Loving is Protecting – Nurturing non-fear for love to flourish authentically

In this short talk Thích Nhất Hạnh delves into the profound connection between love, protection, and the absence of fear.

Thich Nhat Hanh identifies fear as a seed within us, capable of growth but also susceptible to nurturing its counterpart: the seed of non-fear.

Through self-love and protection, he advocates for the cultivation of this non-fear seed, which enables us to extend genuine love and protection to others.

Central to his message is the notion that fear inhibits our capacity to love and serve, emphasizing the necessity of nurturing non-fear for love to flourish authentically.

This insightful discourse, delivered in 1998, underscores the timeless relevance of Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings.
