More quotes by Nhat Hanh
If you have not suffered hunger, you do not appreciate having something to eat. If you have not gone through a war, you don't know the value of peace. That is why we should not try to run away from one thing after another thing. Holding our suffering, looking deeply into it, we find a way to happiness.
Nhat Hanh
We have to learn to die in every moment in order to be fully alive.
Nhat Hanh
Because you are alive, everything is possible.
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
My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.
Nhat Hanh
One Buddha is not enough we need to have many Buddhas.
Nhat Hanh
The way must be in you the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive.
Nhat Hanh
Compassion is a verb.
Nhat Hanh
It's like growing lotus flowers. You cannot grow lotus flowers on marble. You have to grow them on the mud. Without mud you cannot have lotus flowers. Without suffering, you have no way to learn how to be understanding and compassionate.
Nhat Hanh
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
Nhat Hanh
Wisdom and joy arise when you learn to exist now rather than in the nonexistent past or future.
Nhat Hanh
Our own life has to be our message.
Nhat Hanh
The root-word buddha means to wake up, to know, to understand and he or she who wakes up and understands is call a Buddha. It is as simple as that. The capacity to wake up, to understand, and to love is called Buddha nature.
Nhat Hanh
You are like fireworks. You go out into your children, your friends, your society, and the whole world.
Nhat Hanh
Know that life can only be found in the present moment.
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
When we enter the present moment deeply, our regrets and sorrows disappear, and we discover life with all its wonders.
Nhat Hanh
The Buddha said that if we know how to look deeply into our suffering and recognize what feeds it, we are already on the path of emancipation.
Nhat Hanh
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
Nhat Hanh
In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.
