More quotes by Nhat Hanh
I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.
Nhat Hanh
Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.
Nhat Hanh
Maybe we have enough technology to save the planet but it is not enough because the people are not ready.
Nhat Hanh
As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.
Nhat Hanh
Only your compassion and your loving kindness are invincible, and without limit.
Nhat Hanh
We have the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast. But in the name of freedom, people have done a lot of damage. I think we have to build a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast in order to counterbalance. Because liberty without responsibility is not true liberty. We are not free to destroy.
Nhat Hanh
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
The nectar of compassion is so wonderful. If you are committed to keeping it alive, then you are protected. What the other person says will not touch off the anger and irritation in you, because compassion is the real antidote to anger. Nothing can heal anger except compassion. That is why the practice of compassion is a very wonderful practice.
Nhat Hanh
Working for peace in the future is to work for peace in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others.
Nhat Hanh
When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
Nhat Hanh
The energy of compassion is very strong. We suffer. That is real. But we have learned not to get angry and not to allow ourselves to be carried by anger. We realize right away that that is fear. That is corruption.
Nhat Hanh
A bodhisattva is someone who has compassion within himself or herself and who is able to make another person smile or help someone suffer less. Every one of us is capable of this.
Nhat Hanh
May we awaken from forgetfulness and realize our true home.
Nhat Hanh
One hour of compassionate deep listening can bring about transformation and healing.
Nhat Hanh
Know that life can only be found in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart.
Nhat Hanh
Buddhism has to do with your daily life, with your suffering and with the suffering of the people around you.
Nhat Hanh
In each of us is a seed of understanding. The seed is God.
Nhat Hanh
Knowing that anger makes me ugly, I smile instead. I return to myself and meditate on love.
Nhat Hanh
