Look deeply I arrive in every second to be a bud on a spring branch ... to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.
Nhat Hanh

A human being is like a television set with millions of channels.... We cannot let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to recover our own sovereignty.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

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
Image
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

Mindfulness must be engaged. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. Otherwise, what's the use of seeing?
Nhat Hanh
Image
Sometimes when I am alone in my room in the dark, I practice smiling to myself. I do this to be kind to myself, to take good care of myself, to love myself. I know that if I cannot take care of myself, I cannot take care of anyone else.
Nhat Hanh
Image
We have to learn to die in every moment in order to be fully alive.
Nhat Hanh
Image
You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.
Nhat Hanh
Image
If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love.
Nhat Hanh

In the mountains of wisdom no climbing is in vain.
Nhat Hanh
Image
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
Nhat Hanh
Image
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.
