Freedom is the real foundation of happiness.
Nhat Hanh

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.
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

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

Nhat Hanh

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Sometimes we believe that happiness is not possible in the here and now, that we need a few more conditions to be happy. So we run toward the future to get the conditions we think are missing. But by doing so we sacrifice the present moment we sacrifice true life.

Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfully. Seek peace. When you have peace within, real peace with others is possible.
