Quote

We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don't allow our bodies to heal, and we don't allow our minds and hearts to heal.

When you suffer, you can look deeply at your situation and find the many blessings that are already surrounding you. It is wonderful to sit with a pen and paper and write down all the conditions for happiness that are already there, already available to you right in this moment.
Nhat Hanh
Image
When you produce peace and happiness in yourself, you begin to realize peace for the whole world. With the smile that you produce in yourself, with the conscious breathing you establish within yourself, you begin to work for peace in the world.

Image
We have to have loving speech. And if we are honest, if we are true, terrorists will open their hearts. Then we practice compassionate listening, and we can learn so much about our own perception and their perception. Only after that can we help remove wrong perception. That is the best way, the only way, to remove terrorism.

When you look deeply into your anger, you will see that the person you call your enemy is also suffering. As soon as you see that, the capacity of accepting and having compassion for them is there.

Are we treating our body kindly by the way we eat, by the way we drink, by the way we work? Are we treating ourselves with enough joy and tenderness and peace? Or are we feeding ourselves with toxins that we get from the market - the spiritual, intellectual, entertainment market?

Nhat Hanh

My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.
Nhat Hanh
Image
In one sheet of paper, we see everything else, the cloud, the forest, the logger. I am, therefore you are. You are, therefore I am. That is the meaning of the word interbeing. We interare.
Nhat Hanh
Image
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
Nhat Hanh
Image
Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.
Nhat Hanh
Image
There's no way I can be tossed around like a bottle slapped here and there on the waves.

One Buddha is not enough we need to have many Buddhas.

Guarding knowledge is not a good way to understand. Understanding means to throw away your knowledge.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Our life is a manifestation, and we can very well make that manifestation beautiful and meaningful and have a good influence.
Nhat Hanh
Image
We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.
Nhat Hanh
Image
In order to heal others, we first need to heal ourselves. And to heal ourselves, we need to know how to deal with ourselves.

Each time you take a mindful step you are back in the arms of Mother Earth and are reminded of your true sweet home in the here and now.

Machine thinking is the opposite of mindfulness. If we're really engaged in mindfulness when walking along the path to the village, then we will consider the act of each step we take as an infinite wonder, and a joy will open our hearts like a flower, enabling us to enter the world of reality.
