More quotes by Nhat Hanh
To be spiritual means to be solid, calm, and peaceful and to be able to look deeply inside and around us.
Nhat Hanh
In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears.
Nhat Hanh
Due to attachment, anger, and foolishness, I have committed numberless mistakes in speech, deed and thought. I bow my head and repent. I vow from today to begin anew, to live day and night in mindfulness, and not to repeat my previous mistakes.
Nhat Hanh
There is no enlightenment outside of daily life.
Nhat Hanh
You have to do it by yourself. You can not do it alone.
Nhat Hanh
I think, therefore I am ... not here.
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
Mindfulness is like that—it is the miracle which can call back in a flash our dispersed mind and restore it to wholeness so that we can live each minute of life.
Nhat Hanh
If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.
Nhat Hanh
Freedom is not given to us by anyone we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice... No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.
Nhat Hanh
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
In each of us is a seed of understanding. The seed is God.
Nhat Hanh
People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena. To see one in all and all in one is to break through the great barrier which narrows one's perception of reality.
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
The only answer to fear is more understanding. And there is no understanding if there is no effort to look more deeply to see what is there in our heart and in the heart of the other person.
Nhat Hanh
Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.
Nhat Hanh
Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter.
Nhat Hanh
Today, you can decide to walk in freedom. You can choose to walk differently. You can walk as a free person, enjoying every step.
Nhat Hanh
What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying.
Nhat Hanh
The therapist does not treat patients by simply giving them another set of beliefs. He or she tries to help them see which kinds of ideas and beliefs have led to their suffering. Many patients want to get rid of their painful feelings, but they do not want to get rid of their beliefs, the viewpoints that are the very roots of their feelings.
Nhat Hanh
