The only answer to fear is more understanding. And there is no understanding if there is no effort to look more deeply to see what is there in our heart and in the heart of the other person.
Nhat Hanh
Image
When our beliefs are based on our own direct experience of reality and not on notions offered by others, no one can remove these beliefs from us.
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.
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.

Our nature is the nature of no birth and no death. It is impossible for a cloud to pass from being into nonbeing. And that is true with a beloved person. They have not died. They have continued in many new forms and you can look deeply and recognize them in you and around you.

If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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

No one is more worthy of your kindness and compassion than you are.
Nhat Hanh

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

It's like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you get a relief.
Nhat Hanh
Image
If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.
Nhat Hanh
Image
You would not cry if you knew that by looking deeply into the rain you would still see the cloud.
Nhat Hanh
Image
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
Image
We need to move beyond the idea of 'environment' and fall back in love with Mother Earth.
Nhat Hanh
Image
You can only recognize your happiness against the background of suffering.
