More quotes by Nhat Hanh
Silence is something that comes from your heart, not from outside. Silence doesn't mean not talking and not doing things it means that you are not disturbed inside. If you're truly silent, then no matter what situation you find yourself in you can enjoy the silence.
Nhat Hanh
In all the practice centers in the tradition of Plum Village whenever the phone rings or the clock chimes in the dining hall, people stop everything they are doing and breathe consciously, releasing all thinking and any tension.
Nhat Hanh
If you have not suffered hunger, you do not appreciate having something to eat. If you have not gone through a war, you don't know the value of peace. That is why we should not try to run away from one thing after another thing. Holding our suffering, looking deeply into it, we find a way to happiness.
Nhat Hanh
Looking deeply into the wrong perceptions, ideas, and notions that are at the base of our suffering is the most important practice in Buddhist meditation.

Nhat Hanh
Mindfulness is like that—it is the miracle which can call back in a flash our dispersed mind and restore it to wholeness so that we can live each minute of life.
Nhat Hanh
Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.
Nhat Hanh
When you enter deeply into this moment, you see the nature of reality, and this insight liberates you from suffering and confusion. Peace is already there to some extent: the problem is whether we know how to touch it.
Nhat Hanh
When you drop bombs on the enemy, you drop those same bombs on yourself, your own country.
Nhat Hanh
Look deeply I arrive in every second to be a bud on a spring branch ... to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.
Nhat Hanh
We need to move beyond the idea of 'environment' and fall back in love with Mother Earth.
Nhat Hanh
We try to live every moment like that, dwelling peacefully in the present moment, and respond to events with compassion.
Nhat Hanh
If you are capable of brushing your teeth in mindfulness, then you will be able to enjoy the time when you take a shower, cook your breakfast, sip your tea.
Nhat Hanh
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
You are me, and I am you. Isn't it obvious that we inter-are? You cultivate the flower in yourself, so that I will be beautiful. I transform the garbage in myself, so that you will not have to suffer.
Nhat Hanh
Due to attachment, anger, and foolishness, I have committed numberless mistakes in speech, deed and thought. I bow my head and repent. I vow from today to begin anew, to live day and night in mindfulness, and not to repeat my previous mistakes.
