This week Brother Stream interviews Thay Phap Dang, a Dharma Teacher and the Abbot of Maple Forest Monastery in Vermont. Thay Phap Dang was invited by the Deer Park Sangha along with Thay Vo Ngai to support us during the recent Vietnamese Retreat. He shares about his life and practice as a monk of 17 years, about his experiences teaching in Vietnam, and also shares a song, "Close to Thay."The broadcast ends with the flute solo, "Song for the Buddha," by the Basque musician Laurent Bernays, from the Refuge Tree CD. May you be well.

Thank you to both Br. Phap Lu and Br. Phap Dang for sharing the dharma with us. As you guessed, I listened to this interview on my drive to work this morning. What a wonderful way to start my work week after a challenging weekend. It was good to be reminded of the basic practice of breathing and to know that we all, including monastics, struggle with anger and patience. Keep up the good work and keep the podcasts coming.

Thank you so much for this wonderful interview. It was very interesting to hear about the important work in Vietnam as well. This important spiritual work in contrast to today\'s LA Times article about how TV games shows are a significant part of Vietnamese childrens\' life now. The interview format is really excellent and a good way to learn more about the dharma by learning how others approach the dharma and the gifts it offers to them. Thank you
