When we change our daily lives - the way we think, speak and act - we change the world.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Our nature is the nature of no birth and no death. It is impossible for a cloud to pass from being into nonbeing. And that is true with a beloved person. They have not died. They have continued in many new forms and you can look deeply and recognize them in you and around you.
Nhat Hanh
Image
I am determined to practice deep listening. I am determined to practice loving speech.

I know that we do not know enough. We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Human beings are not our enemy. Our enemy is not the other person. Our enemy is the violence, ignorance, and injustice in us and in the other person. When we are armed with compassion and understanding, we fight not against other people, but against the tendency to invade, to dominate, and to exploit.
Nhat Hanh
Image
One Buddha is not enough we need to have many Buddhas.
Nhat Hanh

Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Because if the manifestations that happen in the present moment are beautiful and good, their continuation in the future will be also good and beautiful.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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 each of us is a seed of understanding. The seed is God.
