More quotes by Nhat Hanh
I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death of all that is alive.
Nhat Hanh
Spiritual practice is not just sitting and meditation. Practice is looking, thinking, touching, drinking, eating and talking. Every act, every breath, and every step can be practice and can help us to become more ourselves.
Nhat Hanh
By listening with calm and understanding, we can ease the suffering of another person.
Nhat Hanh
Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive - that you can touch the miracle of being alive - then that is a kind of enlightenment.
Nhat Hanh
With understanding, those we love will certainly flower.
Nhat Hanh
The miracle is not to walk on water, or in the air, or on burning charcoal. The miracle is to walk on earth. You breathe in, you become aware of the fact that you are alive. You are alive and you are walking on this beautiful planet. The greatest of of all miracles is to be alive.
Nhat Hanh
In modern society most of us don't want to be in touch with ourselves we want to be in touch with other things like religion, sports, politics, a book - we want to forget ourselves. Anytime we have leisure, we want to invite something else to enter us, opening ourselves to the television and telling the television to come and colonize us.
Nhat Hanh
I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight... I have to deal with my anger with care, with love, with tenderness, with nonviolence.
Nhat Hanh
There is no birth, there is no death there is no coming, there is no going there is no same, there is no different there is no permanent self, there is no annihilation. We only think there is.
Nhat Hanh
Choose to be in touch with what is wonderful, refreshing, and healing within yourself and around you.
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
Meditation is not an escape from life... but preparation for really being in life.
Nhat Hanh
To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is. A pessimistic attitude can never create the calm and serene smile which blossoms on the lips of Bodhisattvas and all those who obtain the way.
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
It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.
Nhat Hanh
Go slowly, breathe and smile.
Nhat Hanh
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
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
Anger and hatred are the materials from which hell is made.
Nhat Hanh
If you come to Plum Village in the summertime, you see many lotus flowers. Without the mud the lotus flowers cannot grow. You cannot separate lotus flowers from the mud. It is the same with understanding and love. These are two kinds of flowers that grow on the ground of suffering
