More quotes by Nhat Hanh
A bodhisattva is someone who has compassion within himself or herself and who is able to make another person smile or help someone suffer less. Every one of us is capable of this.
Nhat Hanh
The most important thing that we can do for the healing of our world is to hear inside ourselves, the sounds of the earth crying.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is not to get out of society, to escape from society, but to prepare for a reentery into society.
Nhat Hanh
I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight... I have to deal with my anger with care, with love, with tenderness, with nonviolence.
Nhat Hanh
Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.
Nhat Hanh
If love is in our hearts, every thought, word, and deed can bring about a miracle. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful.
Nhat Hanh
Meditation is not passive sitting in silence. It is sitting in awareness, free from distraction, and realizing the clear understanding that arises from concentration.
Nhat Hanh
If we take something to be the truth, we may cling to it so much that when the truth comes and knocks on our door, we won't want to let it in.
Nhat Hanh
Be peace, don't just talk about it.
Nhat Hanh
Life is available only in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
Anxiety, the illness of our time, comes primarily from our inability to dwell in the present moment.
Nhat Hanh
There is no birth, there is no death there is no coming, there is no going there is no same, there is no different there is no permanent self, there is no annihilation. We only think there is.
Nhat Hanh
To meditate means to go home to yourself. Then you know how to take care of the things that are happening inside you, and you know how to take care of the things that happen around you.
Nhat Hanh
The energy of compassion is very strong. We suffer. That is real. But we have learned not to get angry and not to allow ourselves to be carried by anger. We realize right away that that is fear. That is corruption.
Nhat Hanh
As you walk, you touch the ground mindfully, and every step can bring you solidity and joy and freedom. Freedom from your regret concerning the past, and freedom from your fear about the future.
Nhat Hanh
In each of us is a seed of understanding. The seed is God.
Nhat Hanh
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
Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.
Nhat Hanh
To meditate with mindful breathing is to bring body and mind back to the present moment so that you do not miss your appointment with life.
Nhat Hanh
If you find yourself in some difficulty, step aside, and allow Buddha to take your place. The Buddha is in you.
