Life is available only in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
I think, therefore I am ... not here.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is not to get out of society, to escape from society, but to prepare for a reentery into society.
Nhat Hanh

Nhat Hanh
The problem is whether we are determined to go in the direction of compassion or not. If we are, then can we reduce the suffering to a minimum? If I lose my direction, I have to look for the North Star, and I go to the north. That does not mean I expect to arrive at the North Star. I just want to go in that direction.
Nhat Hanh

To meditate does not mean to fight with a problem. To meditate means to observe. Your smile proves it. It proves that you are being gentle with yourself, that the sun of awareness is shining in you, that you have control of your situation. You are yourself, and you have acquired some peace.
Nhat Hanh
What happens in the present moment? In the present moment, you are producing thought, speech, and action. And they continue in the world.
Nhat Hanh
In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears.
Nhat Hanh
At the moment of waking up, before getting out of bed, get in touch with your breath
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
An oak tree is an oak tree. That is all it has to do. If an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.
Nhat Hanh
Do not be idolatrous about or bound to any doctrine, theory, or ideology, even Buddhist ones. All systems of thought are guiding means they are not absolute truth.
Nhat Hanh
The miracle is not to walk on water, or in the air, or on burning charcoal. The miracle is to walk on earth. You breathe in, you become aware of the fact that you are alive. You are alive and you are walking on this beautiful planet. The greatest of of all miracles is to be alive.
Nhat Hanh
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
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything.
