More quotes by Nhat Hanh
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything.
Nhat Hanh
If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.
Nhat Hanh
Reconciliation is to understand both sides to go to one side and describe the suffering being endured by the other side, and then go to the other side and describe the suffering being endured by the first side.
