When someone does not know how to handle his own suffering, one allows it to spill all over the people around him or her. When you suffer, you make people around you suffer. That's very natural. This is why we have to learn how to handle our suffering, so we won't spread it everywhere.

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Without collective awakening the catastrophe will come. I think people in the mass media, journalists, film makers and others, you can contribute to the collective awakening if you are awake and then your life will embody that awakening.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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.

If things were not impermanent, life would not be possible.

We can help many people suffer less and realize a lot of happiness without being rich or influential. If love and compassion are in out hearts, every thought, word, and deed can bring about a miracle

Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.

Each breath we take, each step we make, each smile we realize, is a positive contribution to peace... a necessary step in the direction of peace for the world.
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.
Nhat Hanh

Compassion is a verb.
Nhat Hanh
Image
We are often sad and suffer a lot when things change, but change and impermanence have a positive side. Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Life itself is possible... If your daughter is not impermanent, she cannot grow up to become a woman. Then your grandchildren would never manifest.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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
Image
If you establish serenity and happiness inside yourself, you provide the world with a solid base of peace. If you do not give yourself peace, how can you share it with others? If you do not begin your peace work with yourself, where will you go to begin it?
Nhat Hanh
Image
As you walk, you touch the ground mindfully, and every step can bring you solidity and joy and freedom. Freedom from your regret concerning the past, and freedom from your fear about the future.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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

Freedom from suffering is a great happiness.

I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to support any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life
