More quotes by Nhat Hanh
What we most need to do is to hear within us the sound of the Earth crying.
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
Guarding knowledge is not a good way to understand. Understanding means to throw away your knowledge.
Nhat Hanh
Understanding and Love are not two separate things, but just one. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you cannot help but love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people.
Nhat Hanh

When someone does not know how to handle his own suffering, one allows it to spill all over the people around him or her. When you suffer, you make people around you suffer. That's very natural. This is why we have to learn how to handle our suffering, so we won't spread it everywhere.
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
When we have peace, then we have a chance to save the planet. But if we are not united in peace, if we do not practice mindful consumption, we cannot save our planet.
Nhat Hanh

Nhat Hanh
No single tradition monopolizes the truth. We must glean the best values of all traditions and work together to remove the tensions between traditions in order to give peace a chance.
Nhat Hanh
Freedom is the real foundation of happiness.
Nhat Hanh
Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.
Nhat Hanh
It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.
Nhat Hanh
Usually, people have a tendency to be caught in the worries concerning the future or in the regret concerning the past. There is some kind of energy that is pushing them to run, and they are not able to establish themselves in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
