When you call me European, I say yes. When you call me Arab, I say yes. When you call me black, I say yes. When you call me white, I say yes. Because I am in you and you are in me. We have to inter-be with everything in the cosmos.

In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion it is a serene encounter with reality.
Nhat Hanh
Image
The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
Nhat Hanh

Without collective awakening the catastrophe will come. I think people in the mass media, journalists, film makers and others, you can contribute to the collective awakening if you are awake and then your life will embody that awakening.
Nhat Hanh
Image
I vow to live fully in each moment.
Nhat Hanh
Image
The fact is that when you make the other suffer, he will try to find relief by making you suffer more. The result is an escalation of suffering on both sides.
Nhat Hanh

Meditation is not an escape from life... but preparation for really being in life.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive they are just walking corpses.
