fall asleep too...his words are simple and to the point and soothing at the same time. Enjoy.
