The only way to ease our fear and be truly happy is to acknowledge our fear and look deeply at its source. Instead of trying to escape from our fear, we can invite it up to our awareness and look at it clearly and deeply.

More quotes by Nhat Hanh
Anger and hatred are the materials from which hell is made.
Nhat Hanh
If the people who hurt us have anger or desperation within them then they suffer. When you see that someone suffers, you might be motivated by a desire to help him not to suffer anymore.
Nhat Hanh
We try to live every moment like that, dwelling peacefully in the present moment, and respond to events with compassion.
Nhat Hanh
Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.
Nhat Hanh
If we are free from attachment, we can easily recognize ourselves in other people, in different forms of manifestation, and then we don't have to suffer.
Nhat Hanh
When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
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
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
The wave does not need to die to become water. She is already water.
Nhat Hanh
In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.
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
When you produce peace and happiness in yourself, you begin to realize peace for the whole world. With the smile that you produce in yourself, with the conscious breathing you establish within yourself, you begin to work for peace in the world.
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
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
Real peace is not in power, money, or weapons, but in deep inner peace.
Nhat Hanh
Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.
Nhat Hanh
We may think that justice is everyone being equal, having the same rights, sharing the same kind of advantages, but maybe we have not had the chance to look at the nature of justice in terms of no-self. That kind of justice is based on the idea of self, but it may be very interesting to explore justice in terms of no-self.
Nhat Hanh
Everything inside and around us wants to reflect itself in us. We don't have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the still water of our heart.
Nhat Hanh
Every feeling is a field of energy. A pleasant feeling is an energy which can nourish. Irritation is a feeling which can destroy. Under the light of awareness, the energy of irritation can be transformed into and energy which nourishes.
Nhat Hanh
