More quotes by Nhat Hanh
If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?
Nhat Hanh
To condemn someone to death is to surrender it proves that you failed. You are not able to change him, to change her you have to kill him or her. You surrender. ... You only demonstrate your lack of capacity, your helplessness. This is failure.
Nhat Hanh
The roots of war are in the way we live our daily lives -- the way we develop our industries, build up our society, and consume goods.
Nhat Hanh
The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.
Nhat Hanh
Wisdom is a living stream, not an icon to be preserved in a museum. Only when a practitioner finds the spring of wisdom in his or her own life can it flow to a future generation
Nhat Hanh
When the energy of compassion and love touches us, healing establishes itself.
Nhat Hanh
Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect. In either case, we learn nothing.
Nhat Hanh
Happiness is available. Please help yourself to it.
Nhat Hanh
Maybe we have enough technology to save the planet but it is not enough because the people are not ready.
Nhat Hanh
Our own life has to be our message.
Nhat Hanh
I am determined to practice deep listening. I am determined to practice loving speech.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is, first of all, a tool for surveying our territory so we can know what is going on. With the energy of mindfulness, we can calm things down, understand them, and bring harmony back to the conflicting elements inside us.
Nhat Hanh
Happiness is the cessation of suffering. Well-being.
Nhat Hanh
When you drop bombs on the enemy, you drop those same bombs on yourself, your own country.
Nhat Hanh
The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
Nhat Hanh
Do not avoid contact with suffering or close your eyes before suffering. Do not lose awareness of the existence of suffering in the life of the world. Find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, including personal contact and visits, images, sounds. By such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.
Nhat Hanh
I am committed to cultivating loving speech and deep listening in order to bring joy and happiness to others and relieve others of their suffering.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help.
Nhat Hanh
Compassion is a verb.
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.
