More quotes by Nhat Hanh
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
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
Eating mindfully is a most important practice of meditation. We can eat in a way that we restore the cookie of our childhood. The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.
Nhat Hanh
The raft is used to cross the river. It isn't to be carried around on your shoulders. The finger which points at the moon isn't the moon itself.
Nhat Hanh
It's like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get a relief.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.
Nhat Hanh
Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.
Nhat Hanh
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
Life is available only in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
The electron is first of all your concept of the electron.
Nhat Hanh
Your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get relief. And if you continue with your practice of mindfulness, you understand the roots, the nature of the suffering, and you know the way to transform it.
Nhat Hanh
When we shout at the oak tree, the oak tree is not offended. When we praise the oak tree, it doesn't raise its nose. We can learn the Dharma from the oak tree therefore, the oak tree is part of our Dharmakaya. We can learn from everything that is around, that is in us.
Nhat Hanh
You have to do it by yourself. You can not do it alone.
Nhat Hanh
The teachings on love given by the Buddha are clear, scientific, and applicable... Love, compassion, joy, and equanimity are the very nature of an enlightened person. They are the four aspects of true love within ourselves and within everyone and everything.
Nhat Hanh
At the moment of waking up, before getting out of bed, get in touch with your breath
Nhat Hanh
No single tradition monopolizes the truth. We must glean the best values of all traditions and work together to remove the tensions between traditions in order to give peace a chance.
Nhat Hanh
I do many kinds of work, and if you forbid me from binding books, from gardening, from writing poetry, from practicing walking meditation, from teaching children, I will be very unhappy. To me, work is pleasant. Pleasant or unpleaseant depends on our way of looking.
Nhat Hanh
Each second of life is a miracle
Nhat Hanh
When we have anger in us, we suffer. When we have discrimination in us, we suffer. When we have the complex of superiority, we suffer. When we have the complex of inferiority, we suffer also. So when we are capable of transforming these negative things in us, we are free and happiness is possible.
Nhat Hanh
Look deeply I arrive in every second to be a bud on a spring branch ... to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.
