Quote

If every day you practice walking and sitting meditation and generate the energy of mindfulness and concentration and peace, you are a cell in the body of the new Buddha. This is not a dream but is possible today and tomorrow.

Image
Anger is like a flame blazing up and consuming our self-control, making us think, say, and do things that we will probably regret later.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Most of your suffering comes from the lack of understanding of yourself and others.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Each breath we take, each step we make, each smile we realize, is a positive contribution to peace... a necessary step in the direction of peace for the world.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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
Image
The most important thing that we can do for the healing of our world is to hear inside ourselves, the sounds of the earth crying.
Nhat Hanh
Image
I am inviting you to go deeper, to learn and to practice so that you become someone who has a great capacity for being solid, calm, and without fear, because our society needs people like you who have these qualities, and your children, our children, need people like you, in order to go on, in order to become solid, and calm, and without fear.

Without collective awakening the catastrophe will come. I think people in the mass media, journalists, film makers and others, you can contribute to the collective awakening if you are awake and then your life will embody that awakening.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

Meditation is not to get out of society, to escape from society, but to prepare for a reentery into society.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Recognize that it is not really possible to steadily help others when we ourselves are not in good physical, mental, or emotional state. We may be able to carry on for a while, but sooner or later we end up feeling depleted, discouraged, or weak. We cannot keep on giving when we are running on an empty tank. We need to be solid.
Nhat Hanh
Image
If the people who hurt us have anger or desperation within them then they suffer. When you see that someone suffers, you might be motivated by a desire to help him not to suffer anymore.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Anger and hatred are the materials from which hell is made.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Mindfulness must be engaged. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. Otherwise, what's the use of seeing?
Nhat Hanh
Image
I would not be happy if I had not become a monk.
Nhat Hanh
Image
If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Silence is essential for deep transformation. It allows the practice of conscious breathing to become deep and effective. Like still water that reflects things as they are, the calming silence helps us to see things more clearly, and therefore, to be in deeper contact with ourselves and those around us.
Nhat Hanh
Image
In all the practice centers in the tradition of Plum Village whenever the phone rings or the clock chimes in the dining hall, people stop everything they are doing and breathe consciously, releasing all thinking and any tension.
Nhat Hanh
Image
I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to support any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life
Nhat Hanh

Know that life can only be found in the present moment.
