More quotes by Nhat Hanh
When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.
Nhat Hanh
The nectar of compassion is so wonderful. If you are committed to keeping it alive, then you are protected. What the other person says will not touch off the anger and irritation in you, because compassion is the real antidote to anger. Nothing can heal anger except compassion. That is why the practice of compassion is a very wonderful practice.
Nhat Hanh
Life has left her footprints on my forehead. But I have become a child again this morning. The smile, seen through leaves and flowers, is back to smooth away the wrinkles, as the rains wipe away footprints on the beach. Again a cycle of birth and death begins.
Nhat Hanh
When you say something really unkind, when you do something in retaliation your anger increases. You make the other person suffer, and he will try hard to say or to do something back to get relief from his suffering. That is how conflict escalates.
Nhat Hanh
To take good care of yourself and to take good care of living beings and of the environment is the best way to love God.
Nhat Hanh
The most important thing that we can do for the healing of our world is to hear inside ourselves, the sounds of the earth crying.
Nhat Hanh
Know that life can only be found in the present moment.
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
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
The Seven Factors of Awakening are mindfulness, investigation of phenomena, diligence, joy, ease, concentration, and letting go.
Nhat Hanh
If you are truly present and know how to take care of the present moment as best you can, you are doing your best for the future already.
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
Until there is peace between religions, there can be no peace in the world.
Nhat Hanh
Happiness and suffering support each other. To be is to inter-be. It's like the left and the right. If the left is not there, the right cannot be there. The same is true with suffering and happiness, good and evil.
Nhat Hanh
Freedom is the real foundation of happiness.
Nhat Hanh
We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet. We need to awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet.
Nhat Hanh
Happiness is the cessation of suffering. Well-being.
Nhat Hanh
Once you develop the practice of smiling, you may not need a reminder. You will smile as soon as you hear a bird singing or see the sunlight streaming through the window.
Nhat Hanh
As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves, we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love.
Nhat Hanh
By listening with calm and understanding, we can ease the suffering of another person.
