More quotes by Nhat Hanh
To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.
Nhat Hanh
In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask why don't I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden and they abandon their values.
Nhat Hanh
You cannot transmit wisdom and insight to another person. The seed is already there. A good teacher touches the seed, allowing it to wake up, to sprout, and to grow.
Nhat Hanh
When your mind is liberated, your heart floods with compassion.
Nhat Hanh
When it comes to health and well-being, regular exercise is about as close to a magic potion as you can get.
Nhat Hanh
As children, Siddhartha and Jesus both realized that life is filled with suffering. The Buddha became aware at an early age that suffering is pervasive. Jesus must have had the same kind of insight, because they both made every effort to offer a way out. We, too, must learn to live in ways that reduce the world's suffering.
Nhat Hanh
Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.
Nhat Hanh
Fear is born from ignorance. We think that the other person is trying to take away something from us. But if we look deeply, we see that the desire of the other person is exactly our own desire - to have peace, to be able to have a chance to live.
Nhat Hanh
Anger and hatred are the materials from which hell is made.
Nhat Hanh
Life is available only in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
Breath is aligned with both body and mind and it alone can bring them together.
Nhat Hanh
Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.
Nhat Hanh
To be or not to be is not the question. The question is whether you can transcend these notions.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is to be aware of what is going on in your body, in your feelings, in your mind, and in the world.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.
Nhat Hanh
The joy of life is born of concentration. When you are having a cup of tea, the value of that experience depends on your concentration. You have to drink the tea with 100 percent of your concentration.
Nhat Hanh
When we live in the spirit of gratitude, there will be much happiness in our life. The one who is grateful is the one who has much happiness while the one who is ungrateful will not be able to have happiness.
Nhat Hanh
Happiness is not an individual matter. When you are able to bring relief, or bring back the smile to one person, not only that person profits, but you also profit.
Nhat Hanh
If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace.
Nhat Hanh
An emotion is only an emotion. It's just a small part of your whole being. You are much more than your emotion. An emotion comes, stays for a while, and goes away, just like a storm. If you're aware of that, you won't be afraid of your emotions.
