This is the third children's talk offered by Thay in the second week of the Summer Opening Retreat, given in the Upper Hamlet of Plum Village on Sunday, July 20th, 2011. Thay teaches the children the practice of relaxing the body, smiling to life, and seeing our parents inside. He uses the example of a seed of corn show how our parents are present in every cell of our body: we cannot separate the father from the son. The Buddha is also in us, and we can breathe with him when we breathe.
